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 ...
The Organization of Corticostriatal Connectivity in the Human Brain
(2013-10-15)
Neurological and psychiatric disorders reveal that the basal ganglia subserve diverse functional domains, including movement, reward, and cognitive disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease, addiction, schizophrenia). Monkey ...
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 ...
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 ...
Reachable environments in the mind and brain: insights into the visual representation of near-scale spaces
(2021-05-12)
Much of our visual experience consists of rich, close-scale environments: imagine the view of your desk as you type an email, or the kitchen counter as you prepare a meal. Vision science has identified mechanisms for ...
The Nature and Origins of Selectivity for Music in the Human Brain
(2022-01-04)
Music is uniquely and universally human, and arises early in development. Recent fMRI studies have revealed neural populations in non-primary auditory cortex that respond selectively to music, responding strongly to a wide ...
Examining the Organization and Functions of Parallel Association Networks within Individuals
(2022-05-10)
In our daily lives, we often recall details of our past experiences, consider friends’ feelings, imagine novel scenarios, and flexibly communicate with others. These impressive cognitive abilities – for memory, social ...
Home language at school: Crosslinguistic sentence integration supports second language comprehension of oral and written school-based discourse
(2021-05-12)
Learners today arrive at school with increasingly varied home language repertoires. At the same time, the educational institutions they rely upon for success have historically been constructed around monolingual norms and ...
Population Coding for Multiple Features in the Human Brain and Convolutional Neural Networks
(2021-07-12)
Entities in the world comprise multiple features: how might an intelligent system, whether biological or synthetic, encode those feature combinations and put them to use in task-relevant processing? While this is a perennial ...
