Document Summary
Category-specific cortical activity precedes retrieval during memory search fmri imaging study of human engaged in memory search during a free recall task. Patterns of cortical activity associated with the study of 3 categories of pictures: faces, locations, objects. Effects of attention and emotion on face processing in the human brain an event-related fmri study: used event-related fmri to assess whether brain responses to fearful vs. neutral faces are modulated by spatial attention. Subjects did a demanding match task for pairs or stimuli at pre-specified locations. In the presence of task-irrelevant stimuli at other locations. 12 healthy volunteers always contained 4 stimuli 2 houses 2 faces arranged in vertical and horizontal pairs: two faces either both had neutral expression, or both has fearful expression. 4 critical erp: attending to faces with a neutral or fearful expression at task relevant locations, judging houses in the presence of faces at irrelevant locations that could have neutral or fearful.
