Spinoza on the teaching of doctrines: Towards a positive account of indoctrination

Theory and Research in Education, 2021
The purpose of this article is to add to the debate on the normative status and legitimacy of indoctrination in education by drawing on the political philosophy of Benedict Spinoza (1632–1677).

Psilocybin alters visual contextual computations [PDF]

Nature Communications
Psilocybin alters perception and brain dynamics. Here, we investigate the effects of psilocybin using psychophysics, ultra-high field functional MRI, and computational modeling.

Individualized cognitive neuroscience needs 7T: Comparing numerosity maps at 3T and 7T MRI

NeuroImage, 2021
The field of cognitive neuroscience is weighing evidence about whether to move from the current standard field strength of 3 Tesla (3T) to ultra-high field (UHF) of 7T and above.

Spinoza’s Strong Eudaimonism

Journal of Modern Philosophy, 2023
In this paper I defend an eudaimonistic reading of Spinoza’s ethical philosophy. Eudaimonism refers to the mainstream ethical tradition of the ancient Greeks, which considers happiness a naturalistic, stable, and exclusively intrinsic good.

Topographic numerosity maps cover subitizing and estimation ranges

Nature Communications, 2021
Here, the authors show that the brain represents small and large numerosity ranges in a continuous topographic map, in line with the idea that differences in map properties underlie differences in perception.

Spinoza’s Theophany

Journal of Early Modern Studies, 2022
What does Spinoza mean when he claims, as he does several times in the Ethics, that particular things are expressions of God’s nature or attributes?

Topographic maps representing haptic numerosity reveals distinct sensory representations in supramodal networks

Nature Communications, 2021
Topographically organized tuned responses to haptic numerosity were found in the human brain. The responses to visual or haptic numerosity shared a similar large-scale cortical network, yet the maps of the two modalities only partially overlapped ...

Can 7T MPRAGE match MP2RAGE for gray-white matter contrast?

NeuroImage, 2021
Ultra-High Field (UHF) MRI provides a significant increase in Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and gains in contrast weighting in several functional and structural acquisitions. Unfortunately, an increase in field strength also induces non-uniformities in the

Comparing hand movement rate dependence of cerebral blood volume and BOLD responses at 7T

NeuroImage, 2021
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) based on the Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) contrast takes advantage of the coupling between neuronal activity and the hemodynamics to allow a non-invasive localisation of the neuronal activity.

Comparing BOLD and VASO-CBV population receptive field estimates in human visual cortex

NeuroImage, 2022
Vascular Space Occupancy (VASO) is an alternative fMRI approach based on changes in Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV). VASO-CBV fMRI can provide higher spatial specificity than the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) method because the CBV response is ...
