(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989)
-
The representation of objects, non-solid substances, and collections in infancy and early childhood (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Any given object in the world can cast an effectively infinite number of different images onto the retina, depending on its position relative to the viewer, the configuration of light sources, and the presence of other ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Midbrain dopamine has demonstrated roles in locomotion, motivation, associative learning, habit formation, action selection and cognition. The many functions of dopamine can be attributed to the multiple projection targets ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The basal ganglia form the largest sub-cortical structure in the human brain and are implicated in numerous human diseases. In songbirds, as in mammals, basal ganglia-forebrain circuits are necessary for the learning and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Faces each have distinct pigmentation as well as shape, which suggests that both cues may play a role in the perception of faces. However, there is a common implicit assumption that pigmentation cues are relatively ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Ras is an evolutionally conserved signaling molecule that has been implicated in a variety of cellular events, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Recent studies also suggest roles of Ras in neuronal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Every object in the world has a physical size which is intrinsic to how we interact with it: we pick up small objects like coins with our fingers, we throw footballs and swing tennis rackets, we orient our body to bigger ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Causal relationships are all around us: wine causes stains; matches cause flames; foods cause allergic reactions. Next to language, it is hard to imagine a cognitive process more indicative of human intelligence than causal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Bayesian Decision Theory describes optimal methods for combining sparse, noisy data with prior knowledge to build models of an uncertain world and to use those models to plan actions and make novel decisions. Bayesian ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A fundamental consideration in understanding neuronal networks is determining what sets the unitary functional strength of a synaptic connection between two cells, and what meta-processes such mechanisms answer to. This ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)(cont.) the functionality of the fMRI data analysis and visualization tools used at Massachusetts General Hospital. I analyze and interpret an 18-subject fMRI experiment I ran using the new task design and software tools. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The effects of attending to one or another of an object's attributes on neuronal representations of that object were investigated using extracellular recordings. A female rhesus monkey performed a delayed match to object ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)An area of left occipitotemporal cortex commonly referred to as the visual word form area (VWFA), has consistently been shown to activate during the processing of written language. However, the exact nature of the region's ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The elucidation of the biological bases of a complex trait like human language proceeds from identification of precise behavioral phenotypes to investigation of the underlying genes. The human behavioral parts of this ...
