Summary: Musicians have superior ability to regulate attention and improve sound object identification. Music training improves the deployment and management of attentional resources, which may generalize to nonmusical activities.

Summary: This study examined the responses to personally relevant social rewards, money, and neutral outcomes in individuals with and without autism. The results showed that autism did not differentially influence responses to these outcomes, but was associated with enhanced early anticipation brain responses and larger pupil constrictions during reward reception.

Summary: Film editing has been a subject of interest since the early days of cinematography. Recent studies have focused on the neural effects of visual transitions at edit cuts. This study investigated the neural correlates of continuity editing involving scale and angle variations. The findings suggest that edits involving scale changes have a greater impact on viewer perception compared to edits involving angle variations. Such findings are consistent with film editing manuals which emphasize the importance of scaling shots for achieving fluidity in a scene.

Summary: The mid-latency P2p component mainly reflects perceived changes in numerical attributes, while earlier components are likely to be related to the physical characteristics of the stimuli. Short-term plastic mechanisms induced by numerosity adaptation may involve a relatively late processing stage of the visual hierarchy likely engaging cortical areas beyond the primary visual cortex.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of cultural background on the neural processes underlying empathy during the perception of complaints. The results show that prosody and cultural identity play critical roles in the empathic response to complaints.

Summary: It is remarkable how human listeners can perceive periodicity in noise, which lacks obvious physical cues. Previous research suggested that listeners rely on short temporally local and idiosyncratic features to perceptually segment periodic noise sequences. The present study aimed to examine the consistency of perceptual segmentation within and between listeners. Results showed that the consistency was stronger for interleaved periodic sequences, likely due to reduced temporal jitter. Additionally, the finding that certain noise sequences were segmented consistently across listeners challenges the assumption that the features are necessarily idiosyncratic.

Summary: This study examined the relationships between 13 novel blood-plasma biomarkers and demographic and health factors related to dementia. The results showed that the concentrations of these biomarkers were largely not associated with demographics or health conditions, except for some expected associations. The findings suggest that changes in these biomarkers may be attributable to neuropathological changes.

Summary: Recent research has shown that acute administration of 800mg of Neuravena(R) has positive effects on processing speed, executive functions, and attention. Compared to placebo, Neuravena(R) significantly reduced specific neurophysiological markers, improved processing speed, without compromising accuracy.

Summary: This study aims to quantitatively analyze the relationship between the complexity of audio signals and the neurocognitive attributes, by examining the changes in pitch, loudness, and timbre of sound. EEG experiments were conducted to observe how the brain responds to variations in these basic components of sound. The results indicate a correlation between linear parameters and nonlinear features in the acoustic domain, while also revealing new information about the cognition of sound features in the human brain.

Summary: This study found that the combination of translingual neurostimulation (TLNS) and physical therapy (PT) can improve cognitive function, especially attention-related cognitive processes, in a real-world clinical sample.

Summary: Many theories propose that simulations of sensorimotor experience contribute to language processing. The body-object interaction effect (BOI) supports this view, as words with high BOI ratings are processed more quickly than words with low BOI ratings. Previous research showed that the BOI effect is observed in the entity condition but not in the action condition. It is unclear whether this difference reflects top-down modulation or the absence of bottom-up activation. EEG experiments were conducted to address this question.

Summary: This study investigated the neurophysiological changes in Parkinson's disease patients with and without the G2019S-LRRK2 gene mutation. The results showed that patients with the mutation performed better in cognitive tasks and exhibited more efficient early cognitive processes, which may contribute to their better cognitive performance.

Summary: This study examined the effect of reduced-dimensionality ICA in cleaning EEG data and found that PCA-based rdICA had a significant impact on the mean amplitude of early sensory components under certain conditions, but the impact on other aspects was inconsistent between datasets.

Summary: This study confirms the positive impact of self-initiated stimuli on working memory, accelerating early visual and attentional processes. Additionally, self-initiated stimuli are associated with increased attentional state, suggesting the role of temporal stimuli predictability.
