在过去10年左右的时间里，人们对推理的神经基质进行了定期的研究，主要依靠正电子发射断层扫描和功能性磁共振成像。在某种程度上，这些技术和脑电图技术一样，都表明时间进程对于揭示大脑中推理过程的工作方式同样有价值。在这项工作中，我们采用脑磁图，同时调查的前件式（如果P那么Q; P//因此，Q），以同时得出时间过程和这个基本的逻辑推理的来源。目前的研究结果表明，条件推理涉及到几个连续的认知过程，每个过程都涉及到一个不同的大脑网络在推理的过程中，并尽快处理一个条件句。^Brain Mapp，2013. (c)2012 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Characterizing the neural substrate of reasoning has been investigated with regularity over the last 10 years or so while relying on measures that come primarily from positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging. To some extent, these techniquesas well as those from electroencephalographyhave shown that time course is equally worthwhile for revealing the way reasoning processes work in the brain. In this work, we employ magnetoencephalography while investigating Modus Ponens (If P then Q; P//Therefore, Q) in order to simultaneously derive time course and the source of this fundamental logical inference. The present results show that conditional reasoning involves several successive cognitive processes, each of which engages a distinct cerebral network over the course of inference making, and as soon as a conditional sentence is processed.
