Human verbal thinking is an object of many multidisciplinary studies. Verbal cognition is often an integration of complex mental activities, such as neuro-cognitive and psychological processes. In neuro-cognitive study of language, neural architecture and neuropsychological mechanism of verbal cognition are basis of a vector – based modeling. Human mental states, as constituents of mental conti...

Recent work has indicated that the insula may be involved in goal-directed cognition, switching between networks, and the conscious awareness of affect and somatosensation. However, these findings have been limited by the insula's remarkably high base rate of activation and considerable functional heterogeneity. The present study used a relatively unbiased data-driven approach combining resting...

In this paper, we discuss the existence and properties of stationary solution of Amari’s dynamical neural field model in Rn. Amari’s model has been extensively applied in psychophysics, neurophysiology, machine vision and cognition, where its stationary solution plays an important role. Though many problems in these applications are presented in high dimensional spaces, most investigations on t...

Turing starts on an equivocation. We know now that what he will go on to consider is not whether or not machines can think, but whether or not machines can do what thinkers like us can do -and if so, how. Doing is performance capacity, empirically observable. Thinking (or cognition) is an internal state, its correlates empirically observable as neural activity (if we only knew which neural acti...

social cognition is defined as the capacity to generate, perceive and interpret and responses to the dispositions, intentions and behaviors of other people. it includes different specific cognitive processes that underlie social interactions. four domains of social cognition are named theory of mind (also known as mentalizing), emotion recognition, social perception and attributional style. anx...

Aim: To evaluate and compare the social cognition in patients with schizophrenia, healthy first-degree relatives and controls, by studying the relationship between social cognition and nonsocial cognition, psychopathology, and other clinical and sociodemographic variables. Method: The total sample was comprised of patients diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia (n = 29), healthy first-degree rel...
