The effect of foreign language in fear acquisition
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Emotions are at the core of human nature. There is evidence that emotional reactivity in foreign languages compared to native languages is reduced. We explore whether this emotional distance could modulate fear conditioning, ...
Exploring Different Types of Inhibition During Bilingual Language Production
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
Multilinguals have to control their languages constantly to produce accurate verbal output. They have to inhibit possible lexical competitors not only from the target language, but also from non-target languages. Bilinguals’ ...
Theta oscillations mediate preactivation of highly expected word initial phonemes
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental neurocognitive mechanism. However, its role in language comprehension is currently under debate. In this magnetoencephalography study we aimed to find evidence of word-form ...
MultiPic: A standardized set of 750 drawings with norms for six European languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)
Numerous studies in psychology, cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics have used pictures of objects as stimulus
materials. Currently, authors engaged in cross-linguistic work or wishing to run parallel studies at ...
Effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment on the Event-Related Brain Potential Components Elicited in Executive Control Tasks
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
We summarize here the findings of several studies in which we analyzed the eventrelated
brain potentials (ERPs) elicited in participants with mild cognitive impairment
(MCI) and in healthy controls during performance of ...
Simulations to benchmark time-varying connectivity methods for fMRI
(PLOS Computational Biology, 2018)
There is a current interest in quantifying time-varying connectivity (TVC) based on neuroimaging data such as fMRI. Many methods have been proposed, and are being applied, revealing new insight into the brain’s dynamics. ...
How the human brain introspects about one's own episodes of cognitive control
(cortex, 2018)
Metacognition refers to our capacity to reflect upon our experiences, thoughts and actions. Metacognition processes are linked to cognitive control functions that allow keeping our actions on-task. But it is unclear how ...
Meaning-based attentional guidance as a function of foveal and task-related cognitive loads
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
The depth of parafoveal word processing depends on the amount of cognitive resources available. Whether this principle applies to the parafoveal semantic processing of multiple words remains, however, controversial. This ...
A Statistically Representative Atlas for Mapping Neuronal Circuits in the Drosophila Adult Brain
(Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2018)
Imaging the expression patterns of reporter constructs is a powerful tool to dissect the neuronal circuits of perception and behavior in the adult brain of Drosophila, one of the major models for studying brain functions. ...
