Electrophysiological and haemodynamic correlates of face perception, recognition and priming.

Face perception, recognition and priming were examined with event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and scalp event-related potentials (ERPs). Face perception was associated with haemodynamic increases in regions including bilateral ...

When mental images are very detailed: image generation and memory performance as a function of age.

Older adults appear to have problems in mental imagery which seem to influence memory, such as in the recall of concrete words. However, the effects of imagery instruction on old participants memory are quite inconsistent (Richardson, 1980; Salthouse, ...

The lateral occipital complex subserves the perceptual persistence of motion-defined groupings.

How are the bits and pieces of retinal information assembled and integrated to form the coherent objects that we see? One long-established principle is that elements that move as a group are linked together. For instance a fragmented line-drawing of an ...

Genes, neurons and codes: remarks on biological communication.

I examine critically the application of information-theoretic ideas to biological communication during embryonic development and in the functioning central nervous system (CNS). I show that intercellular communication relies mostly on simple signals ...

Repetition effects elicited by objects and their contexts: an fMRI study.

Event-related fMRI responses were recorded during a recognition memory test for previously studied visual objects. Some studied objects were superimposed on the same context (landscape scenes) as at study, some were superimposed on a different studied ...

Reasoning about a hidden object after a delay: evidence for robust representations in 5-month-old infants.

The present research examined two alternative interpretations of violation-of-expectation findings that young infants can represent hidden objects. One interpretation is that, when watching an event in which an object becomes hidden behind another ...

Human vestibular memory studied via measurement of the subjective horizontal during gondola centrifugation.

Measurements of the subjective visual horizontal (SVH) were made in a large swing-out gondola centrifuge. Rotation of the centrifuge was anti-clockwise, as seen from above. Test subjects were seated upright in the gondola, facing forwards. In front of ...

Implicit memory varies as a function of hypnotic electroencephalogram stage in surgical patients.

Previous studies have observed a correlation of implicit memory with certain electroencephalogram (EEG) measures during anesthesia. Here, we tested the relationship between hypnotic depth determined by computer system (Narcotrend(TM)) and implicit memory ...

Phonological and visual working memory in mental addition.

The goal of the present research was to examine the role of working memory in mental arithmetic. Adults (n = 96) solved multidigit arithmetic problems (e.g., 52 + 3; 3 + 52) alone and in combination with either a phonological memory load (i.e., nonwords, ...

Effects of the use of alcohol and cigarettes on cognition in elderly African American adults.

In this study we examined the independent and interactive effects of lifetime patterns of drinking and smoking on cognitive performance in elderly African Americans. A sample of 230 individuals with varying histories of alcohol and cigarette use was ...
