The Phenomenology of “Pure” Consciousness as Reported by an Experienced Meditator of the Tibetan Buddhist Karma Kagyu Tradition. Analysis of Interview Content Concerning Different... by Cyril Costines, Tilmann Lhündrup Borghardt, Marc Wittmann

“…A philosopher and a cognitive neuroscientist conversed with Buddhist lama Tilmann Lhündrup Borghardt (TLB) about the unresolved phenomenological concerns and logical questions surrounding “pure” consciousness or minimal phenomenal experience (MPE), a quasi-contentless, non-dual state whose phenomenology of “emptiness” is often described in terms of the phenomenal quality of luminosity that experienced meditators have reported occurs in deep meditative states. …”

Overcoming the phenomenological Perpetuum mobile in clinical cognitive neuroscience for the benefit of replicability in research and the societal view on mental disorders by Christian Beste, Christian Beste

“…This article outlines why it is important that cognitive neuroscientists re-shape their role in mental health research and re-define directions of research for the next decades. …”

Using developmental cognitive neuroscience to study behavioral and attentional control. by Astle, D, Scerif, G

“…The current review addresses the extent to which developmentalists and adult cognitive neuroscientists have tapped this common ground. Some very elegant investigations illustrate how seemingly common processes in adulthood present as separable in childhood, on the basis of their distinctive developmental trajectories. …”

Functional role of the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas. by Nachev, P, Kennard, C, Husain, M

“…In recent years, these areas have come under increasing scrutiny from cognitive neuroscientists, motor physiologists and clinicians because they seem to be crucial for linking cognition to action. …”

The multisensory perception of flavour by Spence, C

“…Eating and drinking are among life's most pleasurable activities and among the most multisensory as well. However, cognitive neuroscientists have only recently come to realise that their insights, derived from studies of the multisensory integration of auditory, visual and tactile stimuli, can be extended to help explain flavour perception. …”

Rhythm and Time in Music Epitomize the Temporal Dynamics of Human Communicative Behavior: The Broad Implications of London's Trinity by Peter E. Keller

“…Thus, the distinction between endogenously and exogenously driven mechanisms of perceptual organization, the active nature of perception, and the presence of multiple time scales are topics that also concern experimental psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists. London’s argument that these three issues play a crucial role in the perception of rhythm and timing implies that they should be considered collectively when attempting to understand diverse communicative acts.…”

Under the mind's hood: what we have learned by watching the brain at work by Van Ede, F, De Ozorio Nobre, K

“…This is the challenge faced by cognitive neuroscientists worldwide aiming to understand the neural bases of our psychological functions. …”

Good old-fashioned ethnography of laboratory by Łukasz Afeltowicz

“…As the author shows, cognitive neuroscientists utilizing fMRI declare that they study the embodied mind; yet, in practice, they reduce the body to the brain, and cognition – to purely internal processes. …”

Disciplinary Differences Between Cognitive Psychology and Mathematics Education: A Developmental Disconnection Syndrome by Daniel B. Berch

“…As the participants in this collaborative exercise who are mathematics education researchers espouse a cognitive perspective, it is not surprising that there were few genuine disagreements between them and the psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists during the process of generating a consensual research agenda. …”

Assessing the role of the ‘unity assumption’ on multisensory integration: A review by Chen, Y, Spence, C

“…There has been longstanding interest from both experimental psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists in the potential modulatory role of various top-down factors on multisensory integration/perception in humans. …”

An internationally standardised antisaccade protocol. by Antoniades, C, Ettinger, U, Gaymard, B, Gilchrist, I, Kristjánsson, A, Kennard, C, John Leigh, R, Noorani, I, Pouget, P, Smyrnis, N, Tarnowski, A, Zee, D, Carpenter, R

“…Detailed measurements of saccadic latency--the time taken to make an eye movement to a suddenly-presented visual target--have proved a valuable source of detailed and quantitative information in a wide range of neurological conditions, as well as shedding light on the mechanisms of decision, currently of intense interest to cognitive neuroscientists. However, there is no doubt that more complex oculomotor tasks, and in particular the antisaccade task in which a participant must make a saccade in the opposite direction to the target, are potentially more sensitive indicators of neurological dysfunction, particularly in neurodegenerative conditions. …”

Spatial Cognition and Three-Dimensional Vertical Urban Design Guidelines—Cognitive Measurement and Modelling for Human Centre Design by Hee Sun Choi, Gerhard Bruyns, Wang Zhang, Tian Cheng, Saijal Sharma

“…The aim is to create a foundation for further studies in this field that is consistent and rigorous and can facilitate collaboration with cognitive neuroscientists by establishing a shared conceptual basis. …”

Decoding the infant mind: Multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) using fNIRS. by Lauren L Emberson, Benjamin D Zinszer, Rajeev D S Raizada, Richard N Aslin

“…The MRI environment restricts the types of populations and tasks that can be studied by cognitive neuroscientists (e.g., young infants, face-to-face communication). …”

Attending to the chemical senses by Spence, C

“…Thus far, the chemical senses have received far less research interest (or should that be attention) from those experimental psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists interested in the topic. Nevertheless, this review highlights the key role that attentional selection also plays in chemosensory information processing and awareness. …”

MOUTH-WATERING: THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND COGNITIVE FACTORS ON SALIVATION AND GUSTATORY/FLAVOR PERCEPTION by Spence, C

“…Indeed, it is striking how rarely salivation is mentioned by cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists when studying gustatory and/or multisensory flavor perception. …”

The multisensory design of pharmaceuticals and their packaging by Spence, C

“…The multisensory design of pharmaceuticals and their packaging therefore constitutes a particularly intriguing, not to mention important, applied area for food/sensory scientists, marketing researchers, and cognitive neuroscientists.…”

How automatic are crossmodal correspondences? by Spence, C, Deroy, O

“…The last couple of years have seen a rapid growth of interest (especially amongst cognitive psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and developmental researchers) in the study of crossmodal correspondences - the tendency for our brains (not to mention the brains of other species) to preferentially associate certain features or dimensions of stimuli across the senses. …”

What multiplexing means for the interpretation of functional MRI data by Cheryl A. Olman

“…Despite technology advances that have enabled routine acquisition of functional MRI data with sub-millimeter resolution, the inferences that cognitive neuroscientists must make to link fMRI data to behavior are complicated. …”
