The genetics of colored sequence synesthesia: Evidence of linkage to chromosome 16q and genetic heterogeneity for the condition (2009)

Stephanie S. Nelson, Nili Avidan, Anand K. Sarma, Rejnal Tushe, Dianna M. Milewicz, Kwanghyuk Lee, ...

Synesthesia is a perceptual condition in which normal sensory stimulation can trigger anomalous sensory experiences. For example, synesthetes may experience colors in response to sounds, tastes in...

Ready ... Go: Amplitude of the fMRI Signal Encodes Expectation of Cue Arrival Time (2009)

Cui, Xu, Stetson, Chess, Montague, P. Read, Eagleman, David M.

What happens when the brain awaits a signal of uncertain arrival time, as when a sprinter waits for the starting pistol? And what happens just after the starting pistol fires? Using functional...

Predictability engenders more efficient neural responses (2009)

David M. Eagleman, Vani Pariyadath, Sara J. Churchill

The neural response to a stimulus diminishes with repeated presentations, a phenomenon known as repetition suppression. We here use neuroimaging to demonstrate that repetition suppression appears to...

Why overlearned sequences are special: distinct neural networks in the right hemisphere for ordinal sequences (2008)

Vani Pariyadath, Sara J. Churchill, David M. Eagleman

Written and spoken words activate left hemisphere areas involved in language processing. However, we here show that overlearned sequences (e.g. letters, numbers, weekdays, months) involve an...

Does Time Really Slow Down during a Frightening Event? (2007)

Stetson, Chess, Fiesta, Matthew P., Eagleman, David M.

Observers commonly report that time seems to have moved in slow motion during a life-threatening event. It is unknown whether this is a function of increased time resolution during the event, or...

NOTE Communicated by Geoffrey Hinton Optimal Smoothing in Visual Motion Perception (2007)

David M. Eagleman, Terrence J. Sejnowski

When a �ash is aligned with a moving object, subjects perceive the �ash to lag behind the moving object. Two different models have been proposed to explain this “�ash-lag ” effect. In the...

Cerebellar glomeruli: Does limited extracellular calcium implement a sparse encoding strategy? (2007)

David M. Eagleman, Olivier J-m, D. Coenen, Vladimir Mitsner, Thomas M. Bartol, Anthony J. Bell, ...

A class of synaptic learning models – in which presynaptic terminals have access to a weighted sum of the postsynaptic activity – has traditionally been dismissed as biologically unfeasible. This...

Ready…Go: Amplitude of the fMRI Signal Encodes Expectation of Cue Arrival Time

Cui, Xu, Stetson, Chess, Montague, P. Read, Eagleman, David M.

A neuroimaging study reveals novel insights into how the brain responds to an anticipated event, such as a starting gun or responding to a green light.
