Evidence for the functional and structural differentiation of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus using DTI tractography
DownloadFall 2016
The inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), a major ventral white matter pathway, has been shown to be a crucial component of semantic (Moritz-Gasser, Herbet & Duffau, 2013) and lexical/orthographic (Vandermosten, Boets, Polemans, Sunaert, Wouters & Ghesquière, 2012) processing. However,...

The Minimal-Interactivity Effect: The Role of Thought Speed in the Consumption of Digital Experiences
DownloadFall 2020
In this dissertation, I study the power of minimal interactivity—defined as a single simple action that exercises control during a consumption experience—to affect evaluations and media consumption decisions. I argue that, in contrast to passivity, even when consumers navigate online at low...
