The past few decades have seen a rapid increase in the use of functional near‐infrared
spectroscopy (fNIRS) in cognitive neuroscience. This fast growth is due to the several advances …

The ability to acquire and use several languages selectively is a unique and essential human
capacity. Here we investigate the fundamental question of how multiple languages are …

The ability to classify visual objects into discrete categories ("friend" versus "foe"; "edible"
versus "poisonous") is essential for survival and is a fundamental cognitive function. The …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate an integrated battery of preoperative functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) tasks developed to identify cortical areas associated with tactile, motor, …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers an advantage over traditional functional
imaging methods [such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)] by allowing …

The development of novel miniaturized wireless and wearable functional near‐infrared
spectroscopy (fNIRS) devices has paved the way for new functional brain imaging that could …

Objective: To investigate changes in neural activation and desire to eat in response to
appetitive cues from pre-to postbariatric surgery for obesity. Background: Roux-en-Y gastric …

In neuroimaging research on attention, cognitive control, decision-making, and other areas
where response time (RT) is a critical variable, the temporal variability associated with the …

Visual search is aided by previous knowledge regarding distinguishing features and
probable locations of a sought-after target. However, how the human brain represents and …

Effective mental functioning requires that cognition be protected from emotional conflict due
to interference by task-irrelevant emotionally salient stimuli. The neural mechanisms by …
