New paper on the ASMR phenomenon on youtube.
A Collaborative work with Gregor Thut, replicating Di Gregorio et al., 2022!
Effects of Rhythmic Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in the Alpha-Band on Visual Perception Depend on Deviation From Alpha-Peak Frequency: Faster Relative Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Alpha-Pace Improves Performance Coldea A, Veniero D, Morand S, Trajkovic J, Romei V, Harvey M, Thut G. Alpha-band oscillatory activity over occipito-parietal areas is involved in shaping perceptual and cognitive processes, with […]
Congratulations to Paolo Di Luzio for passing his PhD VIVA with honours!!!
Congratulations to Riccardo Bertaccini for his first publication!
Parietal alpha oscillatory peak frequency mediates the effect of practice on visuo-spatial working memory performance Bertaccini R, Ellena G, Macedo-Pascual J, Carusi F, Trajkovic J, Poch C, Romei V. Visuospatial working memory (WM) requires the activity of a spread network, including right parietal regions, to sustain storage capacity, attentional deployment, and active manipulation of information. […]
TMS/EEG Protocol and neural correlates of consciousness published
A TMS/EEG protocol for the causal assessment of the functions of the oscillatory brain rhythms in perceptual and cognitive processes Trajkovic J, Di Gregorio F, Marcantoni E, Thut G, Romei V The combined use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Electroencephalogram (EEG) and behavioral performance allows investigation of causal relationships between neural markers and their functional […]
A collaborative work with Elia Valentini just published in NeuroImage!
Assessing the specificity of the relationship between brain alpha oscillations and tonic pain Valentini E, Halder S, McInnerney D, Cooke J, Gyimes IL, Romei V Abstract Recent research proposed that the slowing of individual alpha frequency (IAF) could be an objective marker of pain. However, it is unclear whether this research can fully address the […]
Our latest effort published in Current Biology!
Tuning alpha rhythms to shape conscious visual perception Di Gregorio F, Trajkovic J, Roperti C, Marcantoni E, Di Luzio P, Avenanti A, Thut G, Romei V. Abstract It is commonly held that what we see and what we believe we see are overlapping phenomena. However, dissociations between sensory events and their subjective interpretation occur […]
Our new Review article just accepted for publication in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews!
Predictive waves in the autism-schizophrenia continuum: a novel biobehavioral model. Tarasi L, Trajkovic J, Diciotti S, di Pellegrino G, Ferri F, Ursino M, Romei V. Abstract The brain is a predictive machine. Converging data suggests a diametric predictive strategy from autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to schizophrenic spectrum disorders (SSD). Whereas perceptual inference in ASD is […]
Congratulations to Luca Tarasi for his first publication!
The directionality of fronto-posterior brain connectivity is associated with the degree of individual autistic traits. Tarasi L, Magosso E, Ricci G, Ursino M, Romei V. Abstarct Altered patterns of brain connectivity have been found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and associated with specific symptoms and behavioral features. Growing evidence suggests that the autistic peculiarities are […]
