Emotion regulation is aimed to control emotional states through various strategies, among which reappraisal and suppression have been extensively studied up to date. Nevertheless, physiological correlates of this process are still debatable, since findings on both brain and peripheral activity are contradictory. In the present work, we were first to investigate neural sources and inter-subject ...

Existing research indicates involvement of brain systems underpinning spatial abilities in processing emotive semantics in L1: positive emotions are associated with the right part of space, negative ones with the left. Some suggest similar sensorimotor activations in L1 and L2. Others indicate attenuated processing of L2 emotional words. Aims: We investigated differences in sensorimotor biases ...

The neural mechanisms underlying the involvement of different working memory components remain unclear. We investigated oscillatory activity during verbal-spatial WM tasks involving either simple retention or complex manipulation. Using MEG, we examined differences in sensor-level activity across conditions in 29 participants. No significant differences were found between simple verbal and spatial storage. Complex tasks elicited ...

In recent years, numerous studies have pointed to the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate and analyze expressions of natural language. However, the question of whether AI is capable of actually interpreting human language, rather than imitating its understanding, remains open. Metaphors, being an integral part of human language, as both a common figure ...

According to the embodied cognition view, abstract concepts, including emotional ones, are grounded in our sensorimotor experience of the physical environment. For example, emotionally positive words (happiness) are associated with the upper part of vertical space, whereas the negative ones (desperation) are linked with the lower parts of physical space. Interactions between different representational domains are ...

The so-called cross-modal correspondence effect is a special case of multisensory integration; it manifests as faster and more accurate responses to simultaneously presented stimuli of different modalities that are congruent in certain features (e.g., high-pitch sound — high spatial location), as opposed to incongruent ones. This study assessed the extent to which individual emotional characteristics ...

Cross-modal correspondence effect (i.e., facilitated processing of congruent stimuli from different modalities) occurs not only when simple multi-modal sensory stimuli are processed together, but also during their simultaneous processing with words with emotional and spatial connotations. We tested a hypothesis that the magnitude of cross-modal correspondence effect, arising from concurrent processing of basic sensory and verbal stimuli, is differentially ...

Language impairment is comorbid in most children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but its neural mechanisms are still poorly understood. Some studies hypothesize that the atypical low-level sensory perception in the auditory cortex accounts for the abnormal language development in these children. One of the potential non-invasive measures of such low-level perception can be the ...

Anxiety has been linked to altered belief formation and uncertainty estimation, impacting learning. Identifying the neural processes underlying these changes is important for understanding brain pathology. Here, we show that oscillatory activity in the medial prefrontal, anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex (mPFC, ACC, OFC) explains anxiety-related learning alterations. In a magnetoencephalography experiment, two groups of ...

A technique “Pinks and Greens” was designed for a cognitive psychology workshop on embodied cognition. It is a game with multifactorial interactions and transformations of the participants with green marks into the participants with pink marks, and vice versa. It is created in the tradition of “live chess”: several participants from the class are solving ...

Large-scale cortical beta (β) oscillations were implicated in the learning processes, but their exact role is debated. We used MEG to explore the dynamics of movement-related β-oscillations while 22 adults learned, through trial and error, novel associations between four auditory pseudowords and movements of four limbs. As learning proceeded, spatial–temporal characteristics of β-oscillations accompanying cue-triggered ...

One of the ways to comprehend mental abilities of individuals is to examine their underlying neural processes
and mechanisms. To explore the role of cingulate cortical neurons in “mental rehearsal“ immediately before every trial of appetitive
instrumental task in well-trained animals, we analyzed recorded single-unit activity in relation to the task-relevant events during
task trials and during delay ...

Embodied cognition theory suggests that motor dysfunctions affect cognition. We examined this hypothesis by inspecting whether cerebral processing of movies, featuring both goal-directed movements and content without humans, differ between children with congenital motor dysfunction and healthy controls. Electroencephalography was recorded from 23 healthy children and 23 children with limited or absent arm movement due ...

The reliable identification of the irritative zone (IZ) is a prerequisite for the correct clinical evaluation of medically refractory patients affected by epilepsy. Given the complexity of MEG data, visual analysis of epileptiform neurophysiological activity is highly time consuming and might leave clinically relevant information undetected. We recorded and analyzed the interictal activity from seven ...

Unlike concrete words related to sensory perception (e.g., hear, sun), abstract words (including the words with temporal semantics, e.g., year, tomorrow) do not have direct embodied sensory correlates. Nevertheless, existing research indicates that abstract concepts’ representations make regular reference to sensorimotor processes, e.g., visual perception. For example, regular expressions such as “the future is ahead” or “the flow of ...

Neural mechanisms leading to formation of an associative link between action words and respective movements remain largely unknown. In motor learning, the post-movement increase in beta oscillations (BO) is implicated in the strengthening of the just learned motor program (Tan et al., 2014). Here, we tested hypothesis that the post-movement BO similarly promote a newly ...
