Decoding contextual influences on auditory perception from primary auditory cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Mounya Elhilali | Authors: Bernhard Englitz, Sahar Akram, Mounya Elhilali and Shihab Shamma | Summary: SPerception can be highly dependent on stimulus context, but whether and how sensory areas encode the context remains uncertain. We used an ambiguous auditory stimulus – a tritone pair – to investigate the neural activity associated with a […]

The Neurobiology of Cognitive Fatigue and Its Influence on Effort-Based Choice

Kavli Affiliate: Vikram Chib | Authors: Grace E Steward and Vikram S Chib | Summary: Feelings of cognitive fatigue emerge through repeated mental exertion and are ubiquitous in our daily lives. However, there is a limited understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the influence of cognitive fatigue on decisions to exert. We use functional magnetic […]
