Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

In the past three decades, our understanding of brain–behavior relationships has been
significantly shaped by research using non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques …

" 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 …

In this article, we challenge the usefulness of “attention” as a unitary construct and/or neural
system. We point out that the concept has too many meanings to justify a single term, and …

The successful planning and execution of adaptive behaviors in mammals may require long-
range coordination of neural networks throughout cerebral cortex. The neuronal …

Neural activity throughout the cortex is correlated with perceptual decisions, but inactivation
studies suggest that only a small number of areas are necessary for these behaviors. Here …

Skilled sensorimotor interactions with the world result from a series of decision-making
processes that determine, on the basis of information extracted during the unfolding …

Sensory areas are spontaneously active in the absence of sensory stimuli. This
spontaneous activity has long been studied; however, its functional role remains largely …

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

New technologies to record electrical activity from the brain on a massive scale offer
tremendous opportunities for discovery. Electrical measurements of large-scale brain …
