Fractals in Action: An fMRI study on the Generation of new Hierarchical Levels in Motor Sequences

2017-12-14

Abstract excerpt

Generation of hierarchical structures, such as the embedding of subordinate elements into larger structures, is a core feature of human cognition. Discrimination of well-formed hierarchies is thought to rely on lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC). However, the brain bases underlying the active generation of new hierarchical levels remain poorly understood. Here, we created a new motor paradigm to isolate this activ...
