This fMRI study investigated the effect of seeing articulatory movements of a speaker while listening to a naturalistic narrative stimulus. It had the goal to identify regions of the language network showing multisensory enhancement under synchronous …
Biological motion imparts rich information related to the movement, actions, intentions and affective state of others, which can provide foundational support for various aspects of social cognition and behavior. Given that atypical social …
Freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) is associated with executive dysfunction and motor preparation deficits. We have recently shown that electrophysiological markers of motor preparation, rather than decision-making, …
As you walk, bike, or drive down the street, your brain puts together (integrates) sensory information from different sources. It uses what you see, what you hear, and how your head and body move to help you judge your own movements. As you move, …
During navigation of complex environments, the brain must continuously adapt to both external demands, such as fluctuating sensory inputs, and internal demands, such as engagement in a cognitively demanding task. Previous studies have demonstrated …
Younger adults integrate visual and vestibular cues to self-motion in a manner consistent with optimal integration; however, little is currently known about whether this process changes with older age. Our objective was to determine whether older …
Advancements in acquisition technology and signal-processing techniques have spurred numerous recent investi- gations on the electro-cortical signals generated during whole-body motion. This approach, termed Mobile Brain/ Body Imaging (MoBI), has the …
Objective: Freezing of gait (FOG) is a brief, episodic phenomenon affecting over half of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and leads to significant morbidity. The pathophysiology of FOG remains poorly understood but is associated with deficits in …
An emerging neuropathological theory of Autism, referred to here as the neural unreliability thesis, proposes greater varability in moment-to-moment cortical representation of environmental events, such that the system shows general instability in …
