This study investigates how the brain encodes elementary mathematical concepts using fMRI and MEG, finding semantic similarity in neural activations across arithmetic and geometry domains.

The paper investigates how the brain represents fractions and integers, finding a shared semantic space in the cortex that integrates both.

The paper investigates how the brain represents manipulable objects based on similarity, finding that increasing similarity between objects leads to slower reaction times and weaker fMRI release from adaptation.

fMROI is an open-source tool for creating and visualizing ROIs in MRI data, offering a user-friendly interface and automation features for efficient neuroimaging analysis.

The paper investigates the multidimensionality of manipulable object processing by analyzing behavioral and neural data to identify interpretable dimensions that guide object categorization and neural representation.

The paper creates a feature database for manipulable objects and shows high structural similarity with existing semantic norms, validating its use in understanding object processing.

The paper uses tDCS and training tasks to dissociate neural processing of hands and tools in the pMTG, showing category-specific effects and distal network influences.

This study shows that cathodal tDCS modulates fear response extinction by altering neural activity and connectivity in prefrontal and cerebellar pathways during delayed extinction.
