In an age of increasing technology, the possibility that typing on a keyboard will replace
handwriting raises questions about the future usefulness of handwriting skills. Here we …

The supervisory attentional system has been proposed to mediate non-routine, goal-
oriented behaviour by guiding the selection and maintenance of the goal-relevant task …

When operating in a complex world, it is essential to have mechanisms that can suppress
distracting information [1, 2]. Such mechanisms might be related to neuronal oscillations …

This research volume serves as a comprehensive resource for psychophysiological
research on media responses. It addresses the theoretical underpinnings, methodological …

Visual word recognition has been proposed to rely on a hierarchy of increasingly complex
neuronal detectors, from individual letters to bigrams and morphemes. We used fMRI to test …

People live in a continuous environment in which the visual scene changes on a slow
timescale. It has been shown that to exploit such environmental stability, the brain creates a …

Studies of perceptual expertise typically ask whether the mechanisms underlying face
recognition are domain specific or domain general. This debate has so dominated the …

Since Broca's studies on language processing, cortical functional specialization has been
considered to be integral to efficient neural processing. A fundamental question in cognitive …

The scientific study of reading has a rich history that spans disciplines from vision science to
linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and education. The study of …

The fusiform face area (FFA) is involved in face perception to such an extent that some claim
it is a brain module for faces exclusively. The other possibility is that FFA is modulated by …
