We have come to recognize the brain as a predictive organ, anticipating attributes of the
incoming sensory stimulation to guide perception and action in the service of adaptive …

Humans have a unique ability to produce and consume rich, complex, and varied language
in order to communicate ideas to one another. Still, outside of natural reading, the most …

Music is core to human experience, yet the precise neural dynamics underlying music
perception remain unknown. We analyzed a unique intracranial electroencephalography …

Speech perception is thought to rely on a cortical feedforward serial transformation of
acoustic into linguistic representations. Using intracranial recordings across the entire …

Understanding how brains process sensory signals in natural environments is one of the key
goals of twenty-first century neuroscience. While brain imaging and invasive …

Selective attention comprises essential infrastructural functions supporting cognition—
anticipating, prioritizing, selecting, routing, integrating, and preparing signals to guide …

Mounting evidence suggests that 'core object recognition,'the ability to rapidly recognize
objects despite substantial appearance variation, is solved in the brain via a cascade of …

Real-world environments are typically dynamic, complex, and multisensory in nature and
require the support of top–down attention and memory mechanisms for us to be able to drive …

Over the past decade fMRI researchers have developed increasingly sensitive techniques
for analyzing the information represented in BOLD activity. The most popular of these …

A conspicuous ability of the brain is to seamlessly assimilate and process spatial and
temporal features of sensory stimuli. This ability is indispensable for the recognition of …
