Neural dynamic foundations of a theory of higher cognition: the case of grounding nested phrases

D Sabinasz, M Richter, G Schöner - Cognitive Neurodynamics, 2024 - Springer
Because cognitive competences emerge in evolution and development from the sensory-
motor domain, we seek a neural process account for higher cognition in which all …

[HTML][HTML] Embodied sequential sampling models and dynamic neural fields for decision-making: Why hesitate between two when a continuum is the answer

JC Quinton, F Gautheron, A Smeding - Neural Networks, 2024 - Elsevier
As two alternative options in a forced choice task are separated by design, two classes of
computational models of decision-making have thrived independently in the literature for …

A neural dynamic model of the perceptual grounding of spatial and movement relations

M Richter, J Lins, G Schöner - Cognitive Science, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
How does the human brain link relational concepts to perceptual experience? For example,
a speaker may say “the cup to the left of the computer” to direct the listener's attention to one …

Mechanisms of feature binding in visual working memory are stable over long delays

G Brown, I Kasem, PM Bays, S Schneegans - Journal of Vision, 2021 - jov.arvojournals.org
The ability to accurately retain the binding between the features of different objects is a
