Electrophysiological Potentials Reveal Cortical Mechanisms for Mental Imagery, Mental Simulation, and Grounded (Embodied) Cognition
Schendan, Haline E.; Ganis, Giorgio (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)Grounded cognition theory proposes that cognition, including meaning, is grounded in sensorimotor processing. The mechanism for grounding cognition is mental simulation, which is a type of mental imagery that re-enacts ... -
Neural processes underlying self- and other-related lies: An individual difference approach using fMRI
Ganis, Giorgio; Morris, Robert; Kosslyn, Stephen Michael (Informa UK Limited, 2009)Two hypotheses were tested using a novel individual differences approach, which identifies rate-limiting brain regions, that is, brain regions in which variations in neural activity predict variations in behavioral performance. ... -
Top-down modulation of visual processing and knowledge after 250 ms supports object constancy of category decisions
Schendan, Haline E.; Ganis, Giorgio (Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)People categorize objects more slowly when visual input is highly impoverished instead of optimal. While bottom-up models may explain a decision with optimal input, perceptual hypothesis testing (PHT) theories implicate ...
