Summary: The feedback concealed information test (fCIT) is a novel form of CIT that provides participants with feedback on their memory concealment performance. It has been found to be highly efficient in detecting information concealment and can still work effectively in the presence of mental countermeasures.

Summary: This article explores the brain's response to expressives in sentences using ERPs. The study finds that there is no difference between expressives and descriptives in the adjective late-positivity component (LPC), suggesting reduced social threat and a 'wait-and-see' strategy employed by readers to interpret expressives. Nouns preceded by expressives elicit a larger frontal P200 response and reduced N400 and LPC responses compared to nouns preceded by descriptives.

Summary: Refusal is considered a face-threatening act, and in Japanese, native speakers prefer to use unfinished sentences for indirect refusal. This study used ERPs to investigate the neural substrates for perceiving unfinished sentences as a face-threatening act between native and non-native speakers, as well as the effects of individual mentalizing ability.

Summary: This study analyzed the brain response to Chinese name stimuli and found that the passive mode using three Chinese characters as non-target stimuli can be a good alternative to the active mode. It also found that the brain response induced by the target stimulus has better interaction when three Chinese characters are used as the non-target stimulus.

Summary: Understanding the relationship between attachment style, emotional processing, and neural responses is essential for understanding the diverse functioning of individuals in social and emotional contexts. While previous research has contributed to our understanding of how attachment style influences emotional processing, there is still a gap in the literature when it comes to studying emotional feedback using event-related potentials (ERPs). This study aims to address this gap by examining the effects of attachment style and feedback valence on ERP components.

Summary: The extraction of technical information from patents or technical literature is valuable yet challenging, requiring new approaches to address the complexity and scarcity of data. This study aims to create automatic training sets for NER systems using the nature and structure of patents, to improve performance on technical documents and potentially generalize to other entities and documents.

Summary: Unhealthy food marketing may have an impact on response inhibition, making it harder to maintain healthy eating behaviors. Individuals with disordered eating may be more susceptible to altered inhibition responses to food stimuli, making them more vulnerable to the effects of unhealthy food marketing. After watching food commercials, young women's behavioral and electrophysiological responses to food stimuli during a stop-signal task may be influenced, with individuals with disordered eating being less responsive to food marketing compared to those without disordered eating.

Summary: This study uses eye-tracking experimentation to explore the role of contextual information in Chinese metonymy processing. The results show that readers take longer to arrive at a literal interpretation than at a metonymic one when the logical relationship between the preceding contextual information and the target word is weak. Additionally, both the preceding and the spillover contextual information contribute to metonymy processing, especially when the spillover information does more to the metonymy than it does to the literal meaning.

Summary: This study examines the social cognitive variables that drive active information seeking and systematic processing using the Risk Information Seeking and Processing (RISP) model in the context of recent childhood vaccine scandals in China. A significant interaction between relevant channel beliefs and perceived information gathering capacity was found, suggesting that both information quality and accessibility to information channels play a role in influencing information seeking behavior. This finding has theoretical and practical implications for other science communication issues.

Summary: The study found that high binge-watchers showed less differentiation between gains and losses at the neural level and recruited less brain activity during inhibition and stopping processes. This indicates a potentially problematic interaction between outcome processing and inhibitory functions in binge-watchers.

Summary: Research suggests that individuals with absolute pitch (AP) may experience aversion towards out-of-tune tones, leading to poorer performance when processing mistuned musical stimuli and pleasant pictures. Their EEG exhibited a delay in integrating musical stimuli, indicating altered affinity towards pitch-label associations.

Summary: The legitimacy of Android apps accessing private information depends on whether the app provides sufficient semantics to justify the access. Existing analysis methods are limited to coarse-grained app-level analysis and cannot address the correctness of specific app behaviors under different runtime contexts. To address this, we propose FlowCog, an automated system that extracts semantics related to information flows and correlates them with given flows.

Summary: There is a clear distinction between object and scene processing in the human high-level visual cortex, with evidence showing that TMS can selectively target and impair object recognition in the lateral occipital complex (LOC) and scene recognition in the occipital place area (OPA). These effects are stable over time and consistent across individual objects and scenes, supporting the distinction as an organizing principle of human high-level visual cortex.

Summary: Objects can be recognized based on intrinsic features, but visibility may be limited in daily life. Object recognition is still accurate within typical scene contexts, supported by parallel processing and feedback mechanisms in the brain.

Summary: The study found that the electric field strength in the lower dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was most strongly related to improved working memory performance during tDCS stimulation of the left prefrontal cortex. A new tDCS montage was proposed to maximize the electric field strength in that brain region, which could benefit future studies aiming to affect working memory function.

Summary: The study utilized real-time targeting of mu and beta rhythms to non-invasively probe motor corticospinal excitability. Results showed significant phase-dependent modulation of cortico-spinal output by both mu and beta rhythms, with a double dissociation pattern observed. Mu power was positively correlated with corticospinal output, while power and phase effects did not interact, suggesting independence between these aspects of oscillations.

Summary: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can modulate human neural activity and behavior, making it a potential tool for cognitive research and brain disorder therapies. It generates oscillating electric fields in the brain that can influence neural spike timing, local neural oscillatory power, and cross-frequency and cross-area coherence. tACS affects cognitive performance by modulating brain rhythms, synchronization, and metabolic activity. It also shows promising results in alleviating psychiatric and neurological symptoms by targeting abnormal neural oscillations. We summarize the mechanisms of tACS, its cognitive applications, and novel developments for personalized stimulation.

Summary: This study used resting-state functional connectivity analysis to investigate the neural pathways between internet addiction tendency and sleep quality, and found a positive correlation between internet addiction tendency and the strength of functional connectivity within the default-mode network. Furthermore, internet addiction tendency mediated the relationship between these functional couplings and sleep quality.

Summary: In this study, electroencephalogram data was analyzed to compare the resting network activation between heavy media multitaskers (HMM) and light media multitaskers (LMM). The results showed that HMM had weaker activation in the attention network, but enhanced activation in the salience network. They also had an enhanced visual network and may feel less comfortable during resting-state periods. This suggests that chronic media multitasking leads to a bottom-up or stimulus-driven allocation of attention for HMM, while LMM use a top-down approach.
