Abstract The McGurk effect is a compelling illusion in which humans auditorily perceive mismatched audiovisual speech as completely different syllable. In this study evidences are provided that professional musicians not subject to illusion, possibly because of their finer auditory or attentional abilities. 80 healthy age-matched graduate students volunteered the study. 40 were Brescia Luca Marenzio Conservatory Music with at least 8–13 years musical academic studies. /la/, /da/, /ta/, /ga/,...
Abstract The massive presence of plastic in the oceans, both form large debris and micro-plastic, is raising global concern due to its severe effects on marine environment fauna, causing loss biodiversity potentially threatening human health. Even though this poor waste management, great production consumption single-use a significant exacerbating factor. Despite policies bans can be effective measures, there also need raise consumers’ awareness, so they make more sustainable choices when...
Explicit and implicit responses to food beverage are known be modulated by expectations generated contextual factors. Among these, labelling regarding the country of origin has been systematically shown impact on consumers' evaluations products. However, it is not clear yet whether presence biases also affects humans' physiological (i.e., implicit) responses, as well different conditions sensory appreciation products equally influenced. The present preliminary study investigated...
Patients suffering from Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN) fail to pay attention to, respond and report sensory events occurring in the contralesional side of space. The traditional neuropsychological assessment USN is based on paper-and-pencil tests, whose data recording scoring may be subjected human error. utilization technological devices can expected improve USN. Therefore, we built Neurit.Space, a modified digital version three widely used detect signs USN, namely: Bells Cancellation,...
Research shows that reduced exposure to natural contexts is associated with an increase in psychophysical disorders. Recent evidence suggests even a brief experience scenarios can positively affect people's health and well-being. However, are not always easily accessible. This study investigates the effects of indoor virtual environments (VREs) on psychophysiological cognitive responses. Following within-subject design, 34 healthy participants were exposed two VREs (i.e., forest living room)...
Humans are the only species capable of experiencing pleasure from esthetic stimuli, such as art and music. Neuroimaging evidence suggests that left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a critical role in judgments, both music visual art. In last decade, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been increasingly employed to shed light on causal different regions contributing appreciation. Experiment #1, musician (N = 20) non-musician participants were required judge musical stimuli...
