Abstract:

During the current grant, considerable progress was made in relating fMRI-measured activation during high-level spatial thinking to the properties of the cognitive architecture in three areas 1 empirical studies of fMR-imaging during various types of spatial thinking, 2 developments of methodological tools for fMRI research, and 3 development of a theory and a computational modeling system to relate cognitive processing to the underlying large-scale cortical networks.
