Neural coding of cognitive control: the representational similarity analysis approach
Cognitive control relies on distributed and potentially high-dimensional frontoparietal task
representations. Yet, the classical cognitive neuroscience approach in this domain has …

The functional specialization of visual cortex emerges from training parallel pathways with self-supervised predictive learning
The visual system of mammals is comprised of parallel, hierarchical specialized pathways.
Different pathways are specialized in so far as they use representations that are more …

A self-supervised domain-general learning framework for human ventral stream representation
T Konkle, GA Alvarez - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
Anterior regions of the ventral visual stream encode substantial information about object
categories. Are top-down category-level forces critical for arriving at this representation, or …

Motor planning brings human primary somatosensory cortex into action-specific preparatory states
Motor planning plays a critical role in producing fast and accurate movement. Yet, the neural
processes that occur in human primary motor and somatosensory cortex during planning …

Stability of motor representations after paralysis
Neural plasticity allows us to learn skills and incorporate new experiences. What happens
when our lived experiences fundamentally change, such as after a severe injury? To …

A representational similarity analysis of cognitive control during color-word Stroop
Progress in understanding the neural bases of cognitive control has been supported by the
paradigmatic color-word Stroop task, in which a target response (color name) must be …

[HTML][HTML] S1 represents multisensory contexts and somatotopic locations within and outside the bounds of the cortical homunculus
Recent literature suggests that tactile events are represented in the primary somatosensory
cortex (S1) beyond its long-established topography; in addition, the extent to which S1 is …

The topology and geometry of neural representations
B Lin, N Kriegeskorte - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2024 - pnas.org
A central question for neuroscience is how to characterize brain representations of
perceptual and cognitive content. An ideal characterization should distinguish different …

System identification of neural systems: If we got it right, would we know?
Artificial neural networks are being proposed as models of parts of the brain. The networks
are compared to recordings of biological neurons, and good performance in reproducing …

Cortical areas for planning sequences before and during movement
Production of rapid movement sequences relies on preparation before (preplanning) and
during (online planning) movement. Here, we compared these processes and asked …
