Sensorimotor learning during a marksmanship task in immersive virtual reality
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018-02-06)
Sensorimotor learning refers to improvements that occur through practice in the performance
of sensory-guided motor behaviors. Leveraging novel technical capabilities of an immersive
virtual environment, we probed the component ...
Strategic allocation of attention reduces temporally predictable stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2012-09)
Humans are able to continuously monitor environmental situations and adjust their
behavioral strategies to optimize performance. Here we investigate the behavioral
and brain adjustments that occur when conflicting stimulus ...
The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
Improved Visual Cognition through Stroboscopic Training.
(Front Psychol, 2011)
Humans have a remarkable capacity to learn and adapt, but surprisingly little research
has demonstrated generalized learning in which new skills and strategies can be used
flexibly across a range of tasks and contexts. In ...
Pinning down response inhibition in the brain--conjunction analyses of the Stop-signal task.
(Neuroimage, 2010-10-01)
Successful behavior requires a finely-tuned interplay of initiating and inhibiting
motor programs to react effectively to constantly changing environmental demands.
One particularly useful paradigm for investigating inhibitory ...
Action video game playing is associated with improved visual sensitivity, but not alterations in visual sensory memory.
(Atten Percept Psychophys, 2013-08)
Action video game playing has been experimentally linked to a number of perceptual
and cognitive improvements. These benefits are captured through a wide range of psychometric
tasks and have led to the proposition that action ...
Multifactorial determinants of the neurocognitive effects of electroconvulsive therapy.
(J ECT, 2014-06)
For many patients with neuropsychiatric illnesses, standard psychiatric treatments
with mono or combination pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and transcranial magnetic
stimulation are ineffective. For these patients ...

What is the identity of a sports spectator?
(Personality and Individual Differences, 2012-02-01)
Despite the prominence of sports in contemporary society, little is known about the
identity and personality traits of sports spectators. With a sample of 293 individuals,
we examine four broad categories of factors that ...
Rapid modulation of sensory processing induced by stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2011-09)
Humans are constantly confronted with environmental stimuli that conflict with task
goals and can interfere with successful behavior. Prevailing theories propose the
existence of cognitive control mechanisms that can suppress ...
