Differential encoding of noxious heat and self-reported pain along corticospinal networks: a simultaneous spinal cord-brain fMRI study

This study uses simultaneous spinal cord-brain fMRI to show how nociceptive stimuli and pain perception are encoded in corticospinal networks, with spinal cord activity primarily reflecting stimulus temperature.

Disentangling Prediction and Feedback in Social Brain Networks: A Predictive Processing Approach

The paper uses predictive processing theory to identify distinct brain regions involved in prediction formation and feedback processing during social cognition tasks, revealing functional dissociations in social brain networks.

Neural predictors of subjective fear depend on the situation

The paper investigates how neural representations of fear experience vary across different situational contexts and finds that most brain regions encode fear in a situation-dependent manner.

A computational neural model for mapping degenerate neural architectures

This study introduces NTFA, a computational method to analyze degeneracy in fMRI data, demonstrating its ability to uncover degeneracy assumptions in simulated datasets.

Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying motivated seeing

The paper investigates how reward motivation affects perceptual judgments and finds that motivation biases neural representations in visual cortex.
