Mistaken memories: remembering events that never happened.

Our memories can be accurate, but they are not always accurate. Eyewitness testimony, for example, is notoriously unreliable. Insights into both veridical and false remembering have come from recent investigations of memory distortion. Behavioral ...

Cerebral asymmetry for mental rotation: effects of response hand, handedness and gender.

We assessed lateralization of brain function during mental rotation, measuring the scalp distribution of a 400-600 ms latency event-related potential (ERP) with 128 recording electrodes. Twenty-four subjects, consisting of equal numbers of dextral and ...

Visual neurophysiology: recordings from the human primate.

Neurophysiological studies in human patients, with experiments of the kind traditionally reserved for monkeys, are beginning to provide valuable insight into the workings of the brain. Taking center stage is the question of which neurons lie at the heart ...

The functional significance of ERP effects during mental rotation.

In a parity judgment task, the ERPs at parietal electrode sites become more negative as more mental rotation has to be executed. This article provides a review of the empirical evidence regarding this amplitude modulation. More specifically, experiments ...

A picture is worth a thousand lies: using false photographs to create false childhood memories.

Because image-enhancing technology is readily available, people are frequently exposed to doctored images. However, in prior research on how adults can be led to report false childhood memories, subjects have typically been exposed to personalized and ...

Linear spatial integration for single-trial detection in encephalography.

Conventional analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) often relies on averaging over multiple trials to extract statistically relevant differences between two or more experimental conditions. In this article we ...
