The effects of alcohol intoxication on neuronal activation at different levels of cognitive load
(Bentham Open, 2008-08-22)
The aim of this study was to investigate how alcohol intoxication at two blood alcohol concentrations (BAC)
affected neuronal activation during increasing levels of cognitive load. For this purpose we used functional ...
Laterality across languages: Results from a global dichotic listening study using a smartphone application
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01-14)
Left-hemispheric language dominance has been suggested by observations in patients with brain damages as early as the 19th century, and has since been confirmed by modern behavioural and brain imaging techniques. Nevertheless, ...
Seeing shapes and hearing textures: Two neural categories of touch
(Bentham Open, 2011-04-07)
Touching for shape recognition has been shown to activate occipital areas in addition to somatosensory areas.
In this study we asked if this combination of somatosensory and other sensory processing areas also exist in ...
Children with dyslexia show cortical hyperactivation in response to increasing literacy processing demands
(Frontiers, 2014-12-22)
This fMRI study aimed to examine how differences in literacy processing demands may affect cortical activation patterns in 11- to 12-year-old children with dyslexia as compared to children with typical reading skills. ...
How brain asymmetry relates to performance – a large-scale dichotic listening study
(Frontiers, 2014-01-02)
All major mental functions including language, spatial and emotional processing are lateralized but how strongly and to which hemisphere is subject to inter- and intraindividual variation. Relatively little, however, is ...
A synthesis of evidence on inhibitory control and auditory hallucinations based on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework
(Frontiers, 2014-03-26)
The National Institute of Mental Health initiative called the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project aims to provide a new approach to understanding mental illness grounded in the fundamental domains of human behavior and ...
Impact of glutamate levels on neuronal response and cognitive abilities in schizophrenia
(Elsevier, 2014-04-02)
Schizophrenia is characterized by impaired cognitive functioning, and brain regions involved in cognitive control processes show marked glutamatergic abnormalities. However, it is presently unclear whether aberrant neuronal ...
Self-supervised, mobile-application based cognitive training of auditory attention: A behavioral and fMRI evaluation
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
Emerging evidence of the validity of collecting data in natural settings using smartphone applications has opened new possibilities for psychological assessment, treatment, and research. In this study we explored the ...
Functional asymmetry and effective connectivity of the auditory system during speech perception is modulated by the place of articulation of the consonant – A 7 T fMRI study
(Frontiers, 2014-06-11)
To differentiate between stop-consonants, the auditory system has to detect subtle place of articulation (PoA) and voice-onset time (VOT) differences between stop-consonants. How this differential processing is represented ...
Assessing brain structural associations with working-memory related brain patterns in schizophrenia and healthy controls using linked independent component analysis
(Elsevier, 2015)
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a psychotic disorder with significant cognitive dysfunction. Abnormal brain activation during cognitive processing has been reported, both in task-positive and task-negative networks. Further, structural ...
