Understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms that drive human behavior has been a
long-standing focus of cognitive neuroscience. One well-known neuro-metabolite involved …

Although object-related areas were discovered in human parietal cortex a decade ago,
surprisingly little is known about the nature and purpose of these representations, and how …

Stimulus-related brain activity is considered using wavelet-based analysis of neural
interactions between occipital and parietal brain areas in alpha (8–12 Hz) and beta (15–30 …

Translating noisy sensory signals to perceptual decisions is critical for successful
interactions in complex environments. Learning is known to improve perceptual judgments …

Efficient neural processing depends on regulating responses through suppression and
facilitation of neural activity. Utilizing a well-known visual motion paradigm that evokes …

Although diagnosed on the basis of deficits in social communication and interaction, autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) is also characterized by superior performance on a variety of …

Patients with visual agnosia show severe deficits in recognizing two-dimensional (2-D)
images of objects, despite the fact that early visual processes such as figure-ground …

Background: The 'beer goggles' phenomenon describes sexual attraction to individuals
when alcohol intoxicated whom we would not desire when sober. One possible explanation …

Background Electrical stimulation of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus (FNS) has been shown
to protect animals against cerebral ischemic injury. However, the changes in cortical …

Learning and experience are known to improve our ability to make perceptual decisions.
Yet, our understanding of the brain mechanisms that support improved perceptual decisions …
