Here we review the usefulness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in modulating
cortical networks in ways that might produce performance enhancements in healthy human …

The use of non-invasive brain stimulation is widespread in studies of human cognitive
neuroscience. This has led to some genuine advances in understanding perception and …

Although recent research has shown that the frontal cortex has a critical role in perceptual
decision making, an overarching theory of frontal functional organization for perception has …

The development of the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the study of
psychological functions has entered a new phase of sophistication. This is largely due to an …

Atypical perceptual processing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is well documented. In
addition, growing evidence supports the hypothesis that an excitatory/inhibitory …

Summary Early psychologists, including Galton, Cattell, and Spearman, proposed that
intelligence and simple sensory discriminations are constrained by common neural …

Abnormal perceptual experiences are central to schizophrenia, but the nature of these
anomalies remains undetermined. We investigated contextual processing abnormalities …

Medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and other regions like the occipital cortex (OC) exhibit
abnormal neural activity in major depressive disorder (MDD). Their relationship to specific …

Perceptual decisions require the transformation of raw sensory inputs into cortical
representations suitable for stimulus discrimination. One of the best-known examples of this …

Segregation of objects from their backgrounds is a fundamental visual function and one that
is particularly effective when objects are in motion. Theoretically, suppressive center …
