Neural Correlates of Auditory Perceptual Awareness and Release from Informational Masking Recorded Directly from Human Cortex: A Case Study
(Frontiers Media, 2016)In complex acoustic environments, even salient supra-threshold sounds sometimes go unperceived, a phenomenon known as informational masking. The neural basis of informational masking (and its release) has not been well ... -
Neural Correlates of Chronic Low Back Pain Measured by Arterial Spin Labeling
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011)Background The varying nature of chronic pain (CP) is difficult to correlate to neural activity using typical functional magnetic resonance imaging methods. Arterial spin labeling is a perfusion-based imaging technique ... -
Neural Correlates of Consciousness in Humans
(Nature Publishing Group, 2002)The directness and vivid quality of conscious experience belies the complexity of the underlying neural mechanisms, which remain incompletely understood. Recent work has focused on identifying the brain structures and ... -
Neural Correlates of Cross-Modal Recognition Memory by 8-Month-Old Human Infants
(American Psychological Association (APA), 1993)Examined the neural correlates of cross-modal recognition memory in 8-mo-old infants by using ERPs. Testing began by having all Ss feel (but not see) an object for 60 sec. Test trials then followed. Infants in Condition 1 ... -
Neural correlates of dueling affective reactions to win–win choices
(National Academy of Sciences, 2014)Win-win choices cause anxiety, often more so than decisions lacking the opportunity for a highly desired outcome. These anxious feelings can paradoxically co-occur with positive feelings, raising important implications for ... -
Neural Correlates of Infants’ Visual Responsiveness to Facial Expressions of Emotion
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996)An extensive literature documents the infant's ability to recognize and discriminate a variety of facial expressions of emotion. However, little is known about the neural bases of this ability. To examine the neural processes ... -
Neural correlates of reexperiencing, avoidance, and dissociation in PTSD: Symptom dimensions and emotion dysregulation in responses to script-driven trauma imagery
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)Research suggests that responses to script-driven trauma imagery in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) include reexperiencing and dissociative symptom subtypes. This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study ... -
Neural Correlates of Subliminal Language Processing
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Language is a high-level cognitive function, so exploring the neural correlates of unconscious language processing is essential for understanding the limits of unconscious processing in general. The results of several ... -
Neural Correlates of Successful and Unsuccessful Verbal Memory Encoding
(Elsevier BV, 2002-03)Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that episodic memory encoding involves a network of neocortical structures which may act interdependently with medial temporal lobe (mTL) structures to promote the formation of durable ... -
Neural Encoding of Acupuncture Needling Sensations: Evidence from a fMRI Study
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)Deqi response, a psychophysical response characterized by a spectrum of different needling sensations, is essential for Chinese acupuncture clinical efficacy. Previous neuroimaging research works have investigated the ... -
Neural markers of errors as endophenotypes in neuropsychiatric disorders
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Learning from errors is fundamental to adaptive human behavior. It requires detecting errors, evaluating what went wrong, and adjusting behavior accordingly. These dynamic adjustments are at the heart of behavioral flexibility ... -
A Neural Mechanism for Nonconscious Activation of Conditioned Placebo and Nocebo Responses
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Fundamental aspects of human behavior operate outside of conscious awareness. Yet, theories of conditioned responses in humans, such as placebo and nocebo effects on pain, have a strong emphasis on conscious recognition ... -
Neural Mechanisms of Mechanosensation Within the Body
(2018-05-15)The ability to detect mechanical forces plays a critical role in organism behavior and physiology. One of the fundamental means by which we interact with our environment is through touch, which includes the ability to sense ... -
Neural mechanisms supporting evaluation of others’ errors in real-life like conditions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)The ability to evaluate others’ errors makes it possible to learn from their mistakes without the need for first-hand trial-and-error experiences. Here, we compared functional magnetic resonance imaging activation to ... -
Neural Mechanisms Underlying Musical Pitch Perception and Clinical Applications Including Developmental Dyslexia
(2017-10-03)Music production and perception invoke a complex set of cognitive functions that rely on the integration of sensorimotor, cognitive, and emotional pathways. Pitch is a fundamental perceptual attribute of sound and a building ... -
Neural Plasticity in Common Forms of Chronic Headaches
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)Headaches are universal experiences and among the most common disorders. While headache may be physiological in the acute setting, it can become a pathological and persistent condition. The mechanisms underlying the ... -
Neural population dynamics in human motor cortex during movements in people with ALS
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2015)The prevailing view of motor cortex holds that motor cortical neural activity represents muscle or movement parameters. However, recent studies in non-human primates have shown that neural activity does not simply represent ... -
Neural population partitioning and a concurrent brain-machine interface for sequential motor function
(2012)While brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have largely focused on performing single-targeted movements, many natural tasks involve planning a complete sequence of such movements before execution. For these tasks, a BMI that ... -
Neural Processing of Facial Identity and Emotion in Infants at High-Risk for Autism Spectrum Disorders
(Frontiers Media SA, 2013)Deficits in face processing and social impairment are core characteristics of autism spectrum disorder. The present work examined 7-month-old infants at high-risk for developing autism and typically developing controls at ... -
Neural Processing of Repetition and Non-Repetition Grammars in 7- and 9-Month-Old Infants
(Frontiers Media SA, 2011)An essential aspect of infant language development involves the extraction of meaningful information from a continuous stream of auditory input. Studies have identified early abilities to differentiate auditory input ...
