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 ...
Cortico-cerebellar Networks Drive Sensorimotor Learning in Speech
Published in:Â 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 ...
Evidence for the use of three-way binding structures in associative and source recognition
Published in:Â Journal of Memory and Language, Volume 100, June 2018, 89-97 Abstract "Avoiding interference among similar memory traces may be helped by forming complex memory structures that include multiple components of the event. In a laboratory setting, these structures have ...
When embodiment breaks down: Language deficits as novel avenues into movement disorders
Published in: Cortex, Volume 100, March 2018, 1-7 Editorial Brief "If cognition is broadly shaped by an interplay of embodied mechanisms (Barsalou, 1999; Gallese & Lakoff, 2005; Gentsch, Weber, Synofzik, Vosgerau, & Schutz-Bosbach, 2016; Pulvermüller, 2005; Zwaan, 2014), then cognitive ...
Sensory Cortex Is Nonessential in Working Memory Storage
Published in: Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 3, 192-193 Abstract "Despite the initial supporting evidence and the popularity of the sensory account of visual working memory (VWM) storage, the overwhelming negative evidence presented in my review [1] and ...
