The paper examines cortical structure in relation to empathy and psychopathy in incarcerated men, finding specific associations between cortical metrics and psychopathy factors.

The paper investigates how the brain encodes affect using sensory-specific or abstract codes by analyzing brain activity in blind, deaf, and typically-developed participants during movie viewing.

This study shows that the human superior temporal cortex synchronizes across auditory and visual conditions even in individuals without audiovisual experience, suggesting a modality-independent organization for multisensory processing.

The paper examines how brain network connectivity dynamics track affective changes during movie watching across multiple timescales.

The paper investigates how object shape is encoded in the visual cortex by analyzing orthogonal and shared representations using fMRI data.

The paper shows that emotion suppression failures are linked to increased sleep-like brain activity in specific regions and are influenced by prior sleep duration.

The paper shows that different analysis workflows by 70 teams on the same fMRI dataset led to varied results, but meta-analysis found consensus in activated regions.

The paper shows that the human striate cortex represents sound envelopes, demonstrating that V1 is a genuine locus for this representation.

This study identifies emotionotopy in the human right temporo-parietal cortex, showing gradients that encode emotional polarity, complexity, and intensity.

This study compares wPLI and wSMI metrics for detecting brain functional interactions, finding they capture distinct types of linear and nonlinear interdependencies in EEG data.

The paper shows that low-level visual features, shape, and category are processed in overlapping spatial locations early in time, suggesting parallel computations in visual processing.

The paper studies foreground-background segmentation during natural image viewing using fMRI data from seven visual areas, finding foreground enhancement in all regions and background suppression in V4 and LOC.
