Tracking cognitive processes with functional MRI mental chronometry.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used widely to determine the spatial layout of brain activation associated with specific cognitive tasks at a spatial scale of millimeters. Recent methodological improvements have made it possible to determine the latency and temporal structure of the activation at a temporal scale of few hundreds of milliseconds. Despite the sluggishness of the h...
متن کاملMental chronometry using latency-resolved functional MRI.
Vascular responses to neural activity are exploited as the basis of a number of brain imaging techniques. The vascular response is thought to be too slow to resolve the temporal sequence of events involved in cognitive tasks, and hence, imaging studies of mental chronometry have relied on techniques such as the evoked potential. Using rapid functional MRI (fMRI) of single trials of two simple b...
متن کاملDecoding Cognitive Processes from Functional MRI
The goal of cognitive neuroscience is to understand the the brain processes that underlie cognitive function. These brain processes are studied by examining neural responses to experimental tasks and stimuli. While most experiments are designed to isolate a single cognitive process, the resulting brain images often encode multiple processes simultaneously. Thus standard classification methods a...
متن کاملNeural correlates of decision processes: neural and mental chronometry.
Recent studies aim to explain the duration and variability of behavioral reaction time in terms of neural processes. The time taken to make choices is occupied by at least two processes. Neurons in sensorimotor structures accumulate evidence that leads to alternative categorizations, while other neurons within these structures prepare and initiate overt responses. These distinct stages of stimu...
متن کاملPsychometric G and mental chronometry.
open concepts that comprise all aspects of brain activity that result in some form of information processing, Two main aspects of these functions call for investigation: (1) the basic neural design features and operating principles of the brain that make these functions possible, and (2) the cause of individual biologically normal variation in the proficiency of performing these cognitive funct...
