What is the color of chocolate? - extracting color values of semantic expressions

Sabine Süsstrunk, Albrecht Johannes Lindner

We present a statistical framework to automatically determine an associated color for a given arbitrary semantic expression. The expression can not only be a color name but any word or character string. In addition to the color value, we are also able to c ...

Self-motion holds a special status in visual processing

Roy Salomon

Agency plays an important role in self-recognition from motion. Here, we investigated whether our own movements benefit from preferential processing even when the task is unrelated to self-recognition, and does not involve agency judgments. Participants se ...

Learning under stress: a role for the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Reto Bisaz, Lisa Conboy

Stress is known to be a potent modulator of brain function and cognition. While prolonged and/or excessive stress generally exerts negative effects on learning and memory processes, acute stress can have differential effects on memory function depending on ...

Perseveration in left spatial neglect: drawing and cancellation tasks

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

Perseveration in target cancellation tasks and in drawing by copy and from memory was investigated in 21 right-brain-damaged patients, seven with no evidence of left visuo-spatial neglect, and 14 with neglect. Eight such neglect patients showed perseverati ...

Stress and memory: behavioral effects and neurobiological mechanisms

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Stress is a potent modulator of learning and memory processes. Although there have been a few attempts in the literature to explain the diversity of effects (including facilitating, impairing, and lack of effects) described for the impact of stress on memo ...

Dissociation of sustained attention from central executive functions: local activity and interregional connectivity in the theta range

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

Human brain oscillatory activity was analysed in the electroencephalographic theta frequency range (4-7 Hz) while subjects executed complex sequential finger movements with varying task difficulty and memory load. Local frontal-midline theta activity was a ...

Brain energy metabolism in Alzheimer's disease: 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT imaging during verbal fluency and role of astrocytes in the cellular mechanism of 99mTc-HMPAO retention

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Ludwig, Luc Pellerin

The central hypothesis of the study which has been carried out as part of the NRP38 program, is that perturbations of brain energy metabolism are critically involved in the neurodegeneration occurring in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and that they may correlate ...

Increased focal interictal discharges during specific cognitive tasks

Olaf Blanke

We present a patient with pharmacoresistant right temporal lobe epilepsy who showed a significant increase in focal interictal spikes in response to specific visuospatial tasks, Temporal spiking was particularly increased during immediate recall of visuosp ...
