Fronto-parietal evoked potential synchronization is increased during mental rotation.

We used steady state visually evoked potential event related partial coherence (SSVEP-ERPC) to examine the SSVEP synchronization between brain regions while 22 males undertook a sequential version of the Shepard and Metzler mental rotation task. Compared ...

Neurophysiological correlates of memory for experienced and imagined events.

Changes in slow cortical potentials within EEG were monitored while autobiographical memories of experienced and imagined event were generated and then held in mind for a short period. The generation of both kinds of memory led to significantly larger ...

Visual object and face processing in mild-to-moderate Alzheimers disease: from segmentation to imagination.

Little is known about the fate of higher level visual perception and visual mental imagery in the early stages of Alzheimers disease (AD). In this study, we assessed these abilities in a group of mild-to-moderate AD patients using tasks selected to ...

Non-identical neural mechanisms for two types of mental transformation: event-related potentials during mental rotation and mental paper folding.

Reaction times, accuracy and 128-channel event-related potentials (ERPs) were measured from 14 normal, right-handed subjects while they performed two different parity-judgment tasks that require transformations of mental images: a relatively simple task ...

Modulation of motor cortex excitability in the left hemisphere during action observation: a single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation study of self- and non-self-action observation.

Motor system excitability was tested by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and F-wave and H-reflex evaluation in different action observation tasks. Our aim was to investigate the effects produced by self- versus non-self-hand movement observation ...

A Lacanian explanation of Karons and Villemoess successful psychodynamic approaches to schizophrenia.

In this article I use Lacans early theory of schizophrenia as corrected by the School of Leuven. Early in his career Lacan argued that schizophrenic people have a defective relation to language. Vergote and several of his students--all from Leuven--point ...

Ego-structuring psychotherapy.

Psychoanalysis regards psychosis as an early disturbance in the development of the personality, specifically, of the ego. The disturbance occurs during that period prior to the castration complex and thus before the phase when the ordering of relations ...

Misremembering pictured objects: people of all ages demonstrate the boundary extension illusion.

In the boundary extension illusion, subjects recollect more of a photographed scene than was originally shown. In this study, first- and fifth-grade children, young adult college students, and older adults studied 4 one-object or 4 two-object picture ...

Visual event-related potentials during movement imagery and the dipole analysis.

Visual event-related potentials during an oddball paradigm with movement imagery tasks were recorded in 10 right-handed subjects from 32 scalp electrodes. Rare targets and non-targets elicited early (P3e) and late (P31) P300 components. In the P3e there ...

Aging and effect of predictability on reality monitoring.

This study compared the direction of source confusions and the effect of predictability on reality monitoring for internally generated information and externally derived information in younger (mean age 19-25) and older (mean age 70-85) adults. ...
