Using Real-time Reporting to Investigate Visual Experiences in Dreams

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Sunday, February 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractNeuroscientific investigations of human dreaming have been hampered by reliance on dream recall after awakening. For example, a challenge of associating EEG features with post-waking dream reports is that they are subject to distortion, forgetting, and poor...

Neural Evidence for Tonal Prediction: Multivariate Decoding of Predicted Tone Categories Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractPredictive processing plays a central role in language comprehension, allowing listeners to generate predictions about upcoming linguistic input. Although considerable evidence supports segmental prediction, less is known about whether listeners can form...

The Role of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep in Neural Differentiation of Memories in the Hippocampus

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractWhen faced with a familiar situation, we can use memory to make predictions about what will happen next. If such predictions turn out to be erroneous, the brain can adapt by differentiating the representations of the cue from the mispredicted item itself,...

Neural Activation Down to the Spinal Cord during Action Language? A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Study

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractLanguage comprehension is increasingly recognized as extending beyond the traditional linguistic system to engage motor and perceptual processes. This perspective is supported by numerous studies demonstrating that understanding action-related words often...

Five- to Eight-Year-Old Children’s Home Numeracy Support and Math Skills Are Associated with Their Neural Number Processing

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractAcross the first years of schooling, children learn numerical information that is foundational to mathematical learning. Individual differences in math skills and the math learning support children receive at home may be related to their brain activity when...

Increasing Signal, Reducing Noise: Contrasting Neural Mechanisms of Attention in Visual Search

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, January 1, 2026 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractWhen invariant target–distractor arrays are presented repeatedly during visual search, participants respond faster on repeated versus novel configuration trials. This effect reflects attentional guidance through long-term memory (LTM) templates—a phenomenon...
