There has been an increasing interest in identifying the biological underpinnings of human time perception, for which purpose research in non-human primates (NHP) is common. Although previous work, based on behaviour, suggests that similar mechanisms support time perception across species, the neural correlates of time estimation in humans and NHP have not been directly compared. In this study, we assess whether brain evoked responses during a time categorization task are similar across species.

Mendoza-Halliday, Major et al., 2024 ("") advocates a local field potential (LFP)-based approach to functional identification of cortical layers during "laminar" (simultaneous recordings from all cortical layers) multielectrode recordings in nonhuman primates (NHPs). describes a "ubiquitous spectrolaminar motif" in the primate neocortex: 1) 75-150 Hz power peaks in the supragranular layers, 2) 10-19 Hz power peaks in the infragranular layers and 3) the crossing point of their laminar power gradients identifies Layer 4 (L4).

A single pulse of TMS (spTMS) during the delay period of a double serial retrocuing working-memory task can briefly rescue decodability of an unprioritized memory item (UMI). This physiological phenomenon, which is paralleled in behavior by involuntary retrieval of the UMI, is carried by the beta frequency band, implicating beta-band dynamics in priority coding in working memory. We decomposed EEG data from 12 participants performing double serial retrocuing with concurrent delivery of spTMS using Spatially distributed PhAse Coupling Extraction.

Research into the role of brain oscillations in basic perceptual and cognitive functions has suggested that the alpha rhythm reflects functional inhibition while the beta rhythm reflects neural ensemble (re)activation. However, little is known regarding the generalization of these proposed fundamental operations to linguistic processes, such as speech comprehension and production. Here, we recorded magnetoencephalography in participants performing a novel rule-switching paradigm.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "S Haegens"

  • - S Haegens' research primarily focuses on the dynamics of brain oscillations and their relation to cognitive processes, including working memory, time perception, and language production, leveraging both human and non-human primate models.
  • - Recent findings reveal that specific oscillatory power patterns in local field potentials can be used to identify cortical layers in primates, highlighting a "ubiquitous spectrolaminar motif" that has implications for understanding cortical organization.
  • - The studies also indicate that both cardiac activity and external stimuli like transcranial magnetic stimulation can significantly influence cortical excitability and cognitive performance, suggesting a complex interplay between bodily states and brain functions.
