Frontal-to-Parietal Theta Interactions Mediate Tactile Decision-Making [PDF]

Life
Decision-making relies on coordinated neural dynamics that integrate sensory evidence with top-down control. In this EEG study, we examined sensor (scalp)-level theta and alpha-band oscillations, as well as fronto-parietal network connectivity, during a ...

Causal Analysis in Some Topics of Philosophy of Biology [PDF]

Journal of Philosophical Investigations, 2021
Despite all the ontological doubts about causality, one of the most important pillars of any philosophical theory is the issue of causality, with which it must clarify its task theory. Philosophy of biology as a field of philosophical knowledge has taken

Leadership accountability in community-based forest management: experimental evidence in support of governmental oversight

Ecology and Society, 2023
Evidence of the impact of community-based forest management (CBFM) on conservation outcomes is mixed. Local governance is a key moderating factor, but what constitutes good governance is still up for debate.

Qualitative Comparative Analysis: Search Target, Reflection on the Top-Down Approach, and Introduction of the Bottom-Up Approach

International Journal of Qualitative Methods, 2023
Based on the INUS theory of causality, the search target of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is to find all the minimally sufficient conditions for the outcome’s occurrence in a data set, where the condition’s sufficiency , the necessity of the ...

Audio-Visual Causality and Stimulus Reliability Affect Audio-Visual Synchrony Perception

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
People can discriminate the synchrony between audio-visual scenes. However, the sensitivity of audio-visual synchrony perception can be affected by many factors.

Involvement of top-down networks in the perception of facial emotions: A magnetoencephalographic investigation

NeuroImage, 2020
Conscious perception of the emotional valence of faces has been proposed to involve top-down and bottom-up information processing. Yet, the underlying neuronal mechanisms of these two processes and the implementation of their cooperation is still unclear.

The Directionality of Fronto-Posterior Brain Connectivity Is Associated with the Degree of Individual Autistic Traits

Brain Sciences, 2021
Altered patterns of brain connectivity have been found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and associated with specific symptoms and behavioral features. Growing evidence suggests that the autistic peculiarities are not confined to the clinical population ...

Greater pre-stimulus effective connectivity from the left inferior frontal area to other areas is associated with better phonological decoding in dyslexic readers

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010
Functional neuroimaging studies suggest that neural networks that subserve reading are organized differently in dyslexic readers (DRs) and typical readers (TRs), yet the hierarchical structure of these networks has not been well studied.

Deafness Weakens Interareal Couplings in the Auditory Cortex

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
The function of the cerebral cortex essentially depends on the ability to form functional assemblies across different cortical areas serving different functions.

Alpha and theta mechanisms operating in internal-external attention competition [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
Attention is the ability to prioritize a set of information at expense of others and can be internally- or externally-oriented. Alpha and theta oscillations have been extensively implicated in attention.
