test brain activation patterns in people given time to practice their lies to see if this measure can reliably discern truthful words from prepared hogwash.
The computational model uses a set of 42 concept - level semantic features and six markers of the concepts» roles in the sentence, such as agent or action, to
identify brain activation patterns in English.
In different experiments we will examine the effects of exogenous (intranasal oxytocin) and endogenous (providing social support) oxytocin on fear and reward

Using functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), Kessler Foundation researchers have shown
differential brain activation patterns between people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls.
Author Alice Ely, now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego, had already studied how women's brains respond to images of fatty foods on an empty and full stomach and found that both their hunger status and dieting history did
influence brain activation patterns.
Deficient orthographic and phonological representations in children with dyslexia revealed by brain activation patterns
«Recent research in cognitive science, using MRI's, has revealed the actual shift in
brain activation patterns as untrained math facts are learned» (Delazer et al., 2003).
Additionally the functional effects of DBS will be explored in several ways 1) we will look at changes
in brain activation patterns in response to specific tasks by means of functional MRI 2) we will look at the striatal D2 binding using [123I] IBZM SPECT 3) we will look at neuropsychological functioning using cognitive tasks.
By using a machine - learning algorithm, the research team was able to understand the relationship between sentence meaning and
brain activation patterns in English and then recognize sentence meaning based on activation patterns in Portuguese.

brain activation patterns,» said lead investigator Michelle C. Carlson, PhD, associate professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of Mental Health and Center on Aging and Health.
«We attribute the differences in
brain activation patterns to the effort expended during the working memory task rather than to differences in speed of processing,» he added.
