Unification and confirmation
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
According to the traditional requirement, formulated by William Whewell in his account of the “consilience of inductions” in 1840, a scientific hypothesis should have unifying power in the sense that it explains and predicts ...
Propaganda and democracy
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
We are surrounded by communication of many kinds whose aim is to persuade rather to convince, tomanipulare rather than to reason. Advertising and much public discourse is like this. How should we react to this fact? Perhaps ...
Philosophy and ideology
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
¿Qué significa para un filósofo analítico hacer crítica de la ideología? ¿En qué medida son útiles las herramientas propias de la filosofía analítica cuando se trata de pensar sobre la ideología, y en qué sentido de "útiles", ...
The Anatomy of Non-conscious Recognition Memory
(Trends in Neusciences, 2016)
Cortical regions as early as primary
visual cortex have been implicated
in recognition memory. Here, we
outline the challenges that this
presents for neurobiological
accounts of recognition memory.
We conclude that ...
Breaking Down the Bilingual Cost in Speech Production
(Cognitive Science, 2016)
Bilinguals have been shown to perform worse than monolinguals in a variety of verbal tasks. This
study investigated this bilingual verbal cost in a large-scale picture-naming study conducted in Spanish.
We explored how ...
Foreign-accented speech modulates linguistic anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)
Listeners are able to anticipate upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and, as a result, they also pre-activate semantically related words. In the present study, we aim at exploring whether these anticipatory ...
Fast and sequence-adaptive whole-brain segmentation using parametric Bayesian modeling
(NeuroImage, 2016)
Quantitative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain requires accurate automated segmentation of anatomical structures. A desirable feature for such segmentation methods is to be robust against ...
The effects of motivational reward on the pathological attentional blink following right hemisphere stroke
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)
Recent work has shown that attentional deficits following stroke can be modulated by motivational stimulation, particularly anticipated monetary reward. Here we examined the effects of anticipated reward on the pathological ...
Semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects and preview benefits in reading: Evidence from Fixation Related Potentials
(Brain and Language, 2016)
During reading parafoveal information can affect the processing of the word currently fixated (parafovea-on-fovea effect) and words perceived parafoveally can facilitate their subsequent processing when they are fixated ...
Sleep in children triggers rapid reorganization of memory-related brain processes
(NeuroImage, 2016)
Behavioral evidence shows that sleep is crucial for the consolidation of declarative memories in children as in adults. However, the underlying cerebral mechanisms remain virtually unexplored. Using magnetoencephalography, ...
