On building a clinical cognitive neuroscience.

No one can or has doubted that the brain "lights up" in the context of normal and abnormal experience and behavior. The anatomy of the brain ensures that its regions, circuits, distributed pathways, and cell assemblies have to provide the "electricity" ...

Swinging in the brain: shared neural substrates for behaviors related to sequencing and music.

Music consists of precisely patterned sequences of both movement and sound that engage the mind in a multitude of experiences. We move in response to music and we move in order to make music. Because of the intimate coupling between perception and ...

Facial expressions of emotion: a cognitive neuroscience perspective.

Facial expressions are one example of emotional behavior that illustrate the importance of emotions to both basic survival and social interaction. Basic facial responses to stimuli such as sweet and bitter taste are important for species fitness and ...

Collaborative e-learning using streaming video and asynchronous discussion boards to teach the cognitive foundation of medical interviewing: a case study.

BACKGROUND: Advances in electronic technology have created opportunities for new instructional designs of medical curricula. OBJECTIVE: We created and evaluated a 4-week online elective course for medical students to teach the cognitive basis for ...

Narrative plausibility: the impact of sequence and anchoring.

The perceived plausibility of suspect narratives is hypothesized to be a product of more than logical evaluation. Aspects of the narratives internal structure, notably the extent to which it follows a canonical (or stereotypical) sequence of events, may ...

Freuds problem: cognitive neuroscience & psychoanalysis working together on memory.

The first part of this paper discusses the development of Freuds views on memory from the time of the Project up to the formulation of the second topography. Freuds attempts to match his psychological views with an organic model were necessarily ...

Medical error: is the solution medical or cognitive?

Is the solution for medical errors medical or cognitive? In this AMIA2001 panel on medical error, we argued that medical error is primarily an issue for cognitive science and engineering, not for medicine, although the knowledge of the practice of ...

Challenging the widespread assumption that connectionism and distributed representations go hand-in-hand.

One of the central claims associated with the parallel distributed processing approach popularized by D.E. Rumelhart, J.L. McClelland and the PDP Research Group is that knowledge is coded in a distributed fashion. Localist representations within this ...

Representing task context: proposals based on a connectionist model of action.

Representations of task context play a crucial role in shaping human behavior. While the nature of these representations remains poorly understood, existing theories share a number of basic assumptions. One of these is that task representations are ...
