Cross-modal interactions at the audiovisual cocktail-party revealed by behavior, ERPs, and neural oscillations

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2023
Theories of attention argue that objects are the units of attentional selection. In real-word environments such objects can contain visual and auditory features. To understand how mechanisms of selective attention operate in multisensory environments, in

Preparing for the unknown: How working memory provides a link between perception and anticipated action

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2022
What mechanisms underlie the transfer of a working memory representation into a higher-level code for guiding future actions? Electrophysiological correlates of attentional selection and motor preparation processes within working memory were investigated

Human Reliability Analysis for Digitized Nuclear Power Plants: Case Study on the LingAo II Nuclear Power Plant

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
The main control room (MCR) in advanced nuclear power plants (NPPs) has changed from analog to digital control system (DCS). Operation and control have become more automated, centralized, and accurate due to the digitalization of NPPs, which has improved

The Human Transcription Factors [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2018
Transcription factors (TFs) recognize specific DNA sequences to control chromatin and transcription, forming a complex system that guides expression of the genome. Despite keen interest in understanding how TFs control gene expression, it remains challenging to determine how the precise genomic binding sites of TFs are specified and how TF binding ...

Blink-related EEG activity measures cognitive load during proactive and reactive driving

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Assessing drivers’ cognitive load is crucial for driving safety in challenging situations. This research employed the occurrence of drivers’ natural eye blinks as cues in continuously recorded EEG data to assess the cognitive workload while reactive or ...
