TMS over the supramarginal gyrus delays selection of appropriate grasp orientation during reaching and grasping tools for use (2018)
Journal Article

Tool use, a ubiquitous part of human behaviour, requires manipulation control and knowledge of tool purpose. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological research posit that these two processes are supported by separate brain regions, ventral premotor and inf...

Lateralized occipito-temporal N1 responses to images of salient distorted finger postures (2017)
Journal Article

For humans as social beings, other people’s hands are highly visually conspicuous. Exceptionally striking are hands in other than natural configuration which have been found to elicit distinct brain activation. Here we studied response strength and l...

N1 responses to images of hands in occipito-temporal event-related potentials (2017)
Journal Article

Hands, much like faces, convey social information, instructions and intentions to an observer. While the neural processes of face perception have been widely studied, it was only recently that fMRI identified occipito-temporal areas sensitive to stat...

Synchronization of fronto-parietal beta and theta networks as a signature of visual awareness in neglect (2016)
Journal Article

In the neglect syndrome, the perceptual deficit for contra-lesional hemi-space is increasingly viewed as a dysfunction of fronto-parietal cortical networks, the disruption of which has been described in neuroanatomical and hemodynamic studies. Here w... Read More about Synchronization of fronto-parietal beta and theta networks as a signature of visual awareness in neglect.

Hedonic context modulates risky choices and reward responses in amygdala and dorsal striatum (2015)
Journal Article

The hedonic context of the environment can alter an individual’s emotional states and consequently their risk taking. Here we reveal the brain mechanisms underlying music-induced unstable risk preferences using functional MRI (fMRI). Subjects listene...

Kamin blocking is associated with reduced medial-frontal gyrus activation: implications for prediction error abnormality in schizophrenia (2012)
Journal Article

The following study used 3-T functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural signature of Kamin blocking. Kamin blocking is an associative learning phenomenon seen where prior association of a stimulus (A) with an outcome block...
