Effect of prewhitening in resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy data
(Neurophotonics, 2018)
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers the potential to characterize resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in populations that are not easily assessed otherwise, such as young infants. In addition to the advantages ...
Dorsal anterior cingulate-brainstem ensemble as a reinforcement meta-learner
(PLOS Computational Biology, 2018)
Optimal decision-making is based on integrating information from several dimensions of decisional space (e.g., reward expectation, cost estimation, effort exertion). Despite considerable empirical and theoretical efforts, ...
Statistical Speech Segmentation in Tone Languages: The Role of Lexical Tones
(Language and Speech, 2018)
Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For
example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation
of speech based on transitional ...
When Grammar and Parsing Agree

Improving the signal detection accuracy of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(NeuroImage, 2018)
A major drawback of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) concerns the lack of detection accuracy of the measured signal. Although this limitation stems in part from the neuro-vascular nature of the fMRI signal, it ...
