Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) or brain decoding methods have become standard
practice in analyzing fMRI data. Although decoding methods have been extensively applied …

Objects are the core meaningful elements in our visual environment. Classic theories of
object vision focus upon object recognition and are elegant and simple. Some of their …

Inferior temporal cortex (IT) is a key part of the ventral visual pathway implicated in object,
face, and scene perception. But how does IT work? Here, I describe an organizational …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Information that is shared across brains is encoded in idiosyncratic fine-scale functional
topographies. Hyperalignment captures shared information by projecting pattern vectors for …

Since its introduction, multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), or 'neural decoding', has
transformed the field of cognitive neuroscience. Underlying its influence is a crucial …

How does the human brain encode semantic information about objects? This paper
reconciles two seemingly contradictory views. The first proposes that local neural …

Abstract Objects belonging to different categories evoke reliably different fMRI activity
patterns in human occipitotemporal cortex, with the most prominent distinction being that …

Human cognition is sensitive to the distinction between living and nonliving things. Animacy
plays a role in language comprehension, reasoning, the organization of knowledge, and …

The functional organization of human high-level visual cortex, such as the face-and place-
selective regions, is strikingly consistent across individuals. An unanswered question in …
