TL;DR: Decoding and information theoretic techniques were used to analyze the predictions that can be made from functional magnetic resonance neuroimaging data on individual trials, finding that subjective pleasantness produced by warm and cold applied to the hand could be predicted on single trials with typically in the range 60-80% correct.

TL;DR: The author has worked on some of the investigations described here with P. Azzopardi, G. C. Hasselmo, C. M. Leonard, T. I. Perrett, S. Stringer, M. J. Tovee, A. Treves, and G. Wallis.

TL;DR: Componential Granger causality not only can reveal the directionality of effects between areas, but also allows the mechanisms to be understood in terms of whether the causal influence of one system on another depends on the state of the system being causally influenced.

TL;DR: Investigations in non-human primates have provided evidence that the lateral hypothalamus and adjoining substantia innominata are involved in the control of feeding, for there is a population of neurons in these regions which respond to the sight and/or taste of food if the organism is hungry.

TL;DR: It is shown that the short-term memory for a sequence of items can be implemented in an autoassociation neural network and uses adaptation rather than associative synaptic modification to recall the order of the items in a recently presented sequence.
