Tethered and battery-powered devices that interface with neural tissues can restrict natural
motions and prevent social interactions in animal models, thereby limiting the utility of these …

The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical
areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral temporal …

Traditionally studies of brain function have focused on task-evoked responses. By their very
nature such experiments tacitly encourage a reflexive view of brain function. While such an …

Summary Ultra-slow,∼ 0.1-Hz variations in the oxygenation level of brain blood are widely
used as an fMRI-based surrogate of" resting-state" neuronal activity. The temporal …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

Prior expectations about the visual world facilitate perception by allowing us to quickly
deduce plausible interpretations from noisy and ambiguous data. The neural mechanisms of …

In addition to bottom-up input, the visual cortex receives large amounts of feedback from
other cortical areas [1–3]. One compelling example of feedback activation of early visual …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is currently the mainstay of neuroimaging in
cognitive neuroscience. Advances in scanner technology, image acquisition protocols …

Functional MRI (fMRI) has uncovered widespread hemodynamic fluctuations in the brain
during rest. Recent electroencephalographic work in humans and microelectrode recordings …

The concept of a default mode of brain function arose out of a focused need to explain the
appearance of activity decreases in functional neuroimaging data when the control state …
