Information Shielding Through Neural Deactivation: A Fundamental Mechanism of Human Information Processing

2025-02-05

Abstract excerpt

Information processing is a core issue in cognitive neuroscience. The brain can either accept or shield information. However, information shielding has traditionally been regarded as a byproduct of other cognitive processes that prepare brain areas for activation, with the accompanying brain deactivation seen as merely supportive. Here, we offer an alternative perspective, demonstrating that people can directly pe...
