At the current stage, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) represent a promising technology for communication and control of assistive devices as well as for the clinical motor rehabilitation after a stroke. Current BCI systems may be divided in two main typol ...
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that allows a user to communicate with the environment only through cerebral activity, without using muscular output channels. To establish a direct link between the brain and a computer, the electroencephalogra ...
Visual search is a good illustration about how the brain coordinates a variety of functions such as visual clues extraction from the scene, coordination of the eye-movements, accumu- lation of visual information and visual recognition. It has an important ...
Behavioral and brain responses to identical stimuli can vary with experimental and task parameters, including the context of stimulus presentation or attention. More surprisingly, computational models suggest that noise-related random fluctuations in brain ...
Flankers can strongly deteriorate performance on a visual target (crowding). For example, vernier offset discrimination strongly deteriorates when neighbouring flankers are presented. Interestingly, performance for longer and shorter flankers is better tha ...

Oscillations have been increasingly recognized as a core property of neural responses that contribute to spontaneous, induced, and evoked activities within and between individual neurons and neural ensembles. They are considered as a prominent mechanism fo ...
Discriminating complex sounds relies on multiple stages of differential brain activity. The specific roles of these stages and their links to perception were the focus of the present study. We presented 250 ms duration sounds of living and man-made objects ...
We have previously shown that beta-band EEG activity is related to attentional modulation in the visual system of cats and humans. In a separate experiment we also observed that some elderly subjects expressed beta-band power decreases during a simple visu ...
Neuroimaging studies typically compare experimental conditions using average brain responses, thereby overlooking the stimulus-related information conveyed by distributed spatio-temporal patterns of single-trial responses. Here, we take advantage of this r ...
Olfactory perception is a complex phenomenon associated with other processes such as cognition and emotion. Due to this complexity, there are still open issues and challenges regarding olfactory psychophysiology. One challenge concerns the investigation of ...
