Parietal cortex is often implicated in visual processing of actions. Action understanding is essentially abstract, specific to the type or goal of action, but greatly independent of variations in the perceived position of the action. If... more
Previously, multi-voxel pattern analysis has been used to decode words referring to concrete object categories. In this study we investigated if single-trial-based brain activity was sufficient to distinguish abstract (e.g., mercy) versus... more
How do our brains achieve the cognitive control that is required for flexible behavior? Several models of cognitive control propose a role for frontoparietal cortex in the structure and representation of task sets or rules. For behavior... more
Adaptive coding of stimuli in visual cortex is well documented in perception, where it supports efficient encoding over a broad range of possible percepts. Recently, a similar neural mechanism has been reported also in value-based... more
Humans use rules to organize their actions to achieve specific goals. While simple rules that link a sensory stimulus to one response may suffice in some situations, often the application of multiple, hierarchically-organized rules is... more
Neural responses in visual cortex are governed by a topographic mapping from retinal locations to cortical responses. Moreover, at the voxel population level early visual cortex (EVC) activity enables accurate decoding of stimuli... more
Based on self-determination theory, adolescents’ leisure-time (LT) physical activity (PA) behaviour may depend on the extent by which they perceive an environment as autonomy-supportive. The present study aimed to investigate whether... more
Evidence suggests that physical activity patterns become habitual during childhood, and it is possible that activity patterns continue into adulthood. Unfortunately, traditional physical education practices have been called into question... more
Poster Presentation: The purpose of this study was to determine what impact preservice teachers had on their pupils accruing the recommended levels of MVPA during their early field experience of a secondary methods course teaching using... more
Fractionating the anterior temporal lobe: MVPA reveals differential responses to input and conceptual modality, NeuroImage,
Task preparation has traditionally been thought to rely upon persistent representations of instructions that permit their execution after delays. Accumulating evidence suggests, however, that accurate retention of task knowledge can be... more
Humans recognize faces and objects with high speed and accuracy regardless of their orientation. Recent studies have proposed that orientation invariance in face recognition involves an intermediate representation where neural responses... more
Human and non-human primates rely on information gathered from faces during social interaction. Two channels of information are gathered from the face—the identity of the individual (conveyed by featural and configural aspects of the... more
