Double dissociation between overt and covert face recognition.
September 22, 1995... INTRODUCTION We and others have shown that patients with prosopagnosia caused by bilateral occipitotemporal lesions can produce discriminatory skin conductance responses (SCRs) to familiar faces that are otherwise unrecognized, a...

A positron emission tomography study of visual and mental spatial exploration.
September 22, 1995... INTRODUCTION Despite Henri Bergson's famous statement in Matiere et Memoire (Bergson, 1896) that the nervous system is not a machine to create representations, cognitive psychology has found in people's abilities to generate and...

Rapid changes of optical parameters in the human brain during a tapping task.
September 22, 1995... INTRODUCTION Noninvasive measures of human brain activity are an important source of data in cognitive neuroscience. Presently, most data are derived from two major groups of techniques: Those investigating changes of the...

Cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying visual and semantic processing: implications from "optic aphasia."
September 22, 1995... INTRODUCTION The existence of naming disorders that are specific to a single modality of input (e.g., visual: optic aphasia; tactile: tactile aphasia) has been cited as evidence that there are separate semantic systems addressed by...

A neural network simulation of hallucinated "voices" and associated speech perception impairments in schizophrenic patients.
September 22, 1995... INTRODUCTION No domain of mental life is immune to the effects of schizophrenia. Thought, affect, perception, and beliefs can all be altered. Brain mechanisms underlying this psychiatric syndrome remain poorly understood. One of the...

Functional mapping of sequence learning in normal humans.

A Dynamic Systems Approach to the Development of Cognition and Action.
September 22, 1995... Life, said the English novelist Samuel Butler, is like giving a concert on the violin while learning to play the instrument. Butler's insight-that there are no distinct training and performance modes in development - succinctly captures the...

The Cognitive Neurosciences.
September 22, 1995... This handsome volume is the latest of several excellent compendia in the field of cognitive neuroscience, and is the largest (1447 pages) and most comprehensive of the group. It consists of 92 chapters, ranging in subject matter from molecular...
