A prerequisite for intelligent behavior is to understand how stimuli are related and to generalize this knowledge across contexts. Generalization can be challenging when relational patterns are shared across contexts but exist on different physical s...
Testing and training animals in motor and related tasks is a cornerstone of pre-clinical behavioural and rehabilitative neuroscience. Yet manually testing and training animals in these tasks is time consuming and analyses are often subjective. Conseq...
The ability to access brain information in real-time is crucial both for a better understanding of cognitive functions and for the development of therapeutic applications based on brain-machine interfaces. Great success has been achieved in the field...
In brain imaging, decoding is widely used to infer relationships between brain and cognition, or to craft brain-imaging biomarkers of pathologies. Yet, standard decoding procedures do not come with statistical guarantees, and thus do not give confide...
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....
In this paper, the differences between two motor imagery tasks are captured through microstate parameters (occurrence, duration and coverage, and mean spatial correlation (Mspatcorr)) derived from a novel method based on electroencephalogram microsta...

Conceptual abstraction and analogy-making are key abilities underlying humans' abilities to learn, reason, and robustly adapt their knowledge to new domains. Despite a long history of research on constructing artificial intelligence (AI) systems with...
Top-down processing in neocortex underlies functions such as prediction, expectation, and attention. Visual systems have much feedback connection that carries information of behavioral context. Top-down signals along feedback pathways modulate the re...
Metacognition is the ability to reflect on, and evaluate, our cognition and behaviour. Distortions in metacognition are common in mental health disorders, though the neural underpinnings of such dysfunction are unknown. One reason for this is that mo...
Classification of whole-brain functional connectivity MRI data with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has shown promise, but the complexity of these models impedes understanding of which aspects of brain activity contribute to classification. Whil...
