In signal detection theory (SDT), responses are governed by perceptual noise and a flexible
decision criterion. Recent criticisms of SDT (see, eg, Balakrishnan, 1999) have identified …

Grid cells in the entorhinal cortex appear to represent spatial location via a triangular coordinate
system. Such cells, which have been identified in rats, bats and monkeys, are believed …

The legibility of the letters in the Latin alphabet has been measured numerous times since the
beginning of experimental psychology. To identify the theoretical mechanisms attributed to …

The brain's sensitivity to unexpected outcomes plays a fundamental role in an organism's
ability to adapt and learn new behaviors. Emerging research suggests that midbrain …

Understanding how people rate their confidence is critical for the characterization of a wide
range of perceptual, memory, motor and cognitive processes. To enable the continued …

Objective. Although interest in using electroencephalogram (EEG) activity for subject
identification has grown in recent years, the state of the art still lacks a comprehensive exploration …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN), which receives excitatory inputs from the cortex and has
direct connections with the inhibitory pathways of the basal ganglia, is well positioned to …

Classification of stimuli into categories (such as ‘old’ and ‘new’ in tests of recognition memory
or ‘present’ versus ‘absent’ in signal detection tasks) requires the mapping of internal …

Spatial navigation and memory rely on neural systems that encode places, distances, and
directions in relation to the external world or relative to the navigating organism. Place, grid, …

A wealth of evidence from behavioural, neuropsychological and neuroimaging research
supports the view that face recognition is reliant upon a domain-specific network that does not …
