    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Coincidences; surprise; paranormal belief; parapsychology; telepathy; associative processing; probabilistic reasoning; Ganzfeld; associative learning; automatic processing; controlled processing; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis it is argued that coincidences play an important role in the formation of belief, including belief in the paranormal. Three papers are presented. READ MORE

  4. 2. Dopamine and the affective-cognitive gradient in the human striatum studied with multimodal brain imaging

    Author : Filip Grill; Anna Rieckmann; Lars Nyberg; Alison Adcock; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dopamine; striatum; incentive; motor; associative; reinforcement learning; reward prediction error; positron emission tomography; functional magnetic resonance imaging; PET MR; cognitive modelling;

    Abstract : Both dopamine and the dopamine rich brain area, striatum, have been linked to behaviors related to incentives, motor action, and associative processing. Most of the cortex sends projections to the striatum, these connections have been described as a gradient organization representing a repertoire of functional behaviors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Information processing in the Striatum : a computational study

    Author : Johannes Hjorth; Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; Anders Lansner; Kim Blackwell; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; striatum; fast spiking interneuron; gap junctions; synchronisation; up-state detection; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia form an important structure centrally placed in the brain. They receive input from motor, associative and limbic areas, and produce output mainly to the thalamus and the brain stem. The basal ganglia have been implied in cognitive and motor functions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regimented language training : Changes to brain and behaviour following intensive non-native language learning

    Author : Johan Mårtensson; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cortical thickness; Hippocampus; Plasticity; Language acquisition; Associative memory; Transfer; Education;

    Abstract : The influence of foreign-language acquisition on adult brain structure remains mostly unexplored. Whilst several cross-sectional studies have led to further understanding of how language can affect brain structure, only a few longitudinal studies have been conducted. READ MORE

  7. 5. Simple principles of cognitive computation with distributed representations

    Author : Blerim Emruli; Serge Thill; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industriell elektronik; Industrial Electronics;

    Abstract : Brains and computers represent and process sensory information in different ways. Bridgingthat gap is essential for managing and exploiting the deluge of unprocessed andcomplex data in modern information systems. READ MORE
