Regional Brain Activation Associated with Different Performance Patterns during Learning of a Complex Motor Skill
Joseph I. Tracy,Adam E. Flanders,Saussan Madi,Joseph Laskas,Eve Stoddard,Ayis Pyrros,Peter Natale,Nicole Delvecchio +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the same brain structures remain involved throughout the different stages of learning and a form of adaptation occurs, or a new functional circuit is formed with some structures dropping off and others joining.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging analysis of attention to one's heartbeat.
Joseph I. Tracy,Nitin Goyal,Adam E. Flanders,Richard Weening,Joseph Laskas,Peter Natale,Brigid Waldron +6 more
TL;DR: The finding suggests that the parietal cortex plays a central role in an interoceptive attention system that monitors bodily states, and may be taking advantage of monitoring skills typically utilized for vigilance to the external environment.

The brain's response to incidental intruded words during focal text processing.
Joseph I. Tracy,Adam E. Flanders,Saaussan Madi,Peter Natale,Nicole Delvecchio,Ayis Pyrros,Joseph Laskas +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the intruded words did make contact with word-level lexical but not necessarily semantic structures in the middle temporal region, and attention processing, not semantic processing, changes best characterized the brain activation unique to the intruding words.

The brain topography associated with active reversal and suppression of an ambiguous figure
Joseph I. Tracy,Adam E. Flanders,Saaussan Madi,Peter Natale,Nitin Goyal,Joseph Laskas,Nicole Delvecchio,Ayis Pyrros +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an ambiguous Necker cube and two versions that stabilised the cube were used as stimulation in a blocked-design fMRI study to capture regions crucial to expected, deliberate shifts in perceptual states and compare these to regions associated with suppression of such shifts.

Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis and Staging
TL;DR: This unit presents a basic protocol for detecting and staging ovarian cancer, similar to those used for general imaging of the liver/abdomen and the pelvis for other applications.
