Neural Representations of Perspectival Shapes and Attentional Effects: Evidence from fMRI and MEG

Neural Representation of Perspective Shapes and the Effect of Attention: Evidence from fMRI and MEG Introduction We always perceive objects from a specific perspective. In many cases, the shape we rely on when observing an object, the perspective shape, differs from its objective shape, the physical shape in the real world. For instance, a coin rot...

Reactivation strength during cued recall is modulated by graph distance within cognitive maps

Reactivation Strength in Memory is Modulated by Graph Distance in Cognitive Maps Research Background Memory formation and retrieval are among the crucial areas of research in neuroscience. Classic memory theories propose that memory depends on three distinct stages: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. New episodic memories are formed through en...

Speech Prosody Serves Temporal Prediction of Language via Contextual Entrainment

Time prediction plays an important role in language comprehension, making language processing faster and more efficient. Especially in complex auditory and language processing, predicting the information of the upcoming utterance can improve comprehension efficiency and reduce cognitive load. Existing research has shown that listeners can utilize t...
