(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, 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 ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This thesis takes as its subject three model systems which exhibit interesting properties in the developing nervous system. The first study details the developmental properties of dendritic spines, the principle sites of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)How much visual information can we hold in mind at once? A large body of research has attempted to quantify the capacity of visual working memory by focusing on how many individual objects or visual features can be actively ...
