Phase-dependent word perception emerges from region-specific sensitivity to the statistics of language

Phase-dependent word perception emerges from region-specific sensitivity to the statistics of language

Phase-Dependent Language Perception in Neural Oscillations: An Interdisciplinary Study Report Background During speech perception, the phase of neural oscillations plays a crucial role in the separation of neural representations and perceptual decisions. However, the specific phase-encoding mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to reveal how p...

Reactivation strength during cued recall is modulated by graph distance within cognitive maps

Reactivation Strength in Memory is Modulated by Graph Distance in Cognitive Maps Research Background Memory formation and retrieval are among the crucial areas of research in neuroscience. Classic memory theories propose that memory depends on three distinct stages: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. New episodic memories are formed through en...

Somatosensory Evoked Spikes in Normal Adults Detected by Magnetoencephalography

Somatosensory Evoked Spikes in Normal Adults Detected by Magnetoencephalography Research Background and Motivation Since 1949, clinical neurophysiology research has discovered that high-voltage cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) can be detected in patients with reflex epilepsy, where seizures are triggered by somatosensory stimulation ...

Spatiotemporal Brain Hierarchies of Auditory Memory Recognition and Predictive Coding

Spatiotemporal Brain Hierarchies of Auditory Memory Recognition and Predictive Coding

The Spatiotemporal Hierarchical Structure of the Brain in Auditory Memory Recognition and Predictive Coding Background This study aims to explore the hierarchical brain mechanisms involved in human identification of previously memorized music sequences and their systematic changes. While extensive research has been conducted on neural processing of...

Post-Task Responses Following Working Memory and Movement Are Driven by Transient Spectral Bursts with Similar Characteristics

Background and Research Questions Working memory and post-task responses (PTRs) in the brain have been a focal point in neuroscience research. Previous studies have shown that post-movement beta rebound (PMBR) is a reliable and stable phenomenon in the cerebral cortex that can be studied and measured using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Recent resea...
