This meta-analysis explores the role of the mirror and mentalizing systems in the
understanding of other people's action goals. Based on over 200 fMRI studies, this analysis …

Although the cognitive sciences aim to ultimately understand behavior and brain function in
the real world, for historical and practical reasons, the field has relied heavily on artificial …

Abstract Information processing in the cerebral cortex involves interactions among
distributed areas. Anatomical connectivity suggests that certain areas form local hierarchical …

Is the human mind/brain composed of a set of highly specialized components, each carrying
out a specific aspect of human cognition, or is it more of a general-purpose device, in which …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

The human dorsal frontal cortex has been associated with the most sophisticated aspects of
cognition, including those that are thought to be especially refined in humans. Here we used …

The cortical visual system is almost universally thought to be segregated into two
anatomically and functionally distinct pathways: a ventral occipitotemporal pathway that …

Since the time of Pythagoras, numerical and spatial representations have been inextricably
linked. We suggest that the relationship between the two is deeply rooted in the brain's …

▪ Abstract The discovery and analysis of cortical visual areas is a major accomplishment of
visual neuroscience. In the past decade the use of noninvasive functional imaging …

About 40 years ago, James J. Gibson coined the term “affordance” to describe the action
possibilities offered to an animal by the environment with reference to the animal's action …
