Action monitoring: correct and erroneous decisions are reflected in event-related potentials in humans
(2014-06-27)The main objective of this study is to understand the functional meaning of the error-related components. We have recorded the ERPs while human subjects performed in a perceptual length discrimination task (LDT) in which ... -
Age-related changes in brain activity are specific for high order cognitive processes during successful encoding of information in working memory
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Memory capacity suffers an age-related decline, which is supposed to be due to a generalized slowing of processing speed and to a reduced availability of processing resources. Information encoding in memory has been ... -
Age-related effects on event-related brain potentials in a congruence/incongruence judgment color-word Stroop task
(Frontiers Media, 2014)We examined the event-related brain potentials elicited by color-word stimuli in a Stroop task in which healthy participants (young and old) had to judge whether the meaning and the color of the stimulus were congruent or ... -
Attentional load affects automatic emotional processing: evidence from event-related potentials
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2006)One open question on the relation between attention and emotion concerns the automatic processing of emotional visual stimuli outside the focus of attention. This study examined to what extent the emotional processing at ... -
Binge drinking affects attentional and visual working memory processing in young university students
(Wiley, 2009)Background: Binge Drinking (BD) typically involves heavy drinking over a short time, followed by a period of abstinence, and is common among young people, especially university students. Animal studies have demonstrated ... -
Binge drinking affects brain oscillations linked to motor inhibition and execution
(SAGE Publications, 2017)Introduction: Neurofunctional studies have shown that binge drinking (BD) patterns of alcohol consumption during adolescence and youth are associated with anomalies in brain functioning. Recent evidence suggests that ... -
Covert orienting of visuospatial attention in the early stages of aging
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2002)Electrophysiological and behavioral responses were recorded in healthy young (19–23 years) and older (56–66 years) subjects dur- ing the execution ofa visuospatial attention task. The objective was to test whether covert ... -
Effects of a persistent binge drinking pattern of alcohol consumption in young people: A follow-up study using event-related potentials
(Oxford University Press, 2013)Aims: The objective of this study was to examine brain activity related to visual attention processes in youths who had maintained a binge drinking (BD) pattern of alcohol consumption for >2 years. Methods: The participants ... -
Effects of aging and involuntary capture of attention on event-related potentials associated with the processing of and the response to a target stimulus
(Frontiers Media, 2014)The main aim of the present study was to assess whether aging modulates the effects of involuntary capture of attention by novel stimuli on performance, and on event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with target ... -
Effects of load and maintenance duration on the time course of information encoding and retrieval in working memory: from perceptual analysis to post-categorization processes
(Frontiers Media, 2014)Working memory (WM) involves three cognitive events: information encoding, maintenance, and retrieval; these are supported by brain activity in a network of frontal, parietal and temporal regions. Manipulation of WM load ... -
Electrophysiological correlates of an alcohol-cued Go/NoGo task: A dual-process approach to binge drinking in university students.
(MDPI, 2019)Binge drinking is a common pattern of alcohol consumption in adolescence and youth. Neurocognitive dual-process models attribute substance use disorders and risk behaviours during adolescence to an imbalance between an ... -
Event-Related Potentials Elicited by a Visual Continuous Performance Task in Children of Alcoholics
(Elsevier Masson, 1999)Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from a group of young children of alcoholics (HR; n -17, 7 females) with a high-density family-history of alcoholism and from a control group (CN; n -19, 10 females), ages 7–15 ... -
Event-related potentials elicited by infrequent non-target stimuli in young children of alcoholics: Family history and gender differences
(Oxford University Press, 1998)This article analyses the visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by infrequent non-target stimuli in young children with alcoholic fathers. The aim was to study the characteristics of the ERP waves ... -
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ... -
Evolution of the binge drinking pattern in college students: neuropsychological correlates
(Elsevier, 2014)It is well known that alcohol impairs response inhibition and that adolescence is a critical period of neuromaturation where cognitive processes such as inhibitory control are still developing. In recent years, growing ... -
Hiperactivation of right inferior frontal cortex in young binge drinkers during response inhibition: A follow-up study
(Wiley, 2012)Aims: The objective of this study was to examine brain activity, with particular attention to prefrontal function, during response execution and inhibition in youths who have engaged in binge drinking (BD) for at least 2 ... -
Interference of Cellular Phone Conversations with Visuomotor Tasks: An ERP Study
(Hogrefe, 2001)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 ... -
Long-latency ERPs and recognition of facial identity
(MIT PressCognitive Neuroscience Institute [Copublisher], 2003)N400 brain event-related potential (ERP) is a mismatch negativity originally found in response to semantic incongruences of a linguistic nature and is used paradigmatically to investigate memory organization in various ... -
Middle-latency auditory evoked potentials in children at high risk for alcoholism
(Elsevier, 2001)Purpose. In the course of a high-risk study for alcoholism, the middle-latency auditory evoked potentials (MAEPs) of children of alcoholics were explored. Material and Methods. A series of auditory clicks (0.1 ms, 60 dB ... -
Mismatch negativity (MMN) amplitude as a biomarker of sensory memory deficit in amnestic mild cognitive impairment
(Frontiers, 2013-11-20)It has been suggested that changes in some event-related potential (ERP) parameters associated with controlled processing of stimuli could be used as biomarkers of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). However, data ...
