Abstract

This work presents a method for generating intuitive visualizations for high-level user queries to an hierarchical surface-based neuroanatomical atlas. We combine a spreading activation approach for computing focus and context in an ontology with a specific level-of-detail strategy for hierarchical structures. We demonstrate our method on an atlas of the bee brain.

Neuroanatomical Correlates of Human Reasoning

One of the important questions cognitive theories of reasoning must address is whether logical reasoning is inherently sentential or spatial. A sentential model would exploit nonspatial (linguistic) properties of representations whereas a spatial model ...
Neuroanatomical analysis for onomatopoeia and phainomime words: fMRI study
ICNC'05: Proceedings of the First international conference on Advances in Natural Computation - Volume Part I

The purpose of this study is to examine the Neuroanatomical areas related with onomatopoeia and phainomime word recognition. Using the block-designed fMRI, whole-brain images (N=11) were acquired during lexical decisions. We examined how the lexical ...
Neuroanatomical Correlates of Perceived Usability
UIST '17: Proceedings of the 30th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology

Usability has a distinct subjective component, yet surprisingly little is known about its neural basis and relation to the neuroanatomy of aesthetics. To begin closing this gap, we conducted two functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in which ...
