Previous studies demonstrated that increases in the theta frequency band with concomitant
decreases in the alpha/beta frequency band indicate successful memory formation. However…

It is widely assumed that the local and global levels of hierarchical stimuli are processed more
efficiently in the left and right cerebral hemispheres, respectively. However, corresponding …

Although we have the impression that visual information flows continuously from our sensory
channels, recent studies indicate that this is likely not the case. Rather, we sample visual …

This article presents and tests the authors' integration hypothesis of global/local processing,
which proposes that at early stages of processing, the identities of global and local units of a …

Visual attention can be directed either to the global features of a display or to the local
elements that make up the display. We investigated whether oscillatory brain responses to …

Neural synchronization between distant cell assemblies is crucial for the formation of new
memories. To date, however, it remains unclear whether higher-order brain regions can …

The method of loci is one, if not the most, efficient mnemonic encoding strategy. This spatial
mnemonic combines the core cognitive processes commonly linked to medial temporal lobe (…

Our ability to multitask—focus on multiple tasks simultaneously—is one of the most critical
functions of our cognitive system. This capability has shown to have relations to cognition and …

Human behavior is guided by expectations that facilitate perception of upcoming events or
reaction to them. In natural settings expectations are often implicitly based on time, eg, when …

Listeners can recognize familiar human voices from variable utterances, suggesting the
acquisition of speech-invariant voice representations during familiarization. However, the …
