Diagnosis of dyslexia often occurs in late schooling years, leading to academic and psychological challenges. Furthermore, diagnosis is time-consuming, costly, and reliant on arbitrary cutoffs. On the other hand, automated algorithms hold great poten...

The quantification of cognitive powers rests on identifying a behavioural task that depends on them. Such dependence cannot be assured, for the powers a task invokes cannot be experimentally controlled or constrained a priori, resulting in unknown vu...

Our ability to recognize an object amongst many exemplars is one of our most important features, and one that putatively distinguishes humans from non-human animals and potentially from (current) computational and artificial intelligence models. We c...

Neurological patients with apraxia of pantomime provide us with a unique opportunity to study the neural correlates of higher-order motor function. Previous studies using lesion-behaviour mapping methods led to inconsistent anatomical results, report...

INTRODUCTION: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a clinical syndrome of neurodegenerative origin with 3 main variants: non-fluent, semantic, and logopenic. However, there is some controversy about the existence of additional subtypes. Our aim was t...

This article investigates whether, and how, an artificial intelligence (AI) system can be said to use visual, imagery-based representations in a way that is analogous to the use of visual mental imagery by people. In particular, this article aims to ...

Single neurons in the primate orbitofrontal cortex respond when an expected reward is not obtained, and behaviour must change. The human lateral orbitofrontal cortex is activated when non-reward, or loss occurs. The neuronal computation of this negat...
