Imaging natural cognition in action.

摘要: The primary function of the human brain is arguably to optimize results our motor actions in an ever-changing environment. Our cognitive processes and supporting dynamics are inherently coupled both environment physical structure actions. To investigate cognition its most natural forms demands imaging activity while participants perform naturally motivated interactions within a full three-dimensional Transient, distributed patterns spontaneous actions, performed pursuit goals, may involve any or all parts cortex must be precisely timed at speed faster than thought action. Hemodynamic methods give information about on much slower scale, established techniques for modalities forbid from making extensive movements so as avoid intractable movement-related artifacts. overcome these limitations, we developing mobile brain/body (MoBI) approaches study cognition. By synchronizing lightweight, high-density electroencephalographic (EEG) recording with recordings participant sensory experience, body eye movements, other physiological measures, can apply advanced data analysis recorded signal ensemble. This MoBI approach enables accompanying active forms. Results studies have provided new insights into extend theories evolutionary — behavior meet challenges, opportunities.
