Semantic congruency modulates the speed-up of multisensory responses.

Responses to multisensory signals are often faster compared to their unisensory components. This speed-up is typically attributed to target redundancy in that a correct response can be triggered by one or the other signal. In addition, semantic congruency of signals can also modulate multisensory responses; however, the contribution of semantic content is difficult to isolate as its manipulation commonly changes signal redundancy as well.

Towards a conflict account of déjà vu: The role of memory errors and memory expectation conflict in the experience of déjà vu.

Déjà vu can be defined as conflict between a subjective evaluation of familiarity and a concurrent evaluation of novelty. Accounts of the déjà vu experience have not explicitly referred to a "conflict account of déjà vu" despite the acceptance of conflict-based definitions of déjà vu and relatively recent neuroimaging work that has implicated brain areas associated with conflict as underpinning the experience. Conflict monitoring functioning follows a similar age-related trajectory to déjà vu with a peak in young adulthood and a subsequent age-related decline.

Adjusting Acute Kidney Injury Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Urine Output Criterion for Predicted Body Weight Improves Prediction of Hospital Mortality.

Background: Based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definitions, urine output, serum creatinine, and need for kidney replacement therapy are used for staging acute kidney injury (AKI). Currently, AKI staging correlates strongly with mortality and can be used as a predictive tool. However, factors associated with the development of AKI may affect its predictive ability.

Dissociating neural activity associated with the subjective phenomenology of monocular stereopsis: An EEG study.

The subjective phenomenology associated with stereopsis, of solid tangible objects separated by a palpable negative space, is conventionally thought to be a by-product of the derivation of depth from binocular disparity. However, the same qualitative impression has been reported in the absence of disparity, e.g.

Exploring the role of self/other perspective-shifting in theory of mind with behavioural and EEG measures.

Theory of Mind (ToM) refers to the ability to compute and attribute mental states to oneself and other people. This study sought to assess the extent of differentiation between "Self" and "Other" in ToM processes, and, of particular importance, the key role of perspective-shifting between "Self" and "Other". Utilizing a newly established false-belief paradigm in a matched design, healthy adult participants completed the task whilst behavioural measures (response times, error rates) and electrophysiological (EEG) recordings were taken.
