The superior capability of cognitive experts largely depends on quick automatic processes.
To reveal their neural bases, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to study brain …

Although recent psychophysical studies indicate that visual awareness and top-down attention
are two distinct processes, it is not clear how they are neurally dissociated in the visual …

The superior capability of cognitive experts largely depends on automatic, quick information
processing, which is often referred to as intuition. Intuition develops following extensive long-…

Emotional events resulting from a choice influence an individual's subsequent decision
making. Although the relationship between emotion and decision making has been widely …

People have long speculated whether the evolution of bipedalism in early hominins
triggered tool use (by freeing their hands) or whether the necessity of making and using tools …

Spatial context in vision has profound effects on neural responses and perception. Recent
animal studies suggest that the effect of surround on a central stimulus can dramatically …

This magnetic resonance imaging study is designed to obtain relevant implications for
criminal justice and explores the effective connectivity underlying expertise. Laypersons and …

We investigate the statistical properties of the actual periodic orbits in a 4-disk billiard system
in the context of pruning. For served value of the system parameter, we numerically obtain …

We have a social preference to reduce inequity in the outcomes between oneself and others.
Such a preference varies according to others. We performed functional magnetic …

Non-invasive human electroencephalography (EEG) coupled with transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) is currently used to measure coarse stimulus-response relationships in brain …
