Associative Visual Memory in Aphantasia: Evidence for Intact Object and Spatial Memory, Metacognitive Awareness, but Different Strategies

This study investigates associative visual memory in aphantasia, finding intact object and spatial memory, metacognitive awareness, and the use of nonvisual strategies by aphantasics.

Using EEG to Detect Lapses in Sustained Attention to Moving Stimuli

This paper uses EEG and a hierarchical classification method to detect attentional lapses by predicting errors in a visual task based on neural decodability.

Characteristics of vicarious touch reports in a general population

This study investigates vicarious touch experiences in undergraduates, finding high prevalence, gender differences, and strong correlations with video emotional content and arousal.

The validated touch-video database

The paper introduces the Validated Touch-Video Database (VTD), a resource of 90 videos depicting tactile interactions, validated by participants to study the sensory and emotional dimensions of observed touch.

Domain general frontoparietal regions show modality-dependent coding of auditory and visual rules

The paper investigates how frontoparietal brain regions encode visual and auditory rules, finding that they use modality-specific codes rather than generalizable representations.

Spatiotemporal characterisation of information coding and exchange in the multiple demand network

This study uses fMRI and MEG to analyze information coding and exchange in the multiple demand network, revealing distinct encoding patterns and introducing Fusion-RCA for connectivity analysis.

Selective attention and decision-making have separable neural bases in space and time

This study separates the neural bases of selective attention and decision-making using a two-stage task and multimodal neuroimaging data, showing attention affects stimulus representations before decision-making begins.

Vicarious touch: overlapping neural patterns between seeing and feeling touch

The paper tests if seeing touch activates similar neural representations as feeling touch, finding overlap only in individuals who experience vicarious touch.

Undivided attention: The temporal effects of attention dissociated from decision, memory, and expectation

This study investigates the dynamic effect of attention on visual processing using EEG data, showing preferential coding of attended stimuli around 230ms after stimulus onset, independent of target-related processes and temporal expectation.

Linking the brain with behaviour: the neural dynamics of success and failure in goal-directed behaviour

This study uses MEG to analyze how neural activity changes during successful and erroneous goal-directed tasks, revealing distinct patterns in perceptual information processing and decision-making.

Concurrent neuroimaging and neurostimulation reveals a causal role for dlPFC in coding of task-relevant information

This study uses concurrent TMS-fMRI and MVPA to show that dlPFC causally supports the representation of task-relevant information by decreasing its coding when disrupted.

Neural signatures of vigilance decrements predict behavioural errors before they occur

The paper uses MEG data to show that neural signatures of vigilance decrements can predict behavioural errors before they occur in a monitoring task.

Perceptual difficulty modulates the direction of information flow in familiar face recognition

This study shows that perceptual difficulty and familiarity level influence neural information flow direction in face recognition, with feed-forward dominance for familiar faces and top-down flow when recognition is harder.

The influence of object-colour knowledge on emerging object representations in the brain

This study examines how object-colour knowledge influences brain activity patterns during object recognition, showing that conceptual knowledge affects representations after initial feature processing.

Foveal feedback supports peripheral perception of both object color and form

This study investigates whether foveal feedback affects perception of color and form in the visual periphery using behavioral experiments with distractors.

Visual body form and orientation cues do not modulate visuo-tactile temporal integration

This study investigates whether visual cues affect visuo-tactile temporal integration using a temporal order judgment task and finds no modulation by visual form or orientation cues.

Seeing versus Knowing: The Temporal Dynamics of Real and Implied Colour Processing in the Human Brain

This study compares the neural activation patterns for real and implied colour perception using MEG and MVPA, finding that implied colour activation occurs later than real colour perception.

Meaningful patterns of information in the brain revealed through analysis of errors

The paper analyzes brain activity patterns during errors to determine which information is behaviorally meaningful, finding stronger links in frontoparietal cortex than visual cortex.

Limits on visual awareness of object targets in the context of other object category masks: Investigating bottlenecks in the continuous flash suppression paradigm with hand and tool stimuli

The paper investigates visual awareness limits using the CFS paradigm with hand and tool stimuli, finding faster target detection with these masks than predicted, and suggesting both low- and high-level factors influence awareness.

Decoding digits and dice with Magnetoencephalography: Evidence for a shared representation of magnitude

The paper uses MEG and MVPA to show that magnitude is represented similarly across different numerical formats like digits and dice, with temporal differences in access.
