Combining language and space: Sentence bisection in unilateral spatial neglect

In line bisection right-brain-damaged patients with left spatial neglect show a rightward deviation, with respect to the line's physical center. In word bisection ortho-phonological features of the stimulus' final (right-sided) part modulate performance of ...

Tuning In to Sound: Frequency-Selective Attentional Filter in Human Primary Auditory Cortex

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Stephanie Clarke

Cocktail parties, busy streets, and other noisy environments pose a difficult challenge to the auditory system: how to focus attention on selected sounds while ignoring others? Neurons of primary auditory cortex, many of which are sharply tuned to sound fr ...

The Contributions of Sensory Dominance and Attentional Bias to Cross-modal Enhancement of Visual Cortex Excitability

Micah Murray

Approaching or looming sounds (L-sounds) have been shown to selectively increase visual cortex excitability [Romei, V., Murray, M. M., Cappe, C., & Thut, G. Preperceptual and stimulus-selective enhancement of low-level human visual cortex excitability by s ...

Dynamic reconfiguration of human brain functional networks through neurofeedback

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Frank Scharnowski, Rotem Roza Kopel

Recent fMRI studies demonstrated that functional connectivity is altered following cognitive tasks (e.g., learning) or due to various neurological disorders. We tested whether real-time fMRI-based neurofeedback can be a tool to voluntarily reconfigure brai ...

The human vestibular cortex revealed by coordinate-based activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis

Olaf Blanke, Fred Mast, Christophe Lopez

The vestibular system contributes to the control of posture and eye movements and is also involved in various cognitive functions including spatial navigation and memory. These functions are subtended by projections to a vestibular cortex, whose exact loca ...

Auditory perceptual decision-making based on semantic categorization of environmental sounds

Fosco Bernasconi, Athina Tzovara

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 ...

Implementing a Cocktail-party Processor via Time-frequency Masking

Benedikt Fasel, Tao-Chun Lee

The ability of human auditory systems to focus on one signal and ignore other signals in an auditory scene where several auditory events are taking place, often referred to as cocktail-party effect, is a key to localization of sound sources. This ability i ...

Human Primary Auditory Cortex Follows the Shape of Heschl's Gyrus

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Stephanie Clarke

The primary auditory cortex (PAC) is central to human auditory abilities, yet its location in the brain remains unclear. We measured the two largest tonotopic subfields of PAC (hA1 and hR) using high-resolution functional MRI at 7 T relative to the underly ...

Noise in brain activity engenders perception and influences discrimination sensitivity

Fosco Bernasconi, Athina Tzovara

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 ...

Learning-induced plasticity in human audition: objects, time, and space

Fosco Bernasconi, Stephanie Clarke

The human auditory system is comprised of specialized but interacting anatomic and functional pathways encoding object, spatial, and temporal information. We review how learning-induced plasticity manifests along these pathways and to what extent there are ...
