Phase synchronization analysis of event-related brain potentials in language processing
Das Forschungsthema Synchronisation bildet einen Schnittpunkt von Nichtlinearer Dynamik und Neurowissenschaft. So hat zum einen neurobiologische Forschung gezeigt, daß die Synchronisation neuronaler Aktivität einen wesentlichen Aspekt der Funktionsweise des Gehirns darstellt. Zum anderen haben …

The psychological validity of collocation : evidence from event-related brain potentials
… an indirect measure of what is going on in the brain during language processing. In this thesis, I therefore investigate the psychological validity of corpus-derived collocations using a direct measure of neural activity, namely electroencephalography (EEG). More specifically, I use the …

Age-related differences in semantic priming : evidence from event-related brain potentials
… in response to a word that immediately follows a related sentence or single-word is age-invariant. This was done using the N400 event-related brain potential (ERP). N400 amplitude varies inversely with semantic priming (Kutas, 1980), and this effect is larger for sentence primes than for word …

Processing Unattended Visual Information: Insights From an Analysis of Repetition Priming Using Event-Related Brain Potentials
… visual letter strings, a modulation of event-related potentials (ERPs) may be observed when the unattended word is repeated on the subsequent trial as the unattended word. This modulation differs in polarity and scalp distribution from that typically seen when attended words are …

Are odd things all the same? Physical and semantic distinctiveness, memory, and event-related brain potentials
Item marked as restricted to the 'UIUC Users [automated]' Group (id=2) by Howard Ding (hding2@illinois.edu) on 2011-05-07T14:56:00Z Item is restricted indefinitely.

The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease : evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures
… deficits in Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures Semantic memory impairment is commonly observed in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT); however the nature of the impairment is unclear. Some researchers argue that the deficit …

Neural Correlates of Tactile Attention: Behavioural measures and event-related brain potentials of inhibition of return, exogenous and endogenous attention in touch
… phenomenon in touch. The concurrently recorded event related potentials (ERPs) demonstrated an early attention modulation of the N80 in all studies presented in this thesis, regardless of the presence or absence of IOR. This early component likely reflects processing of the exogenous lateralized …

Aerobic fitness and the attentional blink in preadolescent children
… the extent to which aerobic fitness relates to brain health and cognition during development is of increasing importance. Given that temporal dynamics has not been examined to link the relation of aerobic fitness with cognition in preadolescent children, this study sought to employ neuroelectric …

Multiple detector wireless FNIRS sensor to detect hemodynamic activity
… has opened new opportunities for the study of brain functionality. This powerful method uses the optical properties of a tissue at multiple near infra-red wavelengths to dynamically determine the levels of both oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hbr). Traditional …

Great (Syntactic) Expectations: Multiple Structures and the Case for Parallelism in Language Processing
Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) are used to address a controversial issue in language-processing research, namely whether the parser proposes more than one possibility for how a sentence will continue. Relatively little research has used ERPs to answer this question, and previous studies have …

Comprehending counterfactuals
Counterfactual reasoning, an understanding of events that are counter to reality, or false, is an essential ingredient of our everyday cognition. Counterfactual situations are frequently depicted through language, yet surprisingly little is known of how they are processed during reading or …

The influence of individual difference variables on vocal emotion processing
… stimuli. Finally, Study 3 studied event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to examine brain responses to vocal emotions. In all three studies, self-reports were collected on individual differences (stable personality traits, short-term fluctuations in mood, differences in affect …

Preserved Implicit Semantic Differentiation in an Alexic Wernicke's Aphasic

Electrophysiological correlates of orienting retrieval to remote and recent memories : effects of an episodic specificity induction
The present set of experiments employed event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to investigate differences in how individuals orient retrieval to memories from different times. Experiment 1 investigated whether ERP effects of orienting to remote and recent memories were distinct from effects of …

The Relationship Between Ideology and Disgust Sensitivity
