Real-time cognition is best described not as a sequence of logical operations performed on
discrete symbols but as a continuously changing pattern of neuronal activity. The continuity …

The cognitive and neural sciences have been on the brink of a paradigm shift for over a
decade now. The traditional information-processing framework in psychology, with its …

How do we do what we do? How do we play tennis, have conversations, go shopping? At a
finer grain, how do we recognize familiar objects such as bouncing balls, words, smiles …

In some areas of cognitive science we are confronted with ultrafast cognition, exquisite
context sensitivity, and scale‐free variation in measured cognitive activities. To move …

Parsing a cognitive task into a sequence of operations is a central problem in cognitive
neuroscience. We argue that a major advance is now possible owing to the application of …

Numerous previous neuroimaging studies suggest an involvement of cortical motor areas
not only in action execution but also in action recognition and understanding. Motor areas of …

Fast internally generated sequences of neural representations are suggested to support
learning and online planning. However, these sequences have only been studied in the …

Perception, cognition, and action occur over time. An organism must continuously and
rapidly integrate sensory data with prior knowledge and potential actions at multiple …

W'hat is cognition? Contemporary orthodoxy maintains that it is computation: the mind is a
special kind of computer, and cognitive processes are internal manipulations of symbolic …

Neuronal oscillations of different frequencies are hypothesized to be basic for temporal
perception; this theoretical concept provides the frame to discuss two temporal mechanisms …
