• Alertness fluctuations when performing a task modulate cortical evoked responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Noreika, Valdas; Kamke, Marc R.; Chennu, Srivas; Bekinschtein, Tristan A.; Mattingley, Jason B. (2020)
    Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been widely used in human cognitive neuroscience to examine the causal role of distinct cortical areas in perceptual, cognitive and motor functions. However, it is widely ...

  • Beyond imagination: hypnotic visual hallucination induces greater lateralised brain activity than visual mental imagery 

    Lanfranco, Renzo C.; Rivera-Rei, Álvaro; Huepe, David; Ibáñez, Agustín; Canales-Johnson, Andrés F. (2021)
    Hypnotic suggestions can produce a broad range of perceptual experiences, including hallucinations. Visual hypnotic hallucinations differ in many ways from regular mental images. For example, they are usually experienced ...

  • Broadband dynamics rather than frequency-specific rhythms underlie prediction error in the primate auditory cortex 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Teixeira Borges, Ana F.; Komatsu, Misako; Fujii, Naotaka; Fahrenfort, Johannes; Miller, Kai J.; Noreika, Valdas (2021)
    Detection of statistical irregularities, measured as a prediction error response, is fundamental to the perceptual monitoring of the environment. We studied whether prediction error response is associated with neural ...

  • Corrigendum: dissociable neural information dynamics of perceptual integration and differentiation during bistable perception 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Billig, Alexander; Olivares, Francisco; Gonzalez, Andrés; Garcia, María; Silva, Walter; Vaucheret, Esteban; Ciraolo, Carlos; Mikulan, Ezequiel; Ibanez, Agustín; Huepe, David; Noreika, Valdas; Chennu, Srivas; Bekinschtein, Tristan A. (2020)
  • Decreased alertness reconfigures cognitive control networks 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Beerendonk, Lola; Blain, Salome; Kitaoka, Shin; Ezquerro-Nassar, Alejandro; Nuiten, Stijn; Fahrenfort, Johannes; van Gaal, Simon; Bekinschtein, Tristan A. (2020)
    Humans' remarkable capacity to flexibly adapt their behavior based on rapid situational changes is termed cognitive control. Intuitively, cognitive control is thought to be affected by the state of alertness; for example, ...

  • Dissociable neural information dynamics of perceptual integration and differentiation during bistable perception 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Billig, Alexander; Olivares, Francisco; Gonzalez, Andrés; Garcia, María; Silva, Walter; Vaucheret, Esteban; Ciraolo, Carlos; Mikulan, Ezequiel; Ibanez, Agustín; Huepe, David; Noreika, Valdas; Chennu, Srivas; Bekinschtein, Tristan A. (2020)
    At any given moment, we experience a perceptual scene as a single whole and yet we may distinguish a variety of objects within it. This phenomenon instantiates two properties of conscious perception: integration and ...

  • EEG functional connectivity metrics wPLI and wSMI account for distinct types of brain functional interactions 

    Imperatori, Laura S.; Betta, Monica; Cecchetti, Luca; Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Ricciardi, Emiliano; Siclari, Francesca; Pietrini, Pietro; Chennu, Srivas; Bernardi, Giulio (2019)
    The weighted Phase Lag Index (wPLI) and the weighted Symbolic Mutual Information (wSMI) represent two robust and widely used methods for MEG/EEG functional connectivity estimation. Interestingly, both methods have been ...

  • Feedback information transfer in the human brain reflects bistable perception in the absence of report 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Beerendonk, Lola; Chennu, Srivas; Davidson, Matthew J.; Ince, Robin A.; van Gaal, Simon (2023)
    In the search for the neural basis of conscious experience, perception and the cognitive processes associated with reporting perception are typically confounded as neural activity is recorded while participants explicitly ...

  • In your phase: neural phase synchronisation underlies visual imagery of faces 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Lanfranco, Renzo C.; Morales, Juan Pablo; Martínez-Pernía, David; Valdés, Joaquín; Ezquerro-Nassar, Alejandro; Rivera-Rei, Álvaro; Ibanez, Agustín; Chennu, Srivas; Bekinschtein, Tristan A.; Huepe, David; Noreika, Valdas (2021)
    Mental imagery is the process through which we retrieve and recombine information from our memory to elicit the subjective impression of “seeing with the mind’s eye”. In the social domain, we imagine other individuals while ...

  • Neural dynamics of associative learning during human sleep 

    Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Merlo, Emiliano; Bekinschtein, Tristan A.; Arzi, Anat (2020)
    Recent evidence indicates that humans can learn entirely new information during sleep. To elucidate the neural dynamics underlying sleep-learning, we investigated brain activity during auditory–olfactory discriminatory ...

  • Preserved sensory processing but hampered conflict detection when stimulus input is task-irrelevant 

    Nuiten, Stijn; Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Beerendonk, Lola; Nanuashvili, Nutsa; Fahrenfort, Johannes; Bekinschtein, Tristan A.; van Gaal, Simon (2021)
    Conflict detection in sensory input is central to adaptive human behavior. Perhaps unsurprisingly, past research has shown that conflict may even be detected in the absence of conflict awareness, suggesting that conflict ...

  • Principles for optimal window size selection for infant and adult EEG connectivity analysis 

    Santamaria, Lorena; Canales-Johnson, Andrés F.; Noreika, Valdas; Leong, Victorial; Facultad de Ciencias De La Salud (2023)
    Neural connectivity analysis is often performed on continuous data that has been discretized into temporal windows of a fixed length. However, the selection of an optimal window length is non-trivial, and depends on the ...

  • Principles of large-scale neural interactions 

    Vinck, Martin; Uran, Cem; Spyropoulos, Georgios; Broggini, Ana Clara; Schneider, Marius; Canales-Johnson, Andrés F. (2023)
    What mechanisms underlie flexible inter-areal communication in the cortex? We consider four mechanisms for temporal coordination and their contributions to communication: (1) Oscillatory synchronization (communication-th ...
