  2. Neural correlates of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_correlates_of...

    The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) are the minimal set of neuronal events and mechanisms sufficient for the occurrence of the mental states to which they are related. [2] Neuroscientists use empirical approaches to discover neural correlates of subjective phenomena; that is, neural changes which necessarily and regularly correlate ...

  3. Somatic marker hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_marker_hypothesis

    For instance, when a somatic marker associated with a positive outcome is perceived, the person may feel happy and thereby motivated to pursue that behavior. When a somatic marker associated with the negative outcome is perceived, the person may feel sad, which acts as an internal alarm to warn the individual to avoid that course of action.

  4. Neuroscience and intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_and_intelligence

    The specific regions that show the most robust correlation between volume and intelligence are the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes of the brain. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ] A large number of studies have been conducted with uniformly positive correlations, leading to the generally safe conclusion that larger brains predict greater intelligence.

  5. Emotion and memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_and_memory

    Thus, findings that participants' memory for negative non-arousing words suffers with divided attention, [39] and that the memory advantage for negative, non-arousing words can be eliminated when participants encode items while simultaneously performing a secondary task, [40] has supported the elaborative processing hypothesis as the mechanism ...

  6. Emotion perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_perception

    Emotion perception refers to the capacities and abilities of recognizing and identifying emotions in others, in addition to biological and physiological processes involved. . Emotions are typically viewed as having three components: subjective experience, physical changes, and cognitive appraisal; emotion perception is the ability to make accurate decisions about another's subjective ...

  7. Contingent negative variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contingent_negative_variation

    The readiness potential is the neural preparation for motoric responses. Both components have a similar scalp distribution with a negative amplitude and are associated with a motor response. In fact, many researchers claimed that the terminal CNV, or E wave, was in fact the readiness potential, or Bereitschaftspotential. This was the general ...

  8. Neural efficiency hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_Efficiency_Hypothesis

    One study found that neural efficiency was influenced by sex and task content. The study tried to examine possible sex differences in human brain functioning. It aimed at investigating the relationship between intelligence and cortical activation during the cognitive performance in various versions of a task, using brain imaging techniques.

  9. Emotion recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_recognition

    Text data is a favorable research object for emotion recognition when it is free and available everywhere in human life. Compare to other types of data, the storage of text data is lighter and easy to compress to the best performance due to the frequent repetition of words and characters in languages.
