Summary: The study found negative implicit attitudes towards smoking in both smokers and non-smokers at 600-700 ms post-stimulus based on prolonged reaction times to smoking-related pictures when coupled with positive evaluative words. However, only non-smokers showed a delay in the N200 component in the incongruent condition (300-400 ms post-stimulus), indicating ambivalent or even positive implicit attitudes towards smoking in the smoker group at this time point.

Summary: This study used sweep visual evoked potentials to evaluate spatial resolution based on the recognition of human faces and written words. Unlike conventional visual acuity tests, the most sensitive electrode was not found at the Oz electrode. Thresholds for face and word recognition corresponded to the expected visual acuity level for normally sighted participants, and even exceeded expectations for some participants.

Summary: This study is the first ERP megastudy in traditional Chinese word recognition. The results suggest that characters and words are accessed simultaneously in Chinese word recognition.

Summary: This study investigated alterations in brain activity during inhibition tasks in children with ADHD compared to typically developing children. The results revealed reduced activity in frontal areas and increased activity in the anterior part of the caudate nucleus in children with ADHD, which may contribute to inhibition and attention deficits in these individuals. Additionally, decreased contribution of the dorsal ACC and increased activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, insula, and cerebellum were associated with changes in evoked potential components in ADHD.

Summary: This study investigates the role of eye gaze direction in infants' word segmentation abilities. The results show that infants can segment words from audio-visual speech regardless of the speaker's eye contact. However, the speaker's gaze direction does seem to influence the processing of familiar words.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the magnocellular and parvocellular systems on visual word recognition using a masked priming paradigm. The results suggest that M and P information both contribute to early neural processes underlying visual word recognition.

Summary: Over the past ten years, the availability and use of mobile electroencephalography (mEEG) in research have significantly increased. The question of how many electrodes an mEEG system needs for research-quality data collection remains unresolved.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of insufficient sleep on brain information transmission, finding that sleep deprivation significantly decreased phase-amplitude coupling between frequency bands in the brain, which was correlated with inhibitory control performance.

Summary: Spelling errors are prevalent in all writing systems. Previous studies focused on the phonological plausibility of errors, whereas this study found that spelling errors occur in naturally produced written language. Through event-related potentials (ERP) recording, the study found that the amplitude of P200 was more positive for correctly spelled words than for misspelled words, and in the 350-500-ms time window, there was a more negative response for misspelled words in certain brain regions.

Summary: This study provides evidence for access to the semantic properties of constituents in German noun-noun compounds by manipulating the animacy of compound modifiers and heads. The results show additive effects of constituent animacy, with a higher number of animate constituents leading to gradually attenuated N400 amplitudes. The implications of these findings for current models of complex word recognition and stimulus construction practices in psycho- and neurolinguistic research are discussed.

Summary: Learning to write involves integrating motor production and visual perception to develop orthographic representations. This study examines the effect of hand movement training on neural correlates for L2 Chinese and L2 English readers. The results show that drawing facilitates visual word recognition in Chinese compared to viewing. These findings suggest that hand movement strengthens neural processing and improves behavioral performance in Chinese character recognition for L2 Chinese learners and English word recognition for L2 English learners. Furthermore, the N170 amplitude during drawing is positively correlated with N400 amplitudes, indicating that early visual word recognition is predictive of later comprehension.

Summary: This study found that High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve cognitive performance in individuals with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) and observed changes in brain oscillations through electroencephalography (EEG). These findings have significance in guiding future research and selecting patients who may respond optimally to treatment.

Summary: Cross-condition comparisons on neurodevelopmental conditions are central in neuro-diversity research. In the realm of visual perception, the performance of participants with different category-specific disorders such as developmental prosopagnosia (problems with faces) and dyslexia (problems with words) have contributed to understanding of perceptual processes involved in word and face recognition.

Summary: This study used machine-learning techniques to decode EEG signals and revealed the competition mechanism and temporal dynamics in spoken word recognition. The results indicated that competitors were suppressed around 500 msec. This simple and effective approach contributes to understanding lexical development in various clinical disorders.

Summary: This study proposes a multi-penalized state-space model for analyzing unobserved dynamics, using a data-driven regularization method. Novel algorithms are developed to solve the model, and a cross-validation method is introduced to evaluate regularization parameters. The effectiveness of this method is validated through simulations and real data analysis, enabling a more accurate exploration of cognitive brain functions.
