Inferential Pitfalls in Decoding Neural Representations
A key challenge for cognitive neuroscience is to decipher the representational schemes of the brain. A recent class of decoding algorithms for fMRI data, stimulus-feature-based encoding models, is becoming increasingly popular for inferring the dimensions of neural representational spaces from stimulusfeature spaces. We argue that such inferences are not always valid, because decoding can occur...
متن کاملSedation in fMRI : An unsolved challenge
There are many medications that can be utilized to sedate children undergoing fMR examinations. The most frequently used drugs are chloral hydrate, thiopenthal, phenobarbital, propofol, and fentanyl. These medications have some secondary effects on the electrical and metabolic activity of the cortex, cerebral blood flow(CBF), cerebral blood volume(CBV), and tissue oxygen extraction. These effec...
متن کاملLearning Neural Representations of Human Cognition across Many fMRI Studies
Cognitive neuroscience is enjoying rapid increase in extensive public brain-imaging datasets. It opens the door to large-scale statistical models. Finding a unified perspective for all available data calls for scalable and automated solutions to an old challenge: how to aggregate heterogeneous information on brain function into a universal cognitive system that relates mental operations/cogniti...
متن کاملDynamic Entity Representations in Neural Language Models
Understanding a long document requires tracking how entities are introduced and evolve over time. We present a new type of language model, ENTITYNLM, that can explicitly model entities, dynamically update their representations, and contextually generate their mentions. Our model is generative and flexible; it can model an arbitrary number of entities in context while generating each entity ment...
متن کاملAn fMRI Study Exploring the Overlap and Differences between Neural Representations of Physical and Recalled Pain
Implementing a recall paradigm without hypnosis, we use functional MRI (fMRI) to explore and compare nociceptive and centrally-driven pain experiences. We posit that a trace of a recent nociceptive event can be used to create sensory-re-experiencing of pain that can be qualified in terms of intensity and vividness. Fifteen healthy volunteers received three levels of thermal stimuli (warm, low p...
