Responses to a sensory stimulus are inhibited by a preceding stimulus; if the two stimuli are
identical, paired-pulse suppression (PPS) occurs; if the preceding stimulus is too weak to …

The face fusiform area (FFA) plays a pivotal role in face recognition, yet the precise timeline
of its activity remains debated. Using EEG, we conducted three experiments to investigate …

In this study, the cortical dynamics of the visual change detection process were investigated
using an oddball paradigm similar to that used in auditory mismatch negativity studies …

Increased intracranial pressure and ventriculomegaly in children with hydrocephalus are
known to have adverse effects on white matter structure. This study seeks to investigate the …

Detecting a visual change was suggested to relate closely to the visual sensory memory
formed by visual stimuli before the occurrence of the change, because change detection …

Background Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle response is an important tool to
investigate the biology of schizophrenia. PPI is usually observed by use of a startle reflex …

Background The rapid detection of sensory change is important to survival. The process
should relate closely to memory since it requires that the brain separate a new stimulus from …

The quick detection of dynamic changes in multisensory environments is essential to survive
dangerous events and orient attention to informative events. Previous studies have identified …

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle is a measure of inhibitory function in which a weak leading
stimulus suppresses the startle response to an intense stimulus. Usually, startle blink …

Neuroimaging research in surgically treated pediatric hydrocephalus patients remains
challenging due to the artifact caused by programmable shunt. Our previous study has …
