Researchers developed a multilayer MEG framework that estimates activity across cortical depth non-invasively. Simulations and three human datasets show when reliable laminar inference is possible, en...

This is a teaching-oriented post about the fundamental concepts underlying electroencephalography (EEG), and to some extent magnetoencephalography (MEG). I explore how electromagnetic fields are gener...

Although psycho-/neuro-linguistics has assumed a distinction between morphological and syntactic structure building as in traditional theoretical linguistics, this distinction has been increasingly c...

Two new papers have shown that dogs were fully distinct from wolves—and companions with people—more than 14,000 years ago.

fMRI data from individuals of a wide range of ages (from a few days to 100 years old) are used to map the key organizational axes of functional connectivity in the human cortex throughout the lifespan...

Our ability to retrieve the names of objects in our environment is a fundamental aspect of everyday life. This process requires a complex, dynamic network of cortical and subcortical interactions. Whi...

Zada et al. use fMRI hyperscanning to simultaneously record dyads engaging in free-form, interactive conversations. They find that speech production and comprehension rely on highly overlapping neural representations across the cortical language network. Brain-to-brain coupling is strongest in areas associated with social cognition.

In M/EEG analyses, it is often convenient to extract time series of activity originating from the regions of interest (ROIs). However, due to the spread of electric and magnetic fields, M/EEG recordin...

Making causal inferences about illness, compared to making causal inferences about mechanical breakdown and reading causally unconnected sentences, activates a semantic brain network implicated in the conceptual representation of animate entities (e.g. people, animals).

Uncovering the mental representations underlying symbolic domains is a long-standing goal of cognitive science. Music, a relatively unexplored aspect …

Genomic modifications underlie the evolution of human features, including a larger neocortex and enhanced cognition. Human Accelerated Regions (HARs) are highly-conserved loci containing human-specifi...

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are relatively newly discovered photoreceptors other than rods and cones. For the last decade, p...
