This study uses fMRI to investigate retinotopic responses in the auditory cortex of congenitally deaf individuals, finding cross-modal visual representations in the deaf but not in hearing participants.

The paper demonstrates the existence of contentopic maps in ventral and dorsal association cortex that organize manipulable object information topographically.

This paper develops a multiple sampling scheme to construct stable brain metabolic networks from PET data, showing improved stability and reduced subject requirements compared to conventional methods.

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 investigates how visual information reaches the auditory cortex in congenitally deaf adults using computational models and neuroimaging techniques.

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

The paper shows that distal brain connectivity correlates with high-level visual representations in occipito-temporal cortex, as measured by multivoxel pattern discriminability.

This study investigates the effect of cathodal tDCS on fear extinction in healthy women, finding no significant effect on self-reported fear but a group difference in implicit avoidance tendencies.

This study shows that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) changes functional network structure in the human brain, depending on whether a node is excited or inhibited.
