The P300 as a marker of waning attention and error propensity
(2007)Action errors can occur when routine responses are triggered inappropriately by familiar cues. Here, EEG was recorded as volunteers performed a ?go/no-go? task of long duration that occasionally and unexpectedly required ... -
Paired associative transcranial alternating current stimulation increases the excitability of corticospinal projections in humans
(2015)Many types of non-invasive brain stimulation alter corticospinal excitability (CSE). Paired associative stimulation (PAS) has attracted particular attention as its effects ostensibly adhere to Hebbian principles of neural ... -
A paramatric manipulation of central executive functioning
(Oxford University Press, 2000)The central executive is both an important and poorly understood construct that is invoked in current theoretical models of human cognition and in various dysexecutive clinical syndromes. We report a task designed to isolate ... -
A pattern recognition approach to the detection of single-trial event-related fMRI.
(IFMBE, 2004)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) is an imaging technique for determining which regions of the brain are activated in response to a stimulus or event. Early FMRI experiment paradigms were based upon those ... -
Patterns of normal human brain plasticity and their implications for neurorehabilitation.
(Elsevier, 2006)Patterns of normal human brain plasticity after practice and their implications for neurorehabilitation. -
People think about what is true for conditionals, not what is false: only true possibilities prime the comprehension of "if"
(2009)We report the results of two priming experiments that examine the comprehension of conditionals--for example, "if there are apples then there are oranges"--and biconditionals--for example, "if and only if there are apples ... -
Perceptual and social attributes underlining age-related preferences for faces
(2016)Although aesthetic preferences are known to be important in person perception and can play a significant role in everyday social decisions, the effect of the age of the observer on aesthetic preferences for faces of different ... -
Periconceptional folic acid supplementation in a nationally representative sample of Irish mothers
(Irish Medical Association, 2012-07)This study reports recent trends in periconceptional folic acid use in Ireland using archived data from Growing Up in Ireland ? the National Longitudinal Study of Children. Of a sample of 10,891 mothers, 6,936 (64%) reported ... -
A phenotypic structure and neural correlates of compulsive behaviors in adolescents.
(2013)BACKGROUND: A compulsivity spectrum has been hypothesized to exist across Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD), Eating Disorders (ED), substance abuse (SA) and binge-drinking (BD). The objective was to examine the validity ... -
Place Cells: Knowing Where You Are Depends on Knowing Where You're Heading
(2017)Knowing where you are and knowing where you are heading are both necessary for navigation. Does knowing where you are depend on knowing where you are heading, or is it the other way around? A new study suggests that knowing ... -
Point-prevalence of depression and associated risk factors
(2014)The study aimed to assess levels of depressive symptoms and associated risk factors in a sample of students in Bogotá, Colombia. A convenient sample (N = 254) of students at the University Antonio Nariño, Bogotá was invited ... -
Policies and Processes for Social Inclusion: Using EquiFrame and EquIPP for Policy Dialogue Comment on "Are Sexual and Reproductive Health Policies Designed for All? Vulnerable Groups in Policy Documents of Four European Countries and Their Involvement in Policy Development".
(2015)The application of EquiFrame in the analysis of sexual and reproductive health policies by Ivanova et al to a new thematic area, their selection of only some of the Core Concepts of human rights in health service provision ... -
Positive association of video game playing with left frontal cortical thickness in adolescents.
(2014)Playing video games is a common recreational activity of adolescents. Recent research associated frequent video game playing with improvements in cognitive functions. Improvements in cognition have been related to grey ... -
Post-error behaviour in active cocaine users: poor awareness of errors in the presence of intact performance adjustments.
(Nature, 2007)Active cocaine abusers have a diminished neural response to errors, particularly in the anterior cingulate cortex thought critical to error processing. The inability to detect, or adjust performance following errors has ... -
Precis of The Rational Imagination: How People Create Alternatives to Reality
(2007)The human imagination remains one of the last uncharted terrains of the mind. People often imagine how events might have turned out ?if only? something had been different. The ?fault lines? of reality, those aspects more ... -
Predicting development of adolescent drinking behaviour from whole brain structure at 14 years of age
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2019)Adolescence is a common time for initiation of alcohol use and development of alcohol use disorders. The present study investigates neuroanatomical predictors for trajectories of future alcohol use based on a novel voxel-wise ... -
Predicting success: The effect of pre-target cueing on inhibition performance.
(MIT Press, 2004)The present study investigated the relationships between attention and other preparatory processes prior to a response inhibition task and the processes involved in the inhibition itself. To achieve this, a mixed ...
