Complex impact of stimulus envelope on motor synchronization to sound

The paper shows that participants synchronize motor responses to sound stimuli with sharp amplitude onsets more consistently than gradual ones, but extract modulation rates equally well from both.

Neural signatures of temporal anticipation in human cortex represent event probability density

The paper shows that neural activity in human cortex encodes event probability density rather than hazard rate during temporal anticipation.

A scalable and robust system for Audience EEG recordings

The paper presents a scalable EEG hyper-scanning system for recording audience brain activity using low-cost components and custom software, achieving robust data alignment and performance in both lab and cinema settings.

The Timing of Cortical Activation in Associator Grapheme-Colour Synaesthetes using MEG

This study uses MEG to examine the timing and neural correlates of associator grapheme-colour synaesthesia, finding evoked activity at ~190 ms localized to occipito-parietal regions, supporting the Disinhibited Feedback model.

Psychopathy and distance estimation

This study investigates whether psychopathy affects distance estimation, finding that individuals with higher psychopathy levels underestimate approaching avatar distances less than those with lower scores.

Tuning in Sensorimotor Synchronization

This study examines the 'tuning-in' phase of sensorimotor synchronization, revealing distinct temporal scales and roles for phase and period alignment across limbs.

Neural Correlates of Temporal Anticipation

This study investigates temporal anticipation in humans using magnetoencephalography, finding that right parietal cortex activity correlates with reaction times and represents event probability.

Dynamics of functional networks for syllable and word-level processing

The paper investigates how lexical and syllable processing interact in speech comprehension using MEG data, showing distinct neural networks for each and their interaction in temporal regions.

Prediction Under Uncertainty: Dissociating Sensory from Cognitive Expectations in Highly Uncertain Musical Contexts

The paper investigates how predictive processes in the brain respond to high uncertainty in musical contexts using MMN and behavioral experiments, finding robust MMN responses in atonal music but better behavioral performance in tonal contexts.

Crowdsourcing neuroscience: inter-brain coupling during face-to-face interactions outside the laboratory

This paper uses crowdsourced EEG data from face-to-face interactions to show that brain synchrony correlates with empathy, social closeness, and engagement during naturalistic social behavior.

The Anticipation of Events in Time

This paper investigates how perceptual systems model event probability density and temporal uncertainty across sensory modalities, finding that reciprocal PDFs, not hazard rates, underlie these processes.
