ERPs in anterior and posterior regions associated with duration and size discriminations.

30 Aug 2009 The main objective of the present study was to determine whether event-related potentials (ERPs) predominant in prefrontal cortex (PFC) respond in a similar fashion to ERPs predominant in posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in duration and size ... Read more...

Representing the forest before the trees: a global advantage effect in monkey inferotemporal cortex.

15 Jun 2009 Hierarchical stimuli (large shapes composed of small shapes) have long been used to study how humans perceive the global and the local content of a scene--the forest and the trees. Studies using these stimuli have revealed a global advantage effect: ... Read more...

All numbers are not equal: an electrophysiological investigation of small and large number representations.

30 May 2009 Behavioral and brain imaging research indicates that human infants, humans adults, and many nonhuman animals represent large nonsymbolic numbers approximately, discriminating between sets with a ratio limit on accuracy. Some behavioral evidence, ... Read more...
