Effects of item distinctiveness on the retrieval of objects and object-location bindings from visual working memory

Visual working memory (VWM) is prone to interference from stored items competing for its limited capacity. Distinctiveness or similarity of the items is acknowledged to affect this competition, such that poor item distinctiveness causes a failure to discri ...

Inquiring the librarian about the location of memory

Gabriel Berdugo Vega

Where memories are stored in the brain is an age-old question in psychology and neuroscience alike. In particular, whether hippocampus-encoded memories are transferred to the cortex or remain hippocampus-dependent over time has not been definitely answered ...

The influence of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation over the right auditory cortex on interference effects in memory for melodies

Steffen Alexander Herff

The study investigates how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the auditory cortex (AC) modulates memory for melodies under different noise conditions, whilst also considering cumulative disruptive interference effects. Forty-one participan ...

The Impact of Voice Leading and Harmony on Musical Expectancy

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Robert Lieck

In Western tonal music, voice leading (VL) and harmony are two central concepts influencing whether a musical sequence is perceived as well-formed. However, experimental studies have primarily focused on the effect of harmony on the cognitive processing of ...

TbCAPs: A toolbox for co-activation pattern analysis

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Constantin Tuleasca, Herberto Dhanis Pedro De Barros Camacho, Elenor Morgenroth, Farnaz Delavari, Eva Blondiaux, Baptiste Gauthier, Gwladys Rey, Lukasz Dawid Smigielski, Julian Gaviria

Functional magnetic resonance imaging provides rich spatio-temporal data of human brain activity during task and rest. Many recent efforts have focussed on characterising dynamics of brain activity. One notable instance is co-activation pattern (CAP) analy ...

P300 in the park: feasibility of online data acquisition and integration in a Mobile Brain/Body Imaging setting

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Elena Galeasso

In the last years Mobile Brain/Body Imaging (MoBI) has been increasingly used to study cognition in the real world to give more ecological validity to brain imaging studies currently carried out only inside the lab. To increase portability of the setup and ...

Stability of working memory in continuous attractor networks under the control of short-term plasticity

Wulfram Gerstner, Alexander Kevin Seeholzer, Moritz Deger

Continuous attractor models of working-memory store continuous-valued information in continuous state-spaces, but are sensitive to noise processes that degrade memory retention. Short-term synaptic plasticity of recurrent synapses has previously been shown ...

In the pursuit of the fear engram: identification of neuronal circuits underlying the treatment of anxiety disorder

Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Fear and other anxiety disorders are extraordinarily robust and difficult to treat. Among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders are exposure-based therapies, during which a patient is repeatedly confronted with the originally fear-eliciting s ...

Can Fitness Trackers Help Diabetic and Obese Users Make and Sustain Lifestyle Changes?

Pearl Pu Faltings, Yu Chen

Diabetic and obese users given a Fitbit fitness tracker for seven months identified the device's playfulness, practicality, persuasiveness, personalization, and privacy as the top motivators for its use. These results provide insights into designing wearab ...

Lactate release from astrocytes to neurons contributes to cocaine memory formation

Pierre Magistretti, Benjamin Boutrel, Benjamin Boury-Jamot

The identification of neural substrates underlying the long lasting debilitating impact of drug cues is critical for developing novel therapeutic tools. Metabolic coupling has long been considered a key mechanism through which astrocytes and neurons active ...

Stress and cognition

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Stress can affect cognition in many ways, with the outcome (i.e., facilitating or impairing) depending on a combination of factors related to both stress and the cognitive function under study. Among the factors identified as particularly relevant to defin ...

Electrical neuroimaging of memory discrimination based on single-trial multisensory learning

Micah Murray, Antonia Thelen

Multisensory experiences influence subsequent memory performance and brain responses. Studies have thus far concentrated on semantically congruent pairings, leaving unresolved the influence of stimulus pairing and memory sub-types. Here, we paired images w ...

Encoding of Marginal Utility across Time in the Human Brain

Marginal utility theory prescribes the relationship between the objective property of the magnitude of rewards and their subjective value. Despite its pervasive influence, however, there is remarkably little direct empirical evidence for such a theory of v ...

Spatial learning and navigation in the rat : a biomimetic model

Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano

Animals behave in different ways depending on the specific task they are required to solve. In certain cases, if a cue marks the goal location, they can rely on simple stimulusresponse associations. In contrast, other tasks require the animal to be endowed ...
