Laloyaux, Julien; Hirnstein, Marco; Specht, Karsten; Giersch, Anne; Larøi, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction Individuals experiencing auditory hallucinations (AH) tend to perceive voices when exposed to random noise.

Anxiety and depression, which ... -
Gender stereotypes and incremental beliefs in STEM and non-STEM students in three countries: relationships with performance in cognitive tasks
Moè, Angelica; Hausmann, Markus; Hirnstein, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Women’s underrepresentation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) has been linked, among others, to gender stereotypes and ability-related beliefs as well as gender differences in specific cognitive ... -
Gender-stereotyping and cognitive sex differences in mixed- and same-sex groups
Hirnstein, Marco; Andrews, Lisa Coloma; Hausmann, Markus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-13)Sex differences in specific cognitive abilities are well documented, but the biological, psychological, and sociocultural interactions that may underlie these differences are largely unknown. We examined within a biopsychosocial ... -
How brain asymmetry relates to performance – a large-scale dichotic listening study
Hirnstein, Marco; Hugdahl, Kenneth; Hausmann, Markus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-02)All major mental functions including language, spatial and emotional processing are lateralized but how strongly and to which hemisphere is subject to inter- and intraindividual variation. Relatively little, however, is ... -
Language lateralisation measured across linguistic and national boundaries

We used the ... -
A multimodal study of the effects of tDCS on dorsolateral prefrontal and temporo-parietal areas during dichotic listening
Marquardt, Lynn Anne; Kusztrits, Isabella; Craven, Alexander R.; Hugdahl, Kenneth; Specht, Karsten; Hirnstein, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The underlying neural mechanisms of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), especially beyond the primary motor cortex, remain unclear.

No sex difference in an everyday multitasking paradigm
Hirnstein, Marco; Larøi, Frank; Laloyaux, Julien Freddy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03)According to popular beliefs and anecdotes, females best males when handling multiple tasks at the same time.
