Kavli Affiliate: Winrich Freiwald | Authors: Ben Deen and Winrich A Freiwald | Summary: What is the cognitive and neural architecture for high-level reasoning? We hypothesize that systems for understanding people and places remain separate throughout the brain, but share a parallel organization. We test this hypothesis using deep neuroimaging of individual human brains on […]
