Neural correlates of finger gnosis.
Neuropsychological studies have described patients with a selective impairment of finger identification in association with posterior parietal lesions. However, evidence of the role of these areas in finger gnosis from studies of the healthy human brain is still scarce. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify the brain network engaged in a novel finger gnosis task, the in...
متن کاملA Common Neural Component for Finger Gnosis and Magnitude Comparison
Finger gnosis (the ability to identify which finger has been touched) and magnitude comparison (the ability to determine which of two numbers is larger) are surprisingly correlated. We present a spiking neuron model of a common component that could be used in both tasks: an array of pointers. We show that if the model's single tuned parameter is set to match human accuracy performance in one ta...
متن کاملSubitizing, Finger Gnosis, and the Representation of Number
What precursor abilities form the building blocks of numerical representations? Two abilities were investigated: the ability to mentally represent small numerosities, indexed by subitizing speed (Butterworth, 1999), and the ability to mentally represent one’s fingers, indexed by finger gnosis (Butterworth, 1999; Penner-Wilger & Anderson, 2008). We examined the longitudinal relation between thes...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Craving in Methamphetamine Abuse
Introduction: Methamphetamine is a powerful psychostimulant that causes significant neurological impairments with long-lasting effects and has provoked serious international concerns about public health. Denial of drug abuse and drug craving are two important factors that make the diagnosis and treatment extremely challenging. Here, we present a novel and rapid noninvasive method...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Boredom in Music Perception
Introduction: Music can elicit powerful emotional responses, the neural correlates of which have not been properly understood. An important aspect about the quality of any musical piece is its ability to elicit a sense of excitement in the listeners. In this study, we investigated the neural correlates of boredom evoked by music in human subjects. Methods: We used EEG recording in nine sub...
