Inducing amnesia through systemic suppression
Hippocampal damage profoundly disrupts the ability to store new memories of life events. Amnesic windows might also occur in healthy people due to disturbed hippocampal function arising during mental processes that ... -
The effect of perceptual expectation on repetition suppression to faces is not modulated by variation in autistic traits
(Elsevier, 2016-07)There is substantial variation in the magnitude of the repetition suppression (RS) effects across individuals; however the causes of this variation remain unclear. In a recent study, we found that RS in occipitotemporal ... -
Repetition suppression to faces in the fusiform face area: A personal and dynamic journey
(Elsevier, 2016-07)I review a number of fMRI studies that investigate the effects of repeating faces on responses in the fusiform face area (FFA). These studies show that repetition suppression (RS), as well as repetition enhancement (RE), ... -
Effect of trial-to-trial variability on optimal event-related fMRI design: Implications for Beta-series correlation and multi-voxel pattern analysis
(Elsevier, 2016-01-15)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies typically employ rapid, event-related designs for behavioral reasons and for reasons associated with statistical efficiency. Efficiency is calculated from the precision ...
