Attention and awareness in stage magic: turning tricks into research.

30 Oct 2008 Just as vision scientists study visual art and illusions to elucidate the workings of the visual system, so too can cognitive scientists study cognitive illusions to elucidate the underpinnings of cognition. Magic shows are a manifestation of ... Read more...

Association of major depressive disorder with altered functional brain response during anticipation and processing of heat pain.

30 Oct 2008 CONTEXT: Chronic pain and depression are highly comorbid conditions, yet little is known about the neurobiological basis of pain processing in major depressive disorder (MDD). OBJECTIVE: To examine the neural substrates underlying anticipation and ... Read more...

Aberrant brain activation during gaze processing in boys with fragile X syndrome.

30 Oct 2008 CONTEXT: Eye contact is a fundamental component of human social behavior. Individuals with fragile X syndrome (fraX), particularly male subjects, avoid eye contact and display other social deficits. To date (to our knowledge), this behavior in fraX ... Read more...
