Semantic distance differently modulates FPVS-EEG responses to words and pictures

This study uses EEG and FPVS to show that semantic distance affects brain responses differently to words and pictures in healthy subjects.

Concurrent category-selective neural activity across the ventral occipito-temporal cortex supports a non-hierarchical view of human visual recognition

The paper challenges the hierarchical model of visual recognition by showing concurrent category-selective neural activity across the ventral occipito-temporal cortex.

Intracerebral recordings in humans reveal gradual emergence of musical beat representation across the dorsal auditory pathway

The paper uses intracerebral recordings in humans to show that beat representation in music emerges gradually along the dorsal auditory pathway, involving sensory and associative brain regions.

Lexical brain responses in 10-year-old children are impaired in dyslexia: an FPVS-EEG study

This study uses FPVS-EEG to show that 10-year-old children with dyslexia have impaired lexical processing compared to typical readers, as evidenced by atypical brain responses to words and pseudowords.

Word-selective EEG/MEG responses in the English language obtained with Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS)

This study uses FPVS to show robust word-selective EEG/MEG responses in English, even when words are embedded in pseudowords, with left-lateralized patterns observed.

Olfactory-to-visual facilitation in the infant brain declines gradually from 4 to 12 months

The paper shows that the facilitative effect of maternal odor on face categorization in infants decreases from 4 to 12 months, correlating with improved visual processing.

Linguistic and attentional factors -not statistical regularities- contribute to word-selective neural responses with FPVS-oddball paradigms

This study investigates word-selective neural responses using FPVS-oddball paradigms, finding linguistic factors, not statistical regularities, drive these responses, and attentional deployment enhances their amplitude.

Early, color-specific neural responses to object color knowledge

The paper investigates early neural responses to color associations of familiar objects, finding that shape can trigger color-specific responses before actual color processing.

Low and high frequency intracranial neural signals match in the human associative cortex

The paper investigates the relationship between low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) intracranial EEG signals in the human associative cortex using in vivo recordings and finds they have similar spatial and functional properties.

Dissociated face- and word-selective intracerebral responses in the human ventral occipito-temporal cortex

This study compares face- and word-selective neural responses in the human ventral occipito-temporal cortex using intracerebral recordings from 37 patients, finding largely dissociated category-selective activity.

A neural signature of automatic lexical access in bilinguals

This study investigates automatic lexical access in bilinguals using EEG, finding that neural responses to words are influenced by language exposure and word-likeness, with bilinguals showing reduced responses to pseudo-words from their native language.

A robust voice-selective response in the human brain as revealed by electrophysiological recordings and fast periodic auditory stimulation

The paper uses FPAS and EEG to show robust voice-selective brain responses independent of low-level acoustic features, demonstrating automatic voice categorization.

Rapid neural categorization of facelike objects predicts the perceptual awareness of a face (face pareidolia)

The paper uses EEG to show that neural responses to facelike objects predict conscious face perception, with stronger responses in those who report seeing illusory faces.

EEG frequency tagging reveals neural entrainment to people moving in synchrony

The paper uses EEG frequency tagging to show that the brain preferentially entrains to collective movement of human agents, enhancing responses to synchronous motion over individual or image-based motion.

Critical information thresholds underlying concurrent face recognition functions

The paper investigates the sensory thresholds for two face recognition functions—generic and familiar face recognition—and finds that generic recognition requires less sensory input and is more consistent across individuals.

All-or-none visual categorization in the human brain

The paper investigates whether visual categorization is graded or all-or-none in the human brain using EEG and behavioral measures, finding all-or-none responses despite graded neural amplitudes.

Teaching methods shape neural tuning to visual words in beginning readers

The paper shows that global reading instruction leads to right hemisphere activation for word recognition, while phonics instruction activates the left hemisphere, with poor readers relying more on the global method.

Immediate stimulus repetition abolishes stimulus expectation and surprise effects in fast periodic visual oddball designs

The paper investigates how stimulus repetition and expectation interact in visual oddball designs, finding that immediate repetition abolishes expectation effects in EEG responses.

The impact of stimulus size and orientation on individual face decoding in monkey face-selective cortex.

This study investigates how stimulus size and orientation affect face decoding in monkey face-selective cortex, finding that responses are more tolerant to size changes than orientation changes.

Fast Periodic Stimulation (FPS): A Highly Effective Approach In fMRI Brain Mapping

The paper introduces FPS-fMRI, a method that improves signal-to-noise ratio and test-retest reliability in brain mapping by using fast periodic stimulation and Fourier analysis.

A Face Identity Hallucination (Palinopsia) Generated By Intracerebral Stimulation Of The Face-Selective Right Lateral Fusiform Cortex

This paper describes a case where intracerebral stimulation of the right lateral fusiform cortex induces facial identity hallucinations, suggesting its role in individual face representation.

Category-Selective Human Brain Processes Elicited In Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation Streams Are Immune To Temporal Predictability

The paper tests if category-selective neural processes in the human brain are affected by temporal predictability in fast visual streams, finding they are not.

Functional selectivity for face processing in the temporal voice area of early deaf individuals

The paper shows that early deaf individuals exhibit enhanced face processing in the auditory cortex, which typically handles voice processing in hearing people.

The Non-Linear Development Of The Right Hemispheric Specialization For Human Face Perception

The paper investigates how right hemispheric specialization for face perception develops in preschoolers, finding a small correlation between letter knowledge and right hemisphere specialization.
