The cognitive concept of representation plays a key role in theories of brain information
processing. However, linking neuronal activity to representational content and cognitive …

Perhaps one of the greatest scientific challenges is to understand the human brain. Here we
review current methods in human neuroscience, highlighting the ways that they have been …

It has been hypothesized that the brain organizes concepts into a mental map, allowing
conceptual relationships to be navigated in a manner similar to that of space. Grid cells use …

An extensive body of empirical research has revealed remarkable regularities in the
acquisition, organization, deployment, and neural representation of human semantic …

Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) has led to major changes in how fMRI data are
analyzed and interpreted. Many studies now report both MVPA results and results from …

There is a long-standing debate about whether categories are represented by individual
category members (exemplars) or by the central tendency abstracted from individual …

Since its introduction, multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), or 'neural decoding', has
transformed the field of cognitive neuroscience. Underlying its influence is a crucial …

Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of functional magnetic
resonance imaging studies seeking to answer questions about how the brain represents …

Familiarity, or memory strength, is a central construct in models of cognition. In previous
categorization and long-term memory research, correlations have been found between …

The hippocampus contributes to both remembering specific events and generalization
across events. Recent work suggests that information may be represented along the …
