The paper compares neural representational geometry during perception and imagery in visualizers and individuals with congenital aphantasia, finding differences in visual-similarity-aligned geometry during perceptual encoding.

The paper compares brain networks in human adults, neonates, and macaques to show that tool processing networks exist in humans before experience but not in macaques.

This study shows that congenital blindness leads to more variable resting-state functional connectivity in visual cortex compared to sighted individuals, highlighting the impact of sensory experience on brain organization.

The paper compares word computation mechanisms using fMRI data to determine which models best explain neural activity patterns related to language processing.

Sighted participants show left-lateralized, focal V1 activation for comprehensible speech versus reversed speech, independent of word concreteness or attention to word onsets.

The paper maps visual features in the human ventral visual pathway using fMRI and computational models, linking feature combinations to response-action systems.

The paper investigates how color knowledge is represented in the brain, finding that both sensory-derived and cognitively-derived systems exist, with a specific region supporting color knowledge in both blind and sighted individuals.

The paper investigates how blind individuals represent abstract concepts like 'rainbow' and 'freedom' by analyzing brain activation patterns in different regions of the anterior temporal lobe.
