Neuronal activity in the brain gives rise to transmembrane currents that can be measured in
the extracellular medium. Although the major contributor of the extracellular signal is the …

The majority of functional neuroscience studies have focused on the brain's response to a
task or stimulus. However, the brain is very active even in the absence of explicit input or …

As the work of the principal authors and 23 other leading authorities, this book is a landmark
in the field. Of the 44 chapters, the senior author, Dr Niedermeyer, who is …

Functional neuroimaging studies have started unravelling unexpected functional attributes
for the posteromedial portion of the parietal lobe, the precuneus. This cortical area has …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is currently the mainstay of neuroimaging in
cognitive neuroscience. Advances in scanner technology, image acquisition protocols …

Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

Converging evidence suggests that the primate ventral visual pathway encodes increasingly
complex stimulus features in downstream areas. We quantitatively show that there indeed …

The ability to recognize a previously experienced stimulus is supported by two processes:
recollection of the stimulus in the context of other information associated with the …

There is a convergence between cognitive models of imitation, constructs derived from
social psychology studies on mimicry and empathy, and recent empirical findings from the …

When asked to perform the same task, different individuals exhibit markedly different
patterns of brain activity. This variability is often attributed to volatile factors, such as task …
