Some facilitatory effects of lorazepam on dynamic visual binding
(Springer, 2006)
Rationale: The benzodiazepine lorazepam enhances the potential for inhibitory (GABAA) synapses in the cortex to stabilize postsynaptic, excitatory activity by synchronizing discharge rates at frequencies of around 40 Hz. ...
Temporal tolerance circumscribed
(Taylor & Francis, 2005-05)
Chen's topological theory of perceptual organization includes the idea that equivalences in spatial organization and the organization of subjective experiences of time may be derived by means of common expression in terms ...
Dynamics of perceptual grouping: similarities between the organization of visual and auditory groups
(Taylor & Francis, 2001-06)
In vision, the Gestalt principles of perceptual organization are generally well understood and remain a subject of detailed analysis. However, the possibility for a unified theory of grouping across visual and auditory ...
Comparing temporal event-coding in patients with first episode psychosis and chronic schizophrenia
(Elsevier, 2008-06)
Cognitive impairments are a core feature of schizophrenia. It has been suggested that the underlying cause of the cognitive deficits in schizophrenia is an impaired ability to sequence mental activity in time. Various ...
An investigation of cognitive dysmetria in developmental dyslexia
(Pion Ltd, 2006)
An alternative to theories positing visual or phonological deficits, the 'cognitive dysmetria' hypothesis proposes the aetiology of dyslexia to take the form of a general functional coordination deficit or cognitive ...
Low-level temporal coding impairments in psychosis: Preliminary findings and recommendations for further studies.
(American Psychological Association, 2011)
We investigated whether difficulties with temporal event-coding, previously reported in patients with schizophrenia, are already present during first-episode psychosis (FEP). In this experiment, the subjective judgements ...
Prefrontal cortex and the generation of oscillatory visual persistence
(Cambridge University Press, 2003-12-01)
In this commentary, the formation of "pre-iconic" visual-prime persistence is described in the context of prime-specific, independent-component activation at prefrontal and posterior EEG-recording sites. Although this ...
Atypical behavioural effects of lorazepam: Clues to the design of novel therapies?
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
Aside from their pharmacokinetic properties, e.g. their speed of action and the duration of residual effects, benzodiazepines are still considered as equivalent in terms of their effects on cognition. Here we review evidence ...
Electrophysiological correlates of flicker-induced color hallucinations
(Elsevier, 2009-03)
In a recent study, Becker and Elliott [Becker, C., & Elliott, M. A. (2006). Flicker induced color and form: Interdependencies and relation to stimulation frequency and phase. Consciousness & Cognition, 15(1), 175-196] ...
Visual perception in a snapshot
(Springer, 2006-04-14)
To study visual perception in its sub-second scale of
time continues to be timely: we have more unsolved
puzzles than bits of a firm undisputable knowledge
about how our perceptions are created in a snapshot of
time. ...
