Expectation suppression across sensory modalitites: a MEG investigation
(2022-03-29)
In the last few decades, a lot of research focus has been to understand how the human brain generates expectation about the incoming sensory responses and how it deals with surprise or unpredictable input. It is evident ...
Neural correlates of impulse control disorder in Parkinson,s Disease: FMRI evidence from motor, inhibition and semantic domains.
(2022-05-16)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder associated with aging. Approximately 40% of the PD patients treated with dopaminergic medication will develop Impulse Control Disorder (ICD). ...
Human thalamocortical connections and their involvement in language systems.
(2022-09-30)
During evolution the expansion of the neocortex has been linked with the emergence of higher level cognitive functions, such as reasoning, abstract thinking, or language in human beings. Current research on cognitive ...
The Influence of Literacy on Speech. The Orthographic Consistency Effect in Auditory Language Perception and Language Production
(2022-10-06)
The present thesis presents a series of experiments that explore of the Orthographic Consistency Effect (OCE) in auditory language perception and production. The OCE is a psycholinguistic effect that shows a facilitation ...
Assessing the representation of seen and unseen contents in human brains and deep artificial networks
(2022-11-26)
The functional scope of unconscious visual information processing and its implementation in the human brain remains a highly contested issue in cognitive neuroscience. The influential global workspace and higher-order ...
Magnocellular and parvocellular visual pathways, involvement in reading. Examination of developmental trajectories, visual cortex regions and reading circuitries
(2022-05-23)
The magnocellular and parvocellular systems are major visual recognition pathways, with distinct histological and physiological properties. Despite their critical role, there is limited evidence on the specific contributions ...
