”Cognovisor” for the human brain: Towards mapping of thought processes by a combination of fMRI and eye-tracking

Abstract

The aim of this work was to describe localization of active brain of different types of thinking—spatial and verbal. The method of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used. Seven right-handed healthy volunteers aged from 19 to 30 participated in the experiment. In the experiment, the subject was brought against 6 types of tasks (about 30 of each type) distributed from the figurative to the semantic thought. The results obtained in the statistical parametric and covariance analysis is that interactions of neural networks that are activated to perform the categorization of mental tasks are different. This makes it possible to use this approach to develop a model of “Cognovisor”.
