Discoveries over the past two decades demonstrate that regions distributed throughout the
association cortex, often called the default network, are suppressed during tasks that …

An increasing amount of research effort is being directed toward investigating the neural
bases of social cognition from a systems neuroscience perspective. Evidence from multiple …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

The inferotemporal (IT) cortex is responsible for object recognition, but it is unclear how the
representation of visual objects is organized in this part of the brain. Areas that are selective …

Understanding the amazingly complex human cerebral cortex requires a map (or
parcellation) of its major subdivisions, known as cortical areas. Making an accurate areal …

Intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG), also known as electrocorticography when using
subdural grid electrodes or stereotactic EEG when using depth electrodes, is blossoming in …

Primates recognize complex objects such as faces with remarkable speed and reliability.
Here, we reveal the brain's code for facial identity. Experiments in macaques demonstrate …
