When multi-voxel pattern similarity and global activation are intertwined: Approaches to disentangling correlation from activation

This paper demonstrates that global activation and pattern similarity are intertwined in neural data and shows that statistical methods to separate them are not always effective.

Neural Correlates of Attitudes and Risk Perception for Food Technology Topics

This study uses fMRI to examine how brain regions respond to different food technology topics, revealing differences in neural activation linked to risk perception and attitudes.

Model-based fMRI reveals dissimilarity processes underlying base-rate neglect

The paper develops a hybrid computational model of the inverse base rate effect and uses fMRI to show that dissimilarity-based processing contributes to the effect, with activation patterns in left rostrolateral prefrontal cortex tracking model predictions.

Rule Activation and Ventromedial Prefrontal Engagement Support Accurate Stopping in Self-Paced Learning

The paper investigates neural mechanisms of stopping information search in self-paced learning, finding increased rule-relevant activation and vmPFC engagement correlates with accurate stopping decisions.

The Evaluative Role of Rostrolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Rule-Based Category Learning

This study investigates the role of rostrolateral prefrontal cortex in rule-based category learning by comparing matching and classification tasks, finding that it is involved in evaluating evidence for a rule.
