In recent years, several computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been proposed for an early identification of dementia. Although these approaches mostly used the transformation data into a different feature space, more precise information can be gained from Searchlight strategy. The current study presents fusion classification system that employs magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neuropsychological tests to distinguish between Mild-Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients convert...
Human performance is endowed by neural representations of information that relevant for behavior, some which are also activated in a preparatory fashion to optimize later execution. Most studies date have focused on highly practiced actions, leaving largely unaddressed the novel re-configuration generate unique whole task-sets. Using electroencephalography (EEG), this study investigated dynamics content and geometry reflected patterns control during information. We designed verbal...
Abstract Selective attention has the potential to enhance initial processing of objects, their spatial locations, or constituent features. The present study shows that this capacity modulate stages also applies linguistic attributes. A cueing paradigm focused at different levels word representations on a trial-by-trial basis time course attentional modulation visual by means high-density electrophysiology recording system. Attention attributes modulated components related semantic,...
The emotions displayed by others can be cues to predict their behavior. Happy expressions are usually linked positive consequences, whereas angry faces associated with probable negative outcomes. However, there situations in which the expectations we generate do not hold. Here, control mechanisms must put place. We designed an interpersonal game participants received good or bad economic offers from several partners. A cue indicated whether emotion of partner could trusted not. Trustworthy...
The present study tested how social information about the proposer biases responders' choices of accepting or rejecting real monetary offers in a classic ultimatum game (UG) and whether this impact is heightened by uncertainty context. Participants our conducted one-shot UG which their responses had direct consequences on much money they earned. We used trait-valenced words to provide proposers' personal characteristics. results show higher acceptance rates for preceded positive than those...
In the present study we employed electrophysiological recordings to investigate levels of processing at which positive and negative descriptions other people bias social decision-making in a game participants accepted or rejected economic offers. Besides information, manipulated fairness assets distribution, whether offers were advantageous not for participant uncertainty context. Results show that description interaction partner enhanced medial frontal negativity (MFN) an additive manner...
Proactive cognition brain models are mainstream nowadays. Within these, preparation is understood as an endogenous, top-down function that takes place prior to the actual perception of a stimulus and improves subsequent behavior. Neuroimaging has shown existence such preparatory activity separately in different cognitive domains, however no research date sought uncover their potential similarities differences. Two often confounded literature, Selective Attention (information relevance)...
The success of humans in novel environments is partially supported by our ability to implement new task procedures via instructions. This complex skill has been associated with the activity control-related brain areas. Current models link fronto-parietal and cingulo-opercular networks transient sustained modes cognitive control, based on observations during repetitive settings or rest. current study extends this dual model instructed tasks. We employed a mixed design an instruction-following...
Recent multivariate analyses of brain data have boosted our understanding the organizational principles that shape neural coding. However, most this progress has focused on perceptual visual regions (Connolly et al., 2012), whereas far less is known about organization more abstract, action-oriented representations. In study, we humans' remarkable ability to turn novel instructions into actions. While previous research shows instruction encoding tightly linked proactive activations in...
We investigated the dependence of visual word processes on attention by examining event-related potential (ERP) responses as subjects viewed words while their was engaged a concurrent highly demanding task. used paradigm from previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment [Rees, G., Russel, C., Frith, C. D., & Driver, J. Inattentional blindness vs. inattentional amnesia for fixated but ignored words. Science, 286, 2504-2506, 1999] in which participants attended either to...
Understanding the role that social cues have on interpersonal choice, and their susceptibility to contextual effects, is of core importance models decision-making. Language, other hand, one main means communication during interactions in our culture. The present experiments tested whether positive negative linguistic descriptions alleged partners a modified Ultimatum Game biased decisions made same set offers, uncertainty game modulated this biasing effect. results showed an uncertain...
