The Benefit of Symbols: Monkeys Show Linear, Human-Like, Accuracy When Using Symbols to Represent Scalar Value
Livingstone, Margaret Stratford; Srihasam, Krishna; Morocz, Istvan Akos (Springer Verlag, 2010)When humans and animals estimate numbers of items, their error rate is proportional to the number. To date, however, only humans show the capacity to represent large numbers symbolically, which endows them with increased ... -
Controlled Ultrasound-Induced Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption Using Passive Acoustic Emissions Monitoring
Arvanitis, Costas D.; Livingstone, Margaret Stratford; Vykhodtseva, Natalia I.; McDannold, Nathan Judson (Public Library of Science, 2012)The ability of ultrasonically-induced oscillations of circulating microbubbles to permeabilize vascular barriers such as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) holds great promise for noninvasive targeted drug delivery. A major ... -
Multivariate Patterns in Object-Selective Cortex Dissociate Perceptual and Physical Shape Similarity
Haushofer, Johannes; Livingstone, Margaret Stratford; Kanwisher, Nancy (Public Library of Science, 2008)Prior research has identified the lateral occipital complex (LOC) as a critical cortical region for the representation of object shape in humans. However, little is known about the nature of the representations contained ... -
Novel domain formation reveals proto-architecture in inferotemporal cortex
Srihasam, Krishna; Vincent, Justin L.; Livingstone, Margaret S. (2014)Primate inferotemporal cortex is subdivided into domains for biologically important categories, like faces, bodies, and scenes, as well as domains for culturally entrained categories, like text or buildings. These domains ... -
Targeted, noninvasive blockade of cortical neuronal activity
McDannold, Nathan; Zhang, Yongzhi; Power, Chanikarn; Arvanitis, Costas D.; Vykhodtseva, Natalia; Livingstone, Margaret (Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Here we describe a novel method to noninvasively modulate targeted brain areas through the temporary disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via focused ultrasound, enabling focal delivery of a neuroactive substance. ...
