Although memory is known to play a key role in creativity, previous studies have not isolated the critical component processes and networks. We asked participants to generate links between words that ranged from strongly related to completely unrelat

Decoding semantic representations in mind and brain

Autor: Saskia Frisby, Ajay Halai, Christopher Richard Cox, Matt Lambon Ralph, Timothy Thomas Rogers

A key goal for cognitive neuroscience is to understand the neuro-cognitive systems supporting semantic memory. Recent multivariate analyses of neuroimaging data have contributed greatly to this effort, but the rapid development of these novel approac

It is increasingly acknowledged that, often, patients with post-stroke aphasia not only have language impairments but also deficits in other cognitive domains (e.g. executive functions) that influence recovery and response to therapy. Many assessment

A comparison of dual gradient-echo and spin-echo fMRI of the inferior temporal lobe

Autor: Ajay Halai, Stephen Welbourne, Karl Embleton and Laura M Parkes

Magnetic susceptibility differences at tissue interfaces lead to signal loss in conventional gradient-echo EPI. This poses a problem for fMRI in language and memory paradigms which activate the most affected regions. Two methods proposed to overcome
