Mental training enhances attentional stability: neural and behavioral evidence.
19 Oct 2009 The capacity to stabilize the content of attention over time varies among individuals, and its impairment is a hallmark of several mental illnesses. Impairments in sustained attention in patients with attention disorders have been associated with ...

Relationship between neural responses and visual grouping in the monkey parietal cortex.
19 Oct 2009 Visual grouping through the binding of multiple discrete elements is an important component of object perception, and neurological studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in that process. To study the neural ...

Gamma-band synchronization in the macaque hippocampus and memory formation.
5 Oct 2009 Increasing evidence suggests that neuronal synchronization in the gamma band (30-100 Hz) may play an important role in mediating cognitive processes. Gamma-band synchronization provides for the optimal temporal relationship between two signals to ...

Learning sculpts the spontaneous activity of the resting human brain.
3 Oct 2009 The brain is not a passive sensory-motor analyzer driven by environmental stimuli, but actively maintains ongoing representations that may be involved in the coding of expected sensory stimuli, prospective motor responses, and prior experience. ...

The time course of task switching: a speed--accuracy trade-off analysis.
29 Sep 2009 On each trial of this study, participants either switched between or repeated two simple, two-choice tasks involving either letter or digit classifications. Speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT) curves were obtained using the response-signal method of ...

Dynamics of activation of semantically similar concepts during spoken word recognition.
29 Sep 2009 Semantic similarity effects provide critical insight into the organization of semantic knowledge and the nature of semantic processing. In the present study, we examined the dynamics of semantic similarity effects by using the visual world ...
