This study uses MEG to investigate when and where modality-independent semantic representations emerge for images and words during encoding tasks.

This study shows that whole-night gentle rocking improves sleep quality and efficiency in individuals with insomnia complaints.

The paper examines how neural responses to external and internal signals shift during different REM sleep states, finding increased internal signal processing in phasic REM.

The paper introduces geometric measures to analyze temporal changes in neural representations, showing they reveal dynamics not captured by traditional decoding methods.

This study assesses the impact of pulse artifacts on evoked potentials during wakefulness and sleep using two preprocessing pipelines in healthy volunteers.

This study examines how cardiac-locked auditory stimulation affects pupil and neural dynamics, finding that synchronous cardio-auditory sequences lead to pupil adaptation and increased EEG activity.

iSleep tracks binocular pupil dynamics during sleep and anesthesia, revealing correlations with brain activity and enabling state prediction and nociception monitoring.

The paper investigates how the brain and heart respond to auditory and cardio-audio regularities during wakefulness and sleep, finding that unexpected sound omissions elicit cardiac and neural surprise responses.

This study shows that roughness in screams enhances neural processing during sleep and wakefulness, increasing sleep spindle activity and response reliability.

This study investigates how emotional memories are consolidated during sleep using intracranial EEG in epileptic patients, finding enhanced slow-oscillation and spindle activity in response to emotional stimuli.

This study shows that cognitive exertion reduces sensitivity to medium and high pain ratings in both self and others, with implications for healthcare professionals under workload.

This study links interindividual differences in aversion to rough sounds with neural excitability at 40 Hz, showing correlations with anxiety levels and suggesting 40 Hz sounds as neuromarkers for conditions like autism and schizophrenia.

The paper examines how NREM sleep stages alter large-scale brain network dynamics using EEG-fMRI data, revealing changes in network integration and communication.

This study shows that acute physical exercise improves motor sequence memory, with high intensity exercise having a significant effect, and this is linked to increased anandamide levels and brain activity.

This study shows that motor imagery during arm immobilization prevents sensorimotor representation changes, reduces cortical excitability loss, and increases REM sleep duration.

This study investigates the relationship between fear in dreams and emotional responses during wakefulness, finding that more fear in dreams correlates with reduced fear responses in specific brain regions during wakefulness.

This study shows that moderate-intensity acute exercise improves memory consolidation in humans through increased BDNF and endocannabinoid (AEA) levels, enhancing hippocampal activity and long-term memory performance.

A study shows that limiting screen device use after 9 pm improves sleep onset, duration, and daytime vigilance in adolescents, with genetic factors influencing the effect.
