Objective. The authors report methods developed for the implantation of micro-wire bundles into mesial temporal lobe structures and subsequent single neuron recording in epileptic patients undergoing in-patient diagnostic monitoring. This is done with the intention of lowering the perceived barriers to routine single neuron recording from deep brain structures in the clinical setting. Approach....

Although there has been considerable debate about the existence of metarepresentational capacities in non-human animals and their scope in humans, the well-confirmed temporal difference reinforcement learning models of rewardguided decision making have been largely overlooked. This paper argues that the reward prediction error signals which are postulated by temporal difference models and have ...

Atrial mechanoreceptors, stimulated by increased pressure or volume, elicit in healthy humans a net sympathoinhibitory response. The co-existence of an atrial reflex eliciting muscle sympathoexcitation has been postulated but undetected by conventional multi-unit muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). We hypothesized that in response to a selective increase in atrial pressure, single-unit MS...

A commander and his staff have to use whatever information is available to arrive at an understanding of the situation that can serve as a basis for action, hence sensemaking has a central role in the C2 process. This paper reports the results of a first experimental study of the sensemaking process in a command team. The participants were 99 Army captains studying at the Swedish National Defen...
