A Causal and Dissociable Role for the Right Inferior Prefrontal Cortex in Empathy for Physical and Social Pain

Martina De Lillo, Ayanna Korpal, Heather Jane Ferguson, Andrew Kenneth Martin

This study uses f-tDCS to show that rIFG modulates empathy for physical and social pain differently, while dmPFC does not, suggesting distinct roles in empathy processing.

Limits on prediction in language comprehension: A multi-lab failure to replicate evidence for probabilistic pre-activation of phonology

Mante S. Nieuwland, Stephen Politzer‐Ahles, Evelien Heyselaar, Katrien Segaert, Emily Darley, Nina Kazanina, Sarah Von Grebmer Zu Wolfsthurn, Federica Bartolozzi, Vita V. Kogan, Aine Ito, Diane Caroline Mézière, Dale J. Barr, Guillaume A. Rousselet, Heather Jane Ferguson, Simon Busch‐Moreno, , Falk Huettig

This paper reports a multi-lab failure to replicate the original finding of probabilistic phonological pre-activation in language comprehension, showing no significant article-N400 cloze effect but a significant noun-N400 effect.
