Functional Neuroanatomy of Time-To-Passage Perception

The Functional Neuroanatomy of Speech Perception

The processing of heard speech in the brain comprises several stages: After an initial analysis of all sounds, speech and non-speech, in the primary auditory cortex (PAC), speech is identified and processed differently from non-speech sounds to determine its linguistic content. Previous findings show that language-specific processes involve a left-lateralized network of cortical regions in the ...

Towards a functional neuroanatomy of speech perception.

The functional neuroanatomy of speech perception has been difficult to characterize. Part of the difficulty, we suggest, stems from the fact that the neural systems supporting 'speech perception' vary as a function of the task. Specifically, the set of cognitive and neural systems involved in performing traditional laboratory speech perception tasks, such as syllable discrimination or identific...

Neurophysiology and functional neuroanatomy of pain perception.

The traditional view that the cerebral cortex is not involved in pain processing has been abandoned during the past decades based on anatomic and physiologic investigations in animals, and lesion, functional neuroimaging, and neurophysiologic studies in humans. These studies have revealed an extensive central network associated with nociception that consistently includes the thalamus, the prima...

The functional neuroanatomy of implicit-motion perception or ‘representational momentum’

BACKGROUND When we view static scenes that imply motion - such as an object dropping off a shelf - recognition memory for the position of the object is extrapolated forward. It is as if the object in our mind's eye comes alive and continues on its course. This phenomenon is known as representational momentum and results in a distortion of recognition memory in the implied direction of motion. R...
