cognitive processes with the modalities, the body, and the environment. Rather than being …

Scholarly debates about the nature of human emotion traditionally pit biological and cultural
influences against one another. Although many existing theories acknowledge the role of …

Extensive sampling of neural activity during rich cognitive phenomena is critical for robust
understanding of brain function. Here we present the Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD), in …

Most theories and hypotheses in psychology are verbal in nature, yet their evaluation
overwhelmingly relies on inferential statistical procedures. The validity of the move from …

Semantic information in the human brain is organized into multiple networks, but the fine-
grain relationships between them are poorly understood. In this study, we compared …

Biological and artificial information processing systems form representations that they can
use to categorize, reason, plan, navigate, and make decisions. How can we measure the …

Reconstructing intended speech from neural activity using brain-computer interfaces holds
great promises for people with severe speech production deficits. While decoding overt …

" Our thoughts are meaningful. We think about things in the outside world; how can that be
so? This is one of the deepest questions in contemporary philosophy. Ever since …

The meaning of language is represented in regions of the cerebral cortex collectively known
as the 'semantic system'. However, little of the semantic system has been mapped …

A major goal of human neuroscience is to relate differences in brain function to differences
in behavior across people. Recent work has established that whole-brain functional …
