How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Current hypotheses about language processing advocate an integral relationship between encoding of temporal information and linguistic processing in the brain. All such explanations must accommodate the evident ability of the perceptual system to process both slow and fast time scales in speech. However most cortical neurons are limited in their ca...
Objective: This study investigated auditory cortical processing of linguistically-relevant temporal modulations in the developing brains of young children.
Methods: Auditory envelope following responses to white noise amplitude modulated at rates of 1 - 80 Hz in healthy children (aged 3-5 years) and adults were recorded using a paediatric magnetoen...
Background: Cortical oscillatory activity in the beta frequency band (13-30 Hz) is associated with voluntary movement and may be altered in motor disorders such as stroke.
Methods: We used a multimodal case-series approach to investigate movement-related beta oscillations, cortical excitability and upper-limb motor-function in 10 chronic stroke-p...
Recent theories of speech perception propose that the speech envelope (the overall waveform of the speech signal) plays a crucial role in speech perception by aligning brain excitability patterns with the intensity fluctuations of the speech sounds. We tested two main hypotheses derived from these theories: (1) That the sound envelope provides cruc...
The temporal variations of amplitude in sound waves carry information of considerable biological importance. The ability of the auditory system to lock on to, follow and encode information at different amplitude modulation rates provides much insight into the temporal resolving powers of the system and the degree of integration of temporal informat...
There is considerable evidence that, when recalling past events, Westerners exhibit greater episodic specificity than East Asians and women exhibit greater episodic specificity than men. Yet it is unknown whether the same cultural and gender differences are true for future events. In the present study 209 European American and Chinese young adults...
Abstract The Chinese communist party dissolved powerful local clans into modular individuals loyal to the central state and easily mobilized for government projects. Now migrants must redefine home and family for an era where government safety nets are no longer reliable and mobility yields economic returns. We discuss female migrant factory worker...
By considering the effects of two salient factors, the actor's intention and the event consequence, we explored the differences between Chinese and Americans' attribution behavior. We then investigated the combined influence of thinking style and the other two cognitive variables using the holistic thinking style cognitive framework. Results indica...
Young adults in the United States, Croatia, and China described personal episodes of times when they felt especially good or bad about themselves. These self-esteem memories were either recent (episodes that occurred during the previous 4 weeks) or remote (episodes that occurred between the ages of 10 and 15). Systematic content differences between...
