Evaluating the impact of channel density on representational similarity analysis of prediction-related effects in language
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-10-20 without embargo terms

Pinpointing the cerebellum's contribution to social reward processing
… representing people would like or dislike them. Representational similarity analysis was used to compare the responses of reward and social brain regions to conditions in which participants either won or lost money and were either liked or disliked by others. We found that portions of the …

Say cheese! Brain imaging of texture perception
… procedures and implement advanced denoising and analysis techniques to make studying the brain during mastication feasible. Brain responses to stimuli that vary in food form, textural intensity or complexity were measured using multi-echo fMRI and fNIRS. Food stimuli were specifically designed to …

Computational models of the human visual cortex: on individual differences and ecologically valid input statistics
Perception relies on cortical processes in response to sensory stimuli. Visual input entering the eyes ascends a cascade of processing steps from the retina to high-level regions of the cortex. Vision science investigates these transformations that give rise to high-level processing of visual …

Learning, Consolidating, and Generalising Novel Morphology
… on the day of scanning or on the previous day. Representational Similarity Analysis revealed increased similarity structure among high type frequency plurals and reduced similarity structure among high token frequency plurals following overnight consolidation in the left superior temporal gyrus …

Assessing the neural computations supporting predictions of form and meaning in speech comprehension
… underlying the theoretical motivation for the analysis approach: multivariate analyses of electrophysiological human brain recordings using simultaneous magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (M/EEG). Chapter 2 covers an additional crucial aspect of study design: the trade-off …

Neural Encoding of Continuous Attended Speech in Monolingual and Bilingual Listeners
… of a second language, and typological similarity between the two languages. These questions are addressed in four experiments by investigating the neural encoding of continuous attended speech under different types of linguistic and non-linguistic interference in monolinguals, …

Electrophysiological systems underlying human domain-general cognition and selective attention
… By applying irregular-resampling auto-spectral analysis (IRASA) and multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), I show that both aperiodic (broadband power, slope, and intercept) and oscillatory (theta, alpha, and beta power) components encode task demand and content across three cognitive tasks. …

How does context variability affect representational pattern similarity to support subsequent item memory?
… factors. These studies sometimes find that similarity in the voxel patterns across repetition of a to-be-remembered event predicts later memory retrieval, but the results are inconsistent. The current fMRI study investigated the possibility that cognitive goals during encoding affect the …
