Unraveling how the adolescent brain deals with criticism using dynamic causal modeling Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sensitivity to criticism, which can be defined as a negative evaluation that a person receives from someone else, is considered a risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders in adolescents. They may be more vulnerable to social evaluation than adults and exhibit more inadequate emotion regulation strategies such as rumination. The neural network involved in dealing with criticism in adolescents may serve as a biomarker for ...
Working it out : can an acute exercise bout alleviate memory bias, rumination and negative mood? Ghent University
Single-trial ERP quantification using neural networks Ghent University
Traditional approaches to quantify components in event-related potentials (ERPs) are based on averaging EEG responses. However, this method ignores the trial-to-trial variability in the component’s latency, resulting in a smeared version of the component and underestimates of its amplitude. Different techniques to quantify ERP components in single trials have therefore been described in literature. In this study, two approaches based on neural ...
Effects of healthy aging and gender on the electrophysiological correlates of semantic sentence comprehension : the development of Dutch normative data Ghent University
Purpose: The clinical use of event-related potentials in patients with language disor-ders is increasingly acknowledged. For this purpose, normative data should be avail-able. Within this context, healthy aging and gender effects on the electrophysiologi-cal correlates of semantic sentence comprehension were investigated.Method: One hundred and ten healthy subjects (55 men and 55 women), divided among three age groups (young, middle aged, and ...
Aging and sex effects on phoneme perception : an exploratory mismatch negativity and P300 investigation Ghent University
Long-term elektrofysiologische outcome van fonologische en semantische taalverwerking bij volwassenen die op kinderleeftijd een niet-aangeboren hersenletsel opliepen Ghent University
De klinische manifestatie van verworven kinderafasie ten gevolge van een niet-aangeboren hersenletsel (NAH) is uitgebreid beschreven, zowel in de acute als chronische fase. Weinig informatie is echter beschikbaar over de mate waarin deze taalstoornissen, verworven op kinderleeftijd, persisteren op volwassen leeftijd. Deze studie heeft als doel om restafasie ten gevolge van een NAH op kinderleeftijd zowel klinisch als elektrofysiologisch te ...
Identifying neural networks involved in phoneme categorization through EEG source imaging and functional connectivity analysis Ghent University
Neuroplasticiteit van fonologie en semantiek tijdens de afasie-revalidatie : een multiple case studie Ghent University
De verwerking van taal kan objectief onderzocht worden aan de hand van de ‘event-related potential’ (ERP) techniek. ERPs weerspiegelen de hersenactiviteit uitgelokt tijdens specifieke taaltaken. In deze multiple case studie werd nagegaan of talige ERPs 1) verschillen tussen personen met afasie en gezonde controles, 2) variëren al naargelang het afasietype en 3) beïnvloed worden door logopedische therapie. Drie personen met chronische afasie ...
Effect of healthy aging and gender on syntactic input processing : a P600 event-related potential study Ghent University
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of healthy aging and gender, as well as the interaction, thereof, on syntactic input processing during sentence comprehension. This was achieved through the recording of the P600 event-related potential. Method: Sixty Flemish (native speakers of Dutch) participants (30 men and 30 women), equally distributed into three age groups (young, middle-aged, and older adults), were subjected to a ...
