Simulating personal future events: Contributions from episodic memory and beyond
(2014-02-25)
Episodic simulation refers to the construction of imagined, hypothetical events that might occur in one's personal future. Damage to our capacity for episodic simulation can produce grave consequences, impairing our ability ...
High-level neural structures constrain visual behavior
(2014-06-06)
Visual cognition is notoriously limited: only a finite amount of information can be fully processed at a given instant. What is the source of these limitations? Here, we suggest that the organization of higher-level visual ...
Large-Scale Networks in the Human Brain revealed by Functional Connectivity MRI
(2013-10-18)
The human brain is composed of distributed networks that connect a disproportionately large neocortex to the brainstem, cerebellum and other subcortical structures. New methods for analyzing non-invasive imaging data have ...
The representation of person identity in the human brain
(2014-06-06)
Every day we encounter a variety of people, and we need to recognize their identity to interact with them appropriately. The most common ways to recognize a person's identity include the recognition of a face and of a ...
Temporal Processing in the Visual System
(2013-03-18)
Encoding time is one of the most important features of the mammalian brain. The visual system, comprising almost half of the brain is of no exception. Time processing enables us to make goal-directed behavior in the optimum ...
Neural Circuits at the Intersection of Feeling and Deciding
(2013-03-08)
Affect plays a central role in perception and action. We register how good or bad we feel about objects in our environment at the moment of perception. These associations can guide decisions between different courses of ...
A Cognitive Neuroscience of Social Groups
(2013-09-30)
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how the human brain processes information about social groups in three domains. Study 1: Semantic knowledge. Participants were scanned while they answered ...
Goal-Directed Simulation of Past and Future Events: Cognitive and Neuroimaging Approaches
(2013-08-21)
Goal-directed episodic simulation, the imaginative construction of a hypothetical personal event or series of events focused on a specific goal, is essential to our everyday lives. We often imagine how we could solve a ...
