The Impact of Amplitude and Phase-based MRI Time Series on Functional Connectivity Analysis Introduction Over the past decade, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has emerged as a non-invasive imaging technique that uses blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast to measure brain activity and study brain function (Kwong, 1996). By analyz...

Paper Title: heuristics in risky decision-making relate to preferential representation of information Research Background When making choices, individuals not only differ from each other but also deviate from normative theoretical recommendations. One explanation for this difference is that individuals have unique information representation prefere...

Application of Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to Analyze Changes in Whole-Brain Oscillatory Microstate Patterns Across the Lifespan: Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience Cohort Study Research Background With the increasing seriousness of the aging population problem, understanding the neurophysiological changes during the aging process becomes...

Analysis of Cortical Neurophysiological Characteristics of ALS and Its Potential as a Biomarker Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects adults, characterized by a gradual loss of the integrity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral motor system. Although clinical and genetic studies have reveale...

Background Introduction A notable characteristic of human language processing is our ability to combine stored lexical elements, i.e., words, as needed to flexibly generate or alter current meanings. At the core of this process is how we construct semantic representations in real time. Although research on the generation of syntactic structures has...
