No association of the BDNF val66met polymorphism with implicit associative vocabulary and motor learning

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been suggested to play a major role in plasticity, neurogenesis and learning in the adult brain. The BDNF gene contains a common val66met polymorphism associated with decreased activity-dependent excretion of BD ...

Visual and spatial modulation of tactile extinction: behavioural and electrophysiological evidence

Roberta Ronchi, Giuseppe Vallar

Crossing the hands over the midline reduces left tactile extinction to double simultaneous stimulation in right-brain-damaged patients, suggesting that spatial attentional biases toward the ipsilesional (right) side of space contribute to the patients' con ...

Games with Hypotheses: Color, Text and Texture

Sabine Süsstrunk

An online memory matching game is used to explore the collective performance for stimulus sets varying in color, text and texture. The game is a consistent five wide by four high array of 70 by 70 pixels squares for a total of eleven unique test pairs. Use ...

The dynamics of perceptual decision making

Johannes Rüter

Decisions about noisy stimuli require evidence integration over time. Traditionally, evidence integration and decision making are described as a one-stage process: a decision is made when evidence for the presence of a stimulus crosses a threshold. However ...

Models of Evidence Integration in Rapid Decision Making Processes

Nicolas Marcille

Decision making is of crucial interest in many disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, economics and machine learning. Binary perceptual decision theories relate to situations where an observer (or machine) is confronted with one of two possible nois ...

Learning under stress: the inverted-U-shape function revisited

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Basira Salehi

Although the relationship between stress intensity and memory function is generally believed to follow an inverted-U-shaped curve, strikingly this phenomenon has not been demonstrated under the same experimental conditions. We investigated this phenomenon ...

Non-Rigid Consistent Registration of 2D Image Sequences

Philippe Thévenaz

We present a novel algorithm for the registration of 2D image sequences that combines the principles of multiresolution B-spline-based elastic registration and those of bidirectional consistent registration. In our method, consecutive triples of images are ...

Impaired Imagery for Upper Limbs

Olaf Blanke

The brain processes associated with mental imagery have long been a matter of debate. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies have yielded diverging evidence of mental transformation activating the right hemisphere, the left hemisphere, or both. Here, ...

Subjective mental time: the functional architecture of projecting the self to past and future

Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta

Human experience takes place in the line of mental time (MT) created through 'self-projection' of oneself to different time-points in the past or future. Here we manipulated self-projection in MT not only with respect to one's life events but also with res ...

The mental time line: an analogue of the mental number line in the mapping of life events

Olaf Blanke

A crucial aspect of the human mind is the ability to project the self along the time line to past and future. It has been argued that such self-projection is essential to re-experience past experiences and predict future events. In-depth analysis of a nove ...
