Categorization of and Adaptation to Human Voice and Musical Instruments: A Passive Listening EEG Study

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractThe human voice is a highly socially relevant auditory stimulus, which has been shown to have a special status, both perceptually and neurally. Perceptual studies have revealed adaptation effects in the behavioral categorization of sounds as either human voice...

Behavioral and Electrophysiological Evidence for Intertrial Priming of Pop-out in Touch

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractIn mixed-features search tasks, the target-defining feature changes unpredictably across trials. Responses are faster when the same feature is repeated across successive trials. This effect, known as intertrial priming of pop-out (PoP), suggests that the...

Neural and Behavioral Dynamics of Predictive Speech Planning

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractTiming and prediction are fundamental components of conversational dynamics, particularly in the estimation of turn-taking. While neural markers of predictive processing have been proposed in comprehension, their counterparts in speech production remain less...

Retinotopic Spatial Working Memory Representations Are Not Affected by Task-irrelevant Visual Stimuli

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractVisual working memory (WM) enables the maintenance and manipulation of information no longer accessible in the world. Previous research has identified spatial WM representations in sustained activation patterns in visual, parietal, and frontal cortex, while...

The Time Course of Attention Engagement in a Single-stream Rapid Serial Visual Presentation Design

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractWhen two stimuli are presented at the same spatial location in close temporal proximity—typically less than 500 msec apart—the second stimulus is often not perceived, a phenomenon known as attentional blink (AB). This striking failure of visual awareness is...

Visual Working Memory Representations Selectively Drop in Contralateral Visual Cortex but Remain Decodable in Parietal Cortex after Eye Movements

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Sunday, March 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractIt has been suggested that our visual system does not only process stimuli that are directly available to our eyes but also has a role in maintaining information in visual working memory (VWM) over seconds. However, two critical questions remain unresolved....
