Although economic decision-making is commonly characterized as a purely rational phenomenon, it is clear that real-world decision-making is influenced by emotions. Yet, relatively little is known about the neural correlates of this process. To explor...

A controversy in the field of hypnosis has centered on the question of whether there is a uniquely hypnotic state of consciousness and, if so, whether it is causally related to responsiveness to suggestion. Evidence from brain imaging studies has bee... Read More about Neuroimaging resolution of the altered state hypothesis.

Task- and response related dissociations between neglect in near and far space: A morphometric case study (2012)
Journal Article

Introduction: Patients with unilateral neglect may show line bisection errors selectively in either near (within hand reaching) or far (beyond hand reaching) space which suggests that these two spatial areas are coded differently by the brain. This e... Read More about Task- and response related dissociations between neglect in near and far space: A morphometric case study.

Suggested visual hallucination without hypnosis enhances activity in visual areas of the brain (2012)

In previous studies, decreased activity in the 'default mode' has always been associated with increased activation in task-relevant areas. W...
