Electroencephalographic Functional Connectivity, Heartrate Synchrony, and Eye Movements Reveal Distinct Components within Narrative Engagement and Immersion

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractStorytelling is a fundamental and universal human behavior, representing a vehicle for cultural information exchange throughout human history. In the present day, consumption of narrative audiovisual media is one of the most common recreational activities...

Contralateral Hand and Foot Know the Time Better: Advantages in Temporal Order Judgment and Their Processing Stages

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractIn real-world scenarios, coordination between the contralateral hand and foot is often required to accomplish basic motor tasks, such as walking or running. Research on active movement has shown that the contralateral hand and foot perform better than the...

Sampling without Vision: Auditory Performance Fluctuates in Congenitally Blind Individuals

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractIn the past decade, studies have shown that attention fluctuates at ∼8 Hz, alternating between intervals of increased and decreased visual performance. This modulation of performance, which has been observed primarily in the visual modality, also manifests in...

Activation Pattern of Attentional Templates Affects Dual-target Search

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractNeural activation of the target representation (template) facilitates attentional guidance, allowing humans to effectively perform visual search. However, visual search is not always very effective, especially when searching for multiple templates. The reduced...

Theta Stimulation Enhances Early Consolidation of Semantic Memory

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, September 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractThis study investigates the role of theta frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) in enhancing the consolidation of newly acquired semantic knowledge. Although postencoding theta oscillatory power increase has been reported to benefit...

High-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation over the Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Can Improve Attentional Control Under Stress: Behavioral and Electrophysiological Evidence

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, September 1, 2025 | Cognitive Neuropsychology

AbstractPsychological stress impairs cognition, forcing attention toward stressor-related information. However, stress may reallocate limited cognitive resources in adaptive ways. How stress modulates the attentional control remains unclear. In this study, the...
