A shared neural architecture underlies finger movement encoding in the human sensorimotor cortex

The paper shows a shared neural architecture for finger movement encoding in the human sensorimotor cortex across individuals using fMRI and Procrustean transformation.

Training and transfer effects on motor skill learning: different encoding processes that lead to mechanism-specific neural codes

The paper investigates how training and transfer effects in motor learning are encoded differently in the sensorimotor cortex, revealing distinct neural mechanisms and shared information structures across individuals.

Reorganization of thalamocortical connections in congenitally blind humans

This study shows structural changes in thalamocortical connections in congenitally blind individuals, revealing a remapping of visual and temporal cortex connections.

Meditation-induced effects on whole-brain structural and effective connectivity

This study examines meditation's effects on brain structure and function using MRI, finding that effective connectivity features better distinguish meditators from controls than structural or functional connectivity alone.

Determinants of Real-Time fMRI Neurofeedback Performance and Improvement: a Machine Learning Mega-Analysis

This study uses machine learning to analyze 608 participants and identifies two factors improving neurofeedback performance: pre-training no-feedback runs and training patients over healthy participants.

Can we predict real-time fMRI neurofeedback learning success from pre-training brain activity?

This study investigates whether pre-training brain activity can predict success in real-time fMRI neurofeedback learning across 24 studies and 401 participants, finding a weak correlation but no consistent predictors.
