Most research in cognitive neuroscience explores how external stimuli are processed by the
brain. However, the brain also receives input from the internal body. We discuss here how …

Virtual reality (VR) environments are increasingly being used by neuroscientists to simulate
natural events and social interactions. VR creates interactive, multimodal sensory stimuli that …

A thought-provoking argument that consciousness—more widespread than previously
assumed—is the feeling of being alive, not a type of computation or a clever hack In The …

We describe an integrative model that encodes associations between related concepts in
the human hippocampal formation, constituting the skeleton of episodic memories. The …

The hippocampus is critical for recollecting and imagining experiences. This is believed to
involve voluntarily drawing from hippocampal memory representations of people, events …

Decreases in alpha synchronization are correlated with enhanced attention, whereas alpha
increases are correlated with inattention. However, correlation is not causality, and …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

Memory consolidation is thought to depend on the reactivation of waking hippocampal firing
patterns during sleep. Following goal learning, the reactivation of place cell firing can …

Intracranial recordings in subjects suffering from intractable epilepsy—made during their
evaluation for an eventual surgical removal of the epileptic focus—have allowed the …

Human intracranial EEG (iEEG) recordings are primarily performed in epileptic patients for
presurgical map**. When patients perform cognitive tasks, iEEG signals reveal high …
