Specifying Precision in Visual-orthographic Prediction Error Representations for a Better Understanding of Efficient Reading

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, August 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractEfficient visual word recognition presumably relies on orthographic prediction error (oPE) representations. On the basis of a transparent neurocognitive computational model rooted in the principles of the predictive coding framework, we postulated that readers...

Electroencephalographic Decoding of Conscious versus Unconscious Representations during Binocular Rivalry

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, August 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractTheories of visual awareness often fall into two general categories, those assuming that awareness arises rapidly within visual cortex and those assuming that awareness arises more slowly as a result of interactions between visual cortex and frontoparietal...

Salient, Unexpected Omissions of Sounds Can Involuntarily Distract Attention

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, August 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractSalient unexpected and task-irrelevant sounds can act as distractors by capturing attention away from a task. Consequently, a performance impairment (e.g., prolonged RTs) is typically observed along with a pupil dilation response (PDR) and the P3a ERP...

Temporal Dynamics and Representational Consequences of the Control of Processing Conflict between Visual Working Memory and Visual Perception

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, August 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractVisual working memory (WM) extensively interacts with visual perception. When information between the two processes is in conflict, cognitive control can be recruited to effectively mitigate the resultant interference. The current study investigated the neural...

Internal State Estimation via Physiological Data and Its Modulation by Environmental Context during Social Activity

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, August 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractUnderstanding individuals’ internal cognitive states during group interactions is crucial for enhancing group dynamics and communication. This study investigated internal states by analyzing physiological data—EEG, electrocardiography, and pupil...

Slower Postencoding Stimulus Reaction Time Predicts Poorer Subsequent Source Memory and Increased Midline Cortical Activity

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, August 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractIndividuals vary widely in their ability to encode and retrieve past personal experiences in rich contextual detail (episodic memory). However, it remains unclear how within-subject variations in attention, measured on a trial-by-trial basis at encoding, and...
