Illusory cold desensitizes touch

The paper investigates how cold perception affects touch sensitivity using a thermal illusion and a computational model, finding that subjective cold perception modulates tactile detection thresholds.

Abstract Encoding of Sounds in the Frontopolar Cortex

The paper records single-neuron activity in nonhuman primates to show frontopolar cortex encodes abstract representations of sounds and generates decision-making signals.

Invariant crossmodal equivalence evokes visual imagery from sounds in rhesus monkeys

This study shows rhesus monkeys can evoke visual imagery from sounds in a crossmodal equivalence task, suggesting they can form conceptual representations.
