Correlates of Cortical Pain Processing - A ReviewAbstract: Pain is the result of complex neuronal activities within the brain but not a simple result of nociception. Pain results from an interaction of diverse neuronal modules located in different brain ...
Abstract: In this study, we compared working memory (WM) functions for simple actions of healthy subjects and schizophrenic patients by means of behavioral and ERP measures. Healthy subjects showed a large frontal N2 amplitude in the hard WM task with ...
Abstract: We recorded reaction times (RTs) and event-related potentials (ERPs) in patients with unilateral lesions during a memory search task. Participants memorized faces or abstract words, which were then recognized among new ones. The RT deficit found ...
Contingent Negative Variation (CNV) in Children with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder - An Experimental Study Using the Continuous Performance Test (CPT)SummaryObjectives: Evaluation of event-related potentials for selective attention in ...
Abstract. Playing a musical instrument professionally has been shown to lead to structural and functional neural adaptations, making musicians valuable subjects for neuroplasticity research. Here, we follow the ...
Neurofeedback training in children with ADHD: behavioral and neurophysiological effectsIn a multicentre randomised controlled trial, we evaluated the clinical efficacy of neurofeedback (NF) training in children with ADHD and investigated the mechanisms ...
Abstract.Objective: Daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) is common in childhood. The aim of the study was to neurophysiologically analyse the central emotion processing in children with DUI. Method: In 20 children ...
Abstract.Objective: Fecal incontinence and constipation are common disorders in childhood. The enteric nervous system and the central nervous system are highly interactive along the brain-gut axis. The interaction ...
Cognitive PsychophysiologySummary: This article deals with the investigation of cognitive processes by means of noninvasively recording and analyzing physiological signals, especially event-related brain potentials. First, the field of Cognitive ...
Abstract Reduced amplitudes of event-related potentials (ERP) have often been reported for schizophrenic patients. Positive ERPs were examined in 16 schizophrenic patients and 16 controls in a visual paired-associate learning task, in which successful ...
Baddeley's influential model of working memory postulates a unitary central executive that allocates mental resources to several distinct short-term buffers. Subjects viewed individually presented single numerals and were required to maintain memory sets ...
The use of mobile phones has been shown to increase drivers' reaction times (RTs), but whether this results from interference with attention, stimulus identification, or response production remains unclear. We recorded RTs and event-related brain ...
Abstract This paper integrates recent brain event-related potential (ERP) data within a functional systems framework. Atripartite division of the brain into cognitive, motoric, and affective/somatic functional systems is proposed. Each functional system ...
Abstract We investigated the contribution of motor processes to implicit and explicit serial learning by means of event-related brain potentials. An otherwise predictable sequence of S-R pairs was occasionally interrupted by stimuli that violated either ...
Abstract The present study served to investigate the effects of food deprivation on the identification of subliminally presented food-related words by means of event-related potentials (ERPs). ERPs were recorded in 16 hungry and 16 satiated subjects ...
Abstract The effects of manipulating configural and feature information on the face recognition process were investigated by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) from five electrode sites (Fz, Cz, Pz, T5, T6), while 17 European subjects performed an ...
Abstract The main aim of this study was to investigate whether an ERP-based memory assessment procedure (van Hooff et al., 1996) could be used to detect memories for items that (1) did not receive a behavioural recognition response and (2) were not ...
Abstract Most cognitive psychophysiological studies assume (1) that there is a chain of (partially overlapping) cognitive processes (processing stages, mechanisms, operators) leading from stimulus to response, and (2) that components of event-related ...
Abstract. The aim of the present study was to investigate behavioral and electrophysiological indices of developing response activation and inhibition processes in child, young-adult, and adult groups. Sixty subjects, with 20 in each of the child (mean ...
Abstract: Performance monitoring represents a critical executive function of the human brain. In an effort to identify its anatomical and physiological aspects, a negative component of event-related potentials (ERPs), which occurs only on incorrect trials,...
