From reference to sense: how the brain encodes meaning for speaking
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 In speaking, semantic encoding is the conversion of a nonverbal mental representation (the reference) into a semantic structure suitable for expression (the sense).

Time Adaptation Shows Duration Selectivity in the Human Parietal Cortex.
PLoS Biology, 2015 Although psychological and computational models of time estimation have postulated the existence of neural representations tuned for specific durations, empirical evidence of this notion has been lacking.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Anxious individuals have a greater tendency to categorize faces with ambiguous emotional expressions as fearful (Richards et al., 2002). These behavioral findings might reflect anxiety-related biases in stimulus representation within the human amygdala ...

Functional imaging of numerical processing in adults and 4-y-old children.
PLoS Biology, 2006 Adult humans, infants, pre-school children, and non-human animals appear to share a system of approximate numerical processing for non-symbolic stimuli such as arrays of dots or sequences of tones.

Reduced neural specificity in middle-aged HIV+ women in the absence of behavioral deficits
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015 In the post combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) era, the prevalence of mild forms of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) in individuals with HIV-infection remains high.

Stages of Nonsymbolic Number Processing in Occipitoparietal Cortex Disentangled by fMRI Adaptation
Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 The neurobiological mechanisms of nonsymbolic number processing in humans are still unclear. Computational modeling proposed three successive stages: first, the spatial location of objects is stored in an object location map; second, this information is ...

Adaptively and Spatially Estimating the Hemodynamic Response Functions in fMRI [PDF]
, 2011 In an event-related functional MRI data analysis, an accurate and robust extraction of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) and its associated statistics (e.g., magnitude, width, and time to peak) is critical to infer quantitative information about the relative timing of the neuronal events in different brain regions.

Selectivity of Adaptation in Single Units: Implications for fMRI Experiments [PDF]
Neuron, 2006 Understanding the neural basis of adaptation (repetition suppression) is critical for interpreting fMRI-adaptation experiments. Sawamura and colleagues provide a critical stepping-stone by elucidating the relation between neural adaptation and response selectivity. They find some cross-adaptation by two different stimuli that activate the same neuron.

FMRI adaptation during performance of learned arbitrary visuomotor conditional associations
NeuroImage, 2009 In everyday life, people select motor responses according to arbitrary rules. For example, our movements while driving a car can be instructed by color cues that we see on traffic lights. These stimuli do not spatially relate to the actions that they specify.
