The study of decision making spans such varied fields as neuroscience, psychology,
economics, statistics, political science, and computer science. Despite this diversity of …

Recognizing emotion from facial expressions draws on diverse psychological processes
implemented in a large array of neural structures. Studies using evoked potentials, lesions …

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?" …

Here we summarize our present approach to the problem of consciousness. After an
introduction outlining our general strategy, we describe what is meant by the …

We see the world in scenes, where visual objects occur in rich surroundings, often
embedded in a typical context with other related objects. How does the human brain analyse …

Humans can recognize the gist of a novel image in a single glance, independent of its
complexity. How is this remarkable feat accomplished? On the basis of behavioral and …

Cortical analysis related to visual object recognition is traditionally thought to propagate
serially along a bottom-up hierarchy of ventral areas. Recent proposals gradually promote …

Visual perception can be influenced by top-down processes related to the observer's goals
and expectations, as well as by bottom-up processes related to low-level stimulus attributes …

A comprehensive picture of object processing in the human brain requires combining both
spatial and temporal information about brain activity. Here we acquired human …

Activated neuronal groups typically engage in rhythmic synchronization in the gamma-
frequency range (30–100Hz). Experimental and modeling studies demonstrate that each …
