EEG in the wild: Using real-world tasks to measure changes in EEG rhythms related to human Attention.
DownloadFall 2023
Understanding attentional processes in everyday environments is an important step to further understanding the EEG rhythms that, for decades, have been studied in isolated indoor chambers. The present dissertation aimed to investigate the dynamics of EEG oscillations using mobile settings. The...

Perception is to sensation what illusion is to the actual state of the world. How we sense information varies greatly from how we ultimately perceive and understand that information - a result of top-down and bottom-up processes at work. Work from over 100 years ago (Brucke, 1864) found an...

The major question addressed by neuroscience is how behavior can be explained through knowledge of the brain. Given the unobservable nature of mind, cognitive neuroscientists depend on observations of the electrical activity of the brain gleaned through electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings to...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Multisensory Integration in Peripersonal Space: an Exploration of the Auditory Attention System
DownloadFall 2012
Neuroscientific investigations of the primate brain point to the presence of multimodal (visual, tactile, auditory) neurons that preferentially code stimuli presented in the space immediately surrounding the body, termed peripersonal space. The activity of these neurons has been shown to...

This study compares the role of cognitive processes in children diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD) through the traditional aptitude-achievement discrepancy model with students diagnosed on the basis of their low achievement alone. Historically, in North American settings, LD has been...

As we listen to spoken language, the brain performs multiple levels of computation, from understanding individual words to comprehending the arc of a story. Recently, computational models have been developed that also process text on multiple levels. These models, called multi-timescale long...

Insights into Early Word Comprehension - Tracking the Neural Representations of Word Semantics in Infants
DownloadSpring 2022
Infants start developing rudimentary language skills and can start understanding simple words well before their first birthday. This development has also been shown primarily using Event Related Potential (ERP) techniques to find evidence of word comprehension in the infant brain. While these...

Neurosilence: intracerebral applications of protein synthesis inhibitors eliminate neural activity
DownloadFall 2010
The acquisition of a behavioural response (learning) and the later retrieval of this response (memory) are separated by an endogenous biological process which consolidates the temporary neural changes initiated by training. Intracerebral infusions of stimulants to the hippocampus potentiate this...
