Decoding Neural Representational Spaces Using Multivariate Pattern Analysis
TL;DR: This article reviews the development of methods for decoding human neural activity, such as multivariate pattern classification, representational similarity analysis, hyperalignment, and stimulus-model-based encoding and decoding, into a common framework organized around the concept of high-dimensional representational spaces.

Abstract: A major challenge for systems neuroscience is to break the neural code. Computational algorithms for encoding information into neural activity and extracting information from measured activity afford understanding of how percepts, memories, thought, and knowledge are represented in patterns of brain activity. The past decade and a half has seen significant advances in the development of methods for decoding human neural activity, such as multivariate pattern classification, representational similarity analysis, hyperalignment, and stimulus-model-based encoding and decoding. This article reviews these advances and integrates neural decoding methods into a common framework organized around the concept of high-dimensional representational spaces.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that, at the level of brain activity measurable by fMRI, valence is flexibly implemented across instances by a set of valence-general limbic and paralimbic brain regions is supported.

The Theory and Practice of Discourse Parsing and Summarization
Daniel Marcu
- 13 Nov 2000
TL;DR: MIT CogNet is an important new venture that brings together many different resources for the cognitive and brain sciences and bypasses the slow and expensive efforts in the commercial publishing world by bringing information directly to researchers and students.
Coupling Mechanism and Significance of the BOLD Signal: A Status Report
TL;DR: It is proposed that previously overlooked involvement of the vascular endothelium may provide a more complete picture of how blood flow is controlled in the brain, noting relevance to both stimulus-evoked and resting-state fMRI studies.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that imposed task states can alter the correlation structure of BOLD activity, and it is found that observations of "dynamic" BOLD correlations during the resting state are largely explained by sampling variability.

TL;DR: High generalization ability of support-vector networks utilizing polynomial input transformations is demonstrated and the performance of the support- vector network is compared to various classical learning algorithms that all took part in a benchmark study of Optical Character Recognition.

Self-Organizing Maps
Teuvo Kohonen
- 01 Jan 1995
TL;DR: The Self-Organising Map (SOM) algorithm was introduced by the author in 1981 as mentioned in this paper, and many applications form one of the major approaches to the contemporary artificial neural networks field, and new technologies have already been based on it.

Self-organized formation of topologically correct feature maps
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a self-organizing system in which the signal representations are automatically mapped onto a set of output responses in such a way that the responses acquire the same topological order as that of the primary events.

The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception
TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.

TL;DR: The functional architecture of the object vision pathway in the human brain was investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure patterns of response in ventral temporal cortex while subjects viewed faces, cats, five categories of man-made objects, and nonsense pictures, and a distinct pattern of response was found for each stimulus category.
