Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “This view suggests that human brain is proactive in predicting the state of the outside world and so the incoming sensory signals; the received sensory signals, in turn, provide sensory evidence to verify the predictions (e.g., Friston, 2005; Bar, 2007; Friston et al., 2015; Kok and de Lange, 2015).”
IM2GPS: estimating geographic information from a single image (2008, background): “Yet, there is mounting evidence in cognitive science that data association (ask not “What is it?” but rather “What is it like?”) may play a significant role as well [1].”
Varieties of cognitive penetration in visual perception. (2014, positive): “We will just mention two of them, but there are several other models that fit within out framework (e.g. Bar, 2007; Gilbert & Sigman, 2007; Summerfield & Egner, 2009).”
The Default Network and Social Cognition (2015, background): “Regions throughout this subsystem become engaged when individuals view objects with a strong contextual association (Bar, 2007) and/or use associative conceptual knowledge to guide decision-making (Kumaran, Summerfield, Hassabis, & Maguire, 2009).”
Remembering the past to imagine the future: the prospective brain (2007, positive): “Given the adaptive priority of future planning, we find it helpful to think of the brain as a fundamentally prospective organ that is designed to use information from the past and the present to generate predictions about the future 43–45 .”
Functional-Anatomic Fractionation of the Brain's Default Network (2010, positive): “Some have suggested a role for components of the default network in scene construction (Hassabis and Maguire, 2007), contextual associations (Bar, 2007), and conceptual processing (Binder et al., 2009).”
Does Mind Wandering Reflect Executive Function or Executive Failure? Comment on and (2010, background): “Bar (2007; Bar, Aminoff, Mason, & Fenske, 2007) had similarly attributed self-projection to the default network, but he also described the processes by which selfprojection occurs and suggests a reason for their representing a default mode of activity. Default-mode processes run continuously in resp”
Why the Global Availability of Mind Wandering Necessitates Resource Competition: Reply to McVay and Kane (2010) (2010, background): “After all, given its role in prospection or self-projection (Bar, 2008; Buckner et al., 2008; Buckner & Carroll, 2007; Schacter, Addis, & Buckner, 2008), the default systems goals of today are the executive goals of tomorrow, and the intermittent conscious awareness of such goals when they become av”
Consequences of the Now-or-Never bottleneck for signed versus spoken languages (2015, methodology): “Third, to facilitate speedy chunking and hierarchical compression, the cognitive system employs anticipation, using prior information to constrain the recoding of current perceptual input (for reviews see Bar 2007; Clark 2013).”
The proactive brain: memory for predictions (2009, background): “…of an immediate context, MPC/RSC contains prototypical representations for typical contexts (e.g. kitchen, theatre, beach) including general but diagnostic information on each, and the MPFC uses this associative information to generate predictions (Bar 2007; Bar et al. 2007; Aminoff et al. 2008).”
Contributions of episodic retrieval and mentalizing to autobiographical thought: evidence from functional neuroimaging, resting-state connectivity, and fMRI meta-analyses (2014, background): “, 2007), associative prediction (Bar, 2007; 2009), mentalizing (Schilbach et al.”
1 On what it means to see , and what we can do about it (2008, positive): “…areas in the occipital lobe and the high-level areas in the temporal and parietal lobes (Rolls and Deco, 2001), and the frontal lobe, the visual functions of which include exerting contextual influence on the interpretation of the viewed scene (Bar, 2004) and active vision or foresight (Bar, 2007).”
Merging second-person and first-person neuroscience (2013, neutral): “& Baron-Cohen, S. (2009) Genes related to sex steroids, neural growth, and social-emotional behavior are associated with autistic”
The Visual System's Internal Model of the World (2015, background): “…hierarchical architecture of the biological visual system and share many fundamental characteristics, they represent different perspectives how the internal model can be learned and used for inference, and in my opinion, each capturing or emphasizing certain elements of the reality of the brain.”
