Cognitive neuroscience of sleep [PDF]
Mechanism is at the heart of understanding, and this chapter addresses underlying brain mechanisms and pathways of cognition and the impact of sleep on these processes, especially those serving learning and memory. This chapter reviews the current understanding of the relationship between sleep/waking states and cognition from the perspective afforded ...

From symbols to icons: the return of resemblance in the cognitive neuroscience revolution
We argue that one important aspect of the “cognitive neuroscience revolution” identified by Boone and Piccinini (Synthese 193(5):1509–1534. doi:10.1007/s11229-015-0783-4, 2015) is a dramatic shift away from thinking of cognitive representations as ...

Toward NeuroDM: Where Computational Neuroscience Meets Data Mining [PDF]
At the intersection of computational neuroscience (CN) and data mining (DM), we advocate a holistic view toward their rich connections. On the one hand, fundamental concepts in neuroscience such as saliency, memory, and emotion can find novel applications in data mining.

The cognitive neuroscience of autism [PDF]
The psychology and biology of a complex developmental condition Autism is diagnosed when a child or adult has abnormalities in a “triad” of behavioural domains: social development, communication, and repetitive behaviour/obsessive interests.1,2 Autism can occur at any point on the IQ continuum, and IQ is a strong predictor of outcome.3 Autism is also ...

Embodiment, Cognition and the World Wide Web
Cognitive embodiment refers to the hypothesis that cognitive processes of all kinds are rooted in perception and action. Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience revealed that the motor cortex, long confined to the mere role of action programming and ...

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Crossmodal Correspondences [PDF]
In a recent article, N. Bien, S. ten Oever, R. Goebel, and A. T. Sack (2012) used event-related potentials to investigate the consequences of crossmodal correspondences (the “natural” mapping of features, or dimensions, of experience across sensory modalities) on the time course of neural information processing.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) is a well-established technique for quantifying the brain regional biochemistry in vivo. In most studies, however, the 1H MRS is acquired during rest with little to no constraint on behavior.

Magic and cognitive neuroscience [PDF]
In recent years, neuroscientists have shown an increasing interest in magic. One reason for this is the parallels that can be drawn between concepts that have long been discussed in magic theory, particularly misdirection, and those that are routinely studied in cognitive neuroscience, such as attention and, as argued in this essay, different forms of ...

Computational Cognitive Neuroscience [PDF]
This chapter provides an overview of the basic research strategies and analytic techniques deployed in computational cognitive neuroscience. On the one hand, “top-down” (or reverse-engineering) strategies are used to infer, from formal characterizations ...
