Investigating word order processing using pupillometry and event-related potentials
… measure known as pupillometry as well as Event-Related Potentials (ERP). The scope of the the- sis was broad, investigating the processing of several different movement constructions with native speakers of English and second language learners of English, as well as word order and case …

An ERP investigation of symbolic and nonsymbolic fraction processing
… limitations in temporal resolution by using event-related potentials (ERP) to analyze the time course of symbolic and nonsymbolic fraction processing. The improved temporal resolution with a fraction comparison task allow us to investigate whether access to fraction magnitude is both direct …

Neurophysiological evaluation of sensory gating and selective attention in schizotypal personality
… is part of a spectrum of schizophrenia-related disorders. Investigations of biological markers for schizophrenia in schizotypal subjects have tried to test this relationship. Given that there is considerable evidence for both sensory gating and binaural selective attention abnormalities …

Physical activity for the brain, but for whom? An individual difference investigation of the FITKids clinical trial on cognitive control and ERPs in children
… as well as a modified flanker task while event-related potentials (ERP) were collected. Pre-test cardiorespiratory fitness results revealed insufficient sample size for higher-fit children. Thus, fitness was utilized as a matching variable with one hundred seventy-two participants (n = 86 …

Tactile tribology- investigation of tactile graphics and perception characterization using event-related potentials
… stimulus was carried out by recording the event-related potentials (ERP) using an electroencephalography (EEG) device. The use of squared difference comparison proved to be an effective method to identify the presence of amplitude-based events in reaction to the textured stimulus. Increased …

The Effects of Age and Task on Visual Emotion Processing
… P1 and N170 components of visually-evoked event-related potentials (ERP) over posterior scalp regions associated with vision. The current study examined the extent to which angry and happy facial expressions evoked differential patterns of P1 and N170 enhancements in younger (n = 21, ages …

Auditory perceptual simulation during silent reading: effects on language processing and comprehension
… in a text. In three eye-tracking studies and one Event-related Potentials (ERP) study, APS effects were investigated as people read utterances attributed to a native English speaker, a non-native English speaker, or no speaker at all. APS effects were measured via online eye movements and offline …

Shaping Brain and Behaviour: Investigating the Properties and Electrophysiological Correlates of Reinforcement
… procedures were integrated with the analysis of Event-Related Potentials (ERP) to test these theories with respect to their predictions for both conditional and direct reinforcement. The integration of ERP analysis enabled the investigation of how neural correlates of reinforcement relate to the …

A study on the utility of temporal derivatives and unsupervised clustering in brain-computer interfaces
… (BCIs) rely on accurate classification of event-related potentials (ERP), a task commonly delegated to a machine-learning algorithm, which investigates features derived from the voltages (V) recorded at different scalp locations with the electro-encephalogram (EEG). The performance of the …

A study of event-related electrocortical oscillatory dynamics associated with cued motor-response inhibition during performance of the Go/NoGo task within a sample of prenatally alcohol-exposed children and age-matched controls
… Go/NoGo response inhibition task. We utilised event-related electroencephalographic methodologies to examine event-related potentials (ERP) and eventrelated changes in induced oscillatory power - event-related desynchronisation (ERD)/eventrelated synchronisation (ERS). Across visual and …

Attention-Emotion Interactions in Psychopathy
… well validated measure of psychopathic traits. Event-related brain potentials and startle reflex magnitude were collected while participants heard blink eliciting noise probes and viewed unpleasant and neutral pictures matched on visual complexity from the International Affective Picture System …

Ensemble of classifiers based data fusion of EEG and MRI for diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders
… tool must be made available. As biomarkers, the event related potentials (ERP) of the electroencephalogram (EEG) - which has previously shown promise in automated diagnosis - in addition to volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are relatively low cost and readily available tools that can …

Otoacoustic emission (OAE)-based measurement of the functioning of the human cochlea and the efferent auditory system
… function and the efferent auditory system. A related objective was to substantiate the functional relevance of the efferent auditory system in speech-in-noise perception, in order to address the clinical significance of measuring OAE suppression.<br/>Cochlear functioning was potentially …

When School Fits Me: The Role of Regulatory Fit in Academic Engagement and Learning
… mechanisms that explain how fit may help, event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded. Participants completed the initial task with two blocks. One block was framed to emphasize mastery goals (e.g. effort, learning, mastery of knowledge) and another was framed to emphasize performance …

Investigations of the neural basis of source memory strength
… memory of specific associative information using Event Related Potentials (ERPs). During encoding, participants were shown words paired with scenes that were either natural or man-made. When shown the words again during the memory test, the participants were asked a source question, whether the …

Prosodic phrase boundary perception in adults and infants
… perception in adults and infants. Using the event-related potential (ERP) technique, three experimental studies examined the role of prosodic context (i.e., phrase length) in German phrase boundary perception and of the main prosodic boundary cues, namely pitch change, final lengthening, and …
