Effects of aperiodic neural activity on sleep-based emotional memory consolidation across the lifespan

This study examines how age-related changes in aperiodic neural activity and NREM oscillations affect emotional memory consolidation during sleep across the lifespan.

Slow oscillation-spindle coupling predicts sequence-based language learning

This study finds that slow oscillation-spindle coupling during sleep predicts better sequence-based language learning and is linked to memory consolidation and theta activity.

Predictive influences on memory encoding: investigating oscillations and the N400 event-related potential component

The paper reanalyzes data to explore how prediction and memory encoding relate, finding that memory encoding may occur independently of prediction error and that individual differences in neural activity affect this relationship.

EEG and behavioral correlates of attentional processing while walking and navigating naturalistic environments

This study examines attentional processing during walking and navigation in natural environments using EEG, finding differences in neural responses compared to lab settings.

Increasing objective cardiometabolic burden associated with attenuations in the P3b event-related potential component in older adults

This study finds that higher cardiometabolic burden in older adults is associated with reduced P3b ERP amplitude during working memory tasks.

Temporal expectations modulate face image repetition suppression as indexed by event-related potentials

The paper investigates how temporal expectations affect face image repetition suppression using event-related potentials, finding differing effects on early and late response components.

Alpha Oscillations Prior to Encoding Preferentially Modulate Memory Consolidation during Wake Relative to Sleep

The paper investigates how pre-encoding alpha oscillations affect memory consolidation during wake versus sleep, finding that higher alpha power during wake enhances memory retention.

Perceptual Expectations Do Not Modulate Image Repetition Effects As Measured By Event-Related Potentials

The paper investigates whether perceptual expectations modulate image repetition effects using ERPs and finds no statistical interaction between repetition effects and expectations.
