The process of perception requires not only the brain's receipt of sensory data but also the meaningful organization of that data in relation to the perceptual experience held in memory. Although it typically results in a conscious percept, the process of perception is not fully conscious. Research on the neural substrates of human visual perception has suggested that regions of limbic cortex, including the medial orbital frontal cortex (mOFC), may ...
Recognition of the actions of others is critical in warfare environments and may be particularly important during unconventional warfare. It is unclear, however, how a soldier might become expert in action recognition. Here we examined the hypothesis that expertise in action recognition relies on neural systems involved in performing an action. Participants were trained to perform a difficult, bimanual motor action, or a nonmotor action recognition task, for 25 days. ...
