Ideomotor theory claims that actions are cognitively represented and accessed via representations of the sensory effects they evoke. Previous studies provide support for this claim by showing presentation action primes activation in corresponding motor structures. However, whether people actually use action-effect to control their behavior is not yet clear. In our fMRI study, we had participants prepare manual or facial on a trial-by-trial basis, hypothesized preparation would be mediated...
Abstract The present fMRI study tested the assumption that a single pairing of stimulus and logically unrelated response is sufficient for binding corresponding codes into an event representation (event file) automatically retrieved upon processing at least one its components. In particular, we investigated whether repeating face or house and/or left right manual induces automatic retrieval it previously accompanied. ROI analyses fusiform area, parahippocampal place motor cortex revealed...
Two major trends have been dominant in health care recent years. First, there is a growing consensus that standardization of procedures and methods can result improved effectiveness safety treatments. Second, increased interest “personalized medicine,” which refers to the tailoring treatments individual patients. Here I discuss how these apply field quantitative EEG (qEEG), where de-artifacted resting state EEGs individuals are compared with normative database order assess clinically...
The visual cortex of the human brain contains specialized modules for processing different features an object. Confronted with multiple objects, system needs to attribute correct each object (often referred as 'the binding problem'). is assumed integrate perceived objects into files - pointers neural representations these features, which outlive event they represent in order maintain stable percepts over time. It has been hypothesized that a new encounter one previously bound will reactivate...
Humans represent perceptual events in a distributed, feature-specific fashion, which calls for some sort of feature integration. It has been suggested that processing an event leads to the creation temporary binding corresponding codes - object file. Here we show files do not only comprise but also include reflect evaluations event.
