Semantic and emotional content of imagined representations
A collaboration between and Daniel Mitchell at the CBU and Rhodri Cusack at Western’s Brain and Mind Institute used a new type of real-time fMRI scanning to compare brain activity patterns when volunteers imagined objects to the activity patterns when they actually saw many different objects. They found that when something is imagined, volunteers didn’t […]
Time-series analysis to mood fluctuations in bipolar disorder to promote treatment innovation?
A paper on research by Emily Holmes and her team on using applications of time-series analysis to mood fluctuations in bipolar disorder to promote treatment innovation has been published in Nature. The findings offer preliminary support for a new imagery-focused treatment approach. They also indicate a step in treatment innovation without the requirement for trials […]
Following instructions in a virtual school depends on working memory
Some children are much better than others at carrying out instructions, but why? Working memory – the capacity for storing information over short periods of time – appears to play an important role. Using a virtual reality environment of a school, a research team headed by Jaroslawska has shown that children with greater working memory […]
