Paper Title: heuristics in risky decision-making relate to preferential representation of information Research Background When making choices, individuals not only differ from each other but also deviate from normative theoretical recommendations. One explanation for this difference is that individuals have unique information representation prefere...
Application of Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to Analyze Changes in Whole-Brain Oscillatory Microstate Patterns Across the Lifespan: Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience Cohort Study Research Background With the increasing seriousness of the aging population problem, understanding the neurophysiological changes during the aging process becomes...
Analysis of Cortical Neurophysiological Characteristics of ALS and Its Potential as a Biomarker Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects adults, characterized by a gradual loss of the integrity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral motor system. Although clinical and genetic studies have reveale...
Background Introduction A notable characteristic of human language processing is our ability to combine stored lexical elements, i.e., words, as needed to flexibly generate or alter current meanings. At the core of this process is how we construct semantic representations in real time. Although research on the generation of syntactic structures has...
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 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 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 ...
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...
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...
Human Sensorimotor Resting State β Events and Aperiodic Activity Exhibit Good Test-Retest Reliability Background Neurological diseases are some of the most impactful diseases on daily human life, particularly those affecting sensory and motor functions, such as Parkinson’s disease. Early diagnosis of these diseases is often exceedingly difficult du...
