The occipital face area (OFA) is face-selective. This enhanced activation to faces could reflect either generic face and shape-related processing or high-level conceptual processing of identity. Here we examined these two possibilities using a state-dependent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigm. The lateral occipital (LO) cortex which is activated non-selectively by various types o...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) patients exhibit a disparity in their actual physical identity and their cognitive understanding of their physical identity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) tasks have contributed to understanding the neural circuitry involved in processing identity in healthy individuals. We hypothesized that women recovering from AN would show altered neural responses while ...

identity orientations refer to the relative importance that individuals place on various identity attributes or characteristics such as race, religion, culture and language when constructing their self-definitions (chew, 2007; cheek, 1989). accordingly, the present study aims at identifying the impact of identity aspects on the iranian learners' english language achievements at shiraz universit...

The majority of the studies on V˙O2 kinetics in pediatric populations investigated gender differences in prepubertal children during submaximal intensity exercise, but studies are lacking in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that gender differences exist in the V˙O2 and heart rate (HR) kinetic responses to moderate (M) and heavy (H) intensity exercise in adolesce...

In our recent study in The Journal of Neuroscience (Dubois, de Berker, & Tsao, 2015), we compared the amount of information about face identity and face viewpoint that can be retrieved from populations of single units and from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) voxel patterns with a simple linear classifier in the macaque monkey. Based on our decoding results and on further probing of...

the present study was aimed at examining concerns about the social effects of efl learning, a challenging area of research which has not been discussed sufficiently. it tried to investigate the relationship between efl learning and national identity. in addition, attempt was made to find a relationship between language motivation types and national identity. furthermore, the role of two demogra...

Functional genomics screens using multi-parametric assays are powerful approaches for identifying genes involved in particular cellular processes. However, they suffer from problems like noise, and often provide little insight into molecular mechanisms. A bottleneck for addressing these issues is the lack of computational methods for the systematic integration of multi-parametric phenotypic dat...

It is shown that Cornwall’s pinch technique can be extended in a consistent diagrammatic way, so as to describe general background field gauges in Yang-Mills theories. The resulting one-loop Green’s functions are found to obey Ward identities identical to those derived from the classical action at the tree level. This generalization of the pinch technique may hence be related to the background ...

TREC’06 genomics track was focusing on text mining and passage retrieval. WIM lab participated in this year’s TREC genomics track. Our system consists of five parts: preprocessing, sentence generation, document retrieval, answer extraction and answer fusion. And we developed two different method: a automated profile matchingbased method and a text categorizationbased method to do the text minin...
