Sedation 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...

Categorical membership modulates crowding: evidence from characters.

Visual crowding is generally thought to affect recognition mostly or only at the level of feature combination. Calling this assertion into question, recent studies have shown that if a target object and its flankers belong to different categories crowding is weaker than if they belong to the same category. Nevertheless, these results can be explained in terms of featural differences between cat...
