Buffer versus embedded processes accounts of short-term memory (STM) for phonological information were addressed by testing subjects' perception and speech non-speech auditory stimuli. Univariate multivariate (MVPA) approaches used to assess whether brain regions recruited in recognizing involved maintaining representations over a delay. As expected, left superior temporal region was found support perception. However, contrary the approach, this failed show load effect, or any sustained...

Recent work in cognitive neuroscience has focused on analyzing the brain as a network, rather than collection of independent regions. Prior studies taking this approach have found that individual differences degree modularity network relate to performance tasks. However, inconsistent results concerning direction relationship been obtained, with some tasks showing better increases and other worse performance. A recent theoretical model (Chen & Deem, 2015) suggests these inconsistencies may be...

Introduction Sudden road conditions can trigger drivers’ psychological stress, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Music, as an emotion regulation tool, effectively alleviates stress and enhances health. However, effects different genres music on remain understudied. Methods To address this, present study collected 120 EEG recordings from 60 drivers in a standardized simulated driving environment developed classification model based signals to recognize emotions. By integrating...

In cognitive network neuroscience, the connectivity and community structure of brain is related to measures performance, like attention memory. Research in this emerging discipline has largely focused on two – modularity flexibility which, for most part, have been examined isolation. The current project investigates relationship between these how they make separable contribution predicting individual differences performance tasks. Using resting state fMRI data from 52 young adults, we show...

The neural basis of phonological working memory (WM) was investigated through an examination the effects irrelevant speech distractors and disruptive stimulation from transcranial magnetic (TMS). Embedded processes models argue that same regions involved in perception are used to support WM whereas buffer assume a region separate is WM. Thus, according embedded approach but not approach, TMS should disrupt decoding representations. According account, items be possible despite distraction...

Attention is often extolled for its selective neural properties. Yet, when powerfully captured by a salient unexpected event, attention can give rise to broad cascade of systemic effects evaluating and adaptively responding the event. Using graph theory analysis combined with fMRI, we show here that extensive psychophysiological cognitive changes associated such capture are related large-scale distributed in brain's functional connectivity. Novel task-irrelevant "oddball" stimuli presented...

Event Abstract Back to Non-perceptual regions in the left supramarginal gyrus support phonological short-term memory: evidence from lesion-symptom mapping and fMRI studies Qiuhai Yue1, Heather Dial1 Randi Martin1* 1 Rice University, Department of Psychology, United States Phonological memory (pSTM) refers capacity for retaining speech sounds short periods time. The current study evaluated two theories pSTM: buffer account, which proposes a dedicated pSTM store (Baddeley, Lewis, & Vallar,...

Abstract In cognitive network neuroscience, the connectivity and community structure of brain is related to cognition. Much this research has focused on two measures – modularity flexibility which frequently have been examined in isolation. By using resting state fMRI data from 52 young adults, we investigate relationship between modularity, performance tasks. We show that are highly negatively correlated. However, also demonstrate make unique contributions explain task performance, with...
