U-shaped Relation between Prestimulus Alpha-band and Poststimulus Gamma-band Power in Temporal Tactile Perception in the Human Somatosensory Cortex

Published in: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2018, 552-564 Abstract “Neuronal oscillations are a ubiquitous phenomenon in the human nervous system. Alpha-band oscillations (8–12 Hz) have been shown to correlate negatively with attention and performance, whereas gamma-band oscillations (40–150 Hz) correlate positively. Here, we studied the relation between prestimulus alpha-band power and […]

Cortico-cerebellar Networks Drive Sensorimotor Learning in Speech

Published in: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2018, 540-551 Abstract “The motor cortex and cerebellum are thought to be critical for learning and maintaining motor behaviors. Here we use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to test the role of the motor cortex and cerebellum in sensorimotor learning in speech. During productions of
