Top-down beta oscillatory signaling conveys behavioral context in early visual cortex.
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current ‘task at hand’ by conveying ...
Inhibitory Control for Emotional and Neutral Scenes in Competition: An Eye-Tracking Study in Bipolar Disorder
(Biological Psychology, 2017)
This study examined the inhibitory control of attention to social scenes in manic, depressive, and euthymic episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Two scenes were simultaneously presented (happy/threatening/neutral [target] ...
Is Bilingualism Associated With Enhanced Executive Functioning in Adults? A Meta-Analytic Review
(Psychological Bulletin, 2018)
Because of enduring experience of managing two languages, bilinguals have been argued to develop superior executive functioning compared with monolinguals. Despite extensive investigation, there is, however, no consensus ...
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. ...
