LinkBrain Science Flight, Piloting to a New Height!
Using Japanese macaques, a team led by Prof. Nambu of the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, the National Institute of Natural Sciences, has demonstrated how the basal ganglia transmit motor information when a person performs a movement to reach a target by a signal.
Using Rhesus macaque, a collaborative study has revealed that the mesoaccumbal pathway in primates is critical for high-effort motivation, but not for all forms of reinforcement-based learning.
Jessica Taylor from ATR and her colleagues have shown that the mere background presence of predator odors, which may be innately associated with threat via evolutionary processes, can enhance the formation of human fear memories.
We aim to provide a step-by-step guide to address some of the most common methodological and analytical considerations for decoded neurofeedback.
