Behavioural and electrophysiological modulations induced by transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease patients: A pilot study
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)
Objective
To investigate whether anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modify cognitive performance and neural activity in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients.
Metho ...
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ...
Self-bias and the emotionality of foreign languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)
Foreign language contexts impose a relative psychological and emotional distance in bilinguals. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that the use of a foreign language changes the strength of the seemingly automatic ...
No “Self” Advantage for Audiovisual Speech Aftereffects
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
Although the default state of the world is that we see and hear other people talking, there is evidence that seeing and hearing ourselves rather than someone else may lead to visual (i.e., lip-read) or auditory “self” ...
Predictions as a window into learning: Anticipatory fixation offsets carry more information about environmental statistics than reactive stimulus-responses
(Journal of Vision, 2019)
A core question underlying neurobiological and computational models of behavior is how individuals learn environmental statistics and use them to make predictions. Most investigations of this issue have relied on reactive ...
Morphological processing in the brain: The good (inflection), the bad (derivation) and the ugly (compounding)
(Cortex, 2019)
There is considerable behavioral evidence that morphologically complex words such as ‘tax-able’ and ‘kiss-es’ are processed and represented combinatorially. In other words, they are decomposed into their constituents ‘tax’ ...
Do alternating-color words facilitate reading aloud text in Chinese? Evidence with developing and adult readers
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)
Prior research has shown that colors induce perceptual grouping and, hence, colors can be used as word dividers during reading (Pinna & Deiana, 2014). This issue is particularly important for those writing systems that do ...
All-in-One Gel-Based Electrochromic Devices: Strengths and Recent Developments
(MDPI, 2018-03-10)
Electrochromic devices (ECDs) have aroused great interest because of their potential
applicability in displays and smart systems, including windows, rearview mirrors, and helmet
visors. In the last decades, different ...
Movement Kinematics Dynamically Modulates the Rolandic ~ 20-Hz Rhythm During Goal-Directed Executed and Observed Hand Actions
(Brain Topography, 2018)
This study investigates whether movement kinematics modulates similarly the rolandic α and β rhythm amplitude during executed and observed goal-directed hand movements. It also assesses if this modulation relates to the ...
Recalibration of vocal affect by a dynamic face
(Experimental Brain Research, 2018)
Perception of vocal affect is influenced by the concurrent sight of an emotional face. We demonstrate that the sight of an emotional face also can induce recalibration of vocal affect. Participants were exposed to videos ...
