Replicability of sight word training and phonics training in poor readers: a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Given the importance of effective treatments for children with reading impairment, paired with growing concern about the lack of scientific replication in psychological science, the aim of this study was to replicate a quasi-randomised trial of sight ...

Validation of the Emotiv EPOC® EEG gaming system for measuring research quality auditory ERPs [PDF]

PeerJ, 2013
Background. Auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) have proved useful in investigating the role of auditory processing in cognitive disorders such as developmental dyslexia, specific language impairment (SLI), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ...

Tracking orthographic learning in children with different types of dyslexia

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Previous studies have found that children with reading difficulties need more exposures to acquire the representations needed to support fluent reading than typically developing readers (e.g., Ehri & Saltmarsh, 1995).

Smoking Cessation With 20 Hz Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Applied to Two Brain Regions: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Chronic smoking impairs brain functions in the prefrontal cortex and the projecting meso-cortical limbic system. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine whether modulating the frontal brain activity using high-frequency repetitive transcranial ...

Validation of the Emotiv EPOC EEG system for research quality auditory event-related potentials in children [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Background. Previous work has demonstrated that a commercial gaming electroencephalography (EEG) system, Emotiv EPOC, can be adjusted to provide valid auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in adults that are comparable to ERPs recorded by a research ...

Using hypnosis to disrupt face processing: Mirrored-self misidentification delusion and different visual media

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Mirrored-self misidentification delusion is the belief that one’s reflection in the mirror is not oneself. This experiment used hypnotic suggestion to impair normal face processing in healthy participants and recreate key aspects of the delusion in the ...

A quasi-randomized feasibility pilot study of specific treatments to improve emotion recognition and mental-state reasoning impairments in schizophrenia

BMC Psychiatry, 2016
Background Impaired ability to make inferences about what another person might think or feel (i.e., social cognition impairment) is recognised as a core feature of schizophrenia and a key determinant of the poor social functioning that characterizes this

Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) reveals abnormal fMRI activity in both the core and extended face network in congenital prosopagnosia

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The ability to identify faces is mediated by a network of cortical and subcortical brain regions in humans. It is still a matter of debate which regions represent the functional substrate of congenital prosopagnosia (CP), a condition characterized by a ...
