Stone tools, predictive processing and the evolution of language

Mind &Language, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 711-731, June 2023., 2023
Recent work by Stout and colleagues indicates that the neural correlates of language and Early Stone Age toolmaking overlap significantly. The aim of this paper is to add computational detail to their findings. I use an error minimisation model to outline where the information processing overlap between toolmaking and language lies.

Speaking in gestures: Left dorsal and ventral frontotemporal brain systems underlie communication in conducting

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 324-350, January 2023., 2023
In instrumentalists and conductors, a left frontotemporal dorsal system involving Broca's pars opercularis (F3op) distinguished conducting gestures from similar gestures to beat rhythms. A ventral system including the Broca's pars triangularis (F3tri) differentiated this motor act in conductors from those in instrumentalists.

Mirror neuron brain regions contribute to identifying actions, but not intentions

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 43, Issue 16, Page 4901-4913, November 2022., 2022
The involvement of mirror neuron brain regions in action understanding has been difficult to determine. Two experiments using transcranial magnetic stimulation and functional magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that mirror neuron regions are involved in action identification but not in identification of others' intentions. This suggests that mirror

Imagined paralysis reduces motor cortex excitability

Psychophysiology, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Mental imagery is a powerful capability that engages similar neurophysiological processes that underlie real sensory and motor experiences. Previous studies show that motor cortical excitability can increase during mental imagery of actions. In this study, we focused on possible inhibitory effects of mental imagery on motor functions.

You turn me cold: evidence for temperature contagion [PDF]

, 2014
Introduction During social interactions, our own physiological responses influence those of others. Synchronization of physiological (and behavioural) responses can facilitate emotional understanding and group coherence through inter-subjectivity.

Neural representation of phonological information during Chinese character reading

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 43, Issue 13, Page 4013-4029, September 2022., 2022
Using both univariate analysis (i.e., activation analysis) and multivariate analysis (i.e., RSA), the present study revealed a widely distributed network for phonological processing of Chinese characters, including the bilateral prefrontal cortex, lateral temporal cortex, and occipitotemporal cortex.

The effect of first‐person perspective action observation training on upper extremity function and activity of daily living of chronic stroke patients

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of First‐Person Perspective Action Observation training and Third‐Person Perspective Action Observation training on upper extremity function and activities of daily living of patients with stroke‐induced hemiplegia.

A neural signature for combined action observation and motor imagery? An fNIRS study into prefrontal activation, automatic imitation, and self–other perceptions

Brain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Research indicates that both observed and imagined actions can be represented in the brain as two parallel sensorimotor representations. One proposal is that higher order cognitive processes would align these two hypothetical action simulations.

Sex‐specific associations between traumatic experiences and resting‐state functional connectivity in the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort

JCPP Advances, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2021., 2021
Little is known about the sex‐specific effects of traumatic experiences on functional connectivity. In a large sample of non‐psychiatric youth (914 participants from the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort), we show an association between traumatic experiences and reduced resting‐state functional connectivity in brain regions corresponding with the ...
