3-2-1, action! A combined motor control-temporal reproduction task shows intentions, motions, and consequences alter time perception (2023)
Journal Article
Spapé, M. M., Serrien, D. J., & Ravaja, N. (2023). 3-2-1, action! A combined motor control-temporal reproduction task shows intentions, motions, and consequences alter time perception. Heliyon, 9(9), Article e19728. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e19728

Time estimation is a necessary mechanism for most cognitive functions. Common theories of temporal cognition therefore position the sense of time as part of central cognitive processing, influenced by perception, memory, and affective state, and used...

Attention and Interhemispheric Communication: Implications for Language Dominance (2022)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & O'Regan, L. (2023). Attention and Interhemispheric Communication: Implications for Language Dominance. Neuroscience, 510, 21-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2022.12.006

Dominance of the left hemisphere for language processing is a prominent feature of brain organisation. Whereas structural models clarify the functional asymmetry due to direct access to local language circuits, dynamic models propose functional state...

The interactive functional biases of manual, language and attention systems (2022)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & O’Regan, L. (2022). The interactive functional biases of manual, language and attention systems. Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications / Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications - a SpringerOpen journal, 7(1), Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41235-022-00365-x

Hemispheric lateralisation is a fundamental principle of functional brain organisation. We studied two core cognitive functions - language and visuospatial attention - that typically lateralise in opposite cerebral hemispheres. In this work, we teste...

Space, time and number: common coding mechanisms and interactions between domains (2021)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2022). Space, time and number: common coding mechanisms and interactions between domains. Psychological Research, 86(2), 364-374. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00426-021-01503-8

Space, time and number are key dimensions that underlie how we perceive, identify and act within the environment. They are interconnected in our behaviour and brain. In this study, we examined interdependencies between these dimensions. To this end,... Read More about Space, time and number: common coding mechanisms and interactions between domains.

Stability and flexibility in cognitive control: Interindividual dynamics and task context processing (2019)
Journal Article
Serrien, D., & O'Regan, L. (2019). Stability and flexibility in cognitive control: Interindividual dynamics and task context processing. PLoS ONE, 14(7), Article e0219397. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0219397

Adaptive behaviour requires cognitive control for shielding current goals from distractors (stability) but at the same time for switching between alternative goals (flexibility). In this behavioural study, we examine the stability-flexibility balanc... Read More about Stability and flexibility in cognitive control: Interindividual dynamics and task context processing.

Individual differences and hemispheric asymmetries for language and spatial attention (2018)
Journal Article
O'Regan, L., & Serrien, D. J. (2018). Individual differences and hemispheric asymmetries for language and spatial attention. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 12, Article 380. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00380

Language and spatial processing are cognitive functions that are asymmetrically distributed across both cerebral hemispheres. In the present study, we compare left- and right-handers on word comprehension using a divided visual field paradigm and spa...

Manual dexterity: functional lateralisation patterns and motor efficiency (2016)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Sovijärvi-Spapé, M. M. (in press). Manual dexterity: functional lateralisation patterns and motor efficiency. Brain and Cognition, 108, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2016.07.005

Manual tasks are an important goal-directed ability. In this EEG work, we studied how handedness affects the hemispheric lateralisation patterns during performance of visually-driven movements with either hand. The neural correlates were assessed by...
