Suppression, Maintenance, and Surprise: Neuronal Correlates of Predictive Processing Specialization for Musical Rhythm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Auditory repetition suppression and omission activation are opposite neural phenomena and manifestations of principles of predictive processing. Repetition suppression describes the temporal decrease in neural activity ... -
First-Episode Patients Report Cognitive Difficulties in Executive Functioning 1 Year After Initial Episode of Major Depressive Disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-31)Objective: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is associated with cognitive impairment in general, and Executive Functioning (EF) in particular, even in remitted phase of the disorder, suggesting residual cognitive symptoms. ... -

The Impact of Sexualized Video Game Content and Cognitive Load on State Rape Myth Acceptance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The potential negative impact of sexualized video games on attitudes toward women is an important issue. Studies that have examined this issue are rare and contain a number of limitations. Therefore, it largely remains ... -
Olfactory hallucinations in a population-based sample
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Olfactory hallucinations referring to olfactory perceptions in the absence of chemical stimuli, occur in non-clinical and clinical populations. Few studies have investigated their prevalence in the general population and ... -
Cognitive change and antipsychotic medications: Results from a pragmatic rater-blind RCT
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cognitive impairment is a core aspect of psychotic disorders and difficult to treat. Atypical antipsychotics (AAs) might have differential effects on cognitive impairment, but rigid study designs and selective sampling ... -
Comparison of Multivendor Single-Voxel MR Spectroscopy Data Acquired in Healthy Brain at 26 Sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: The hardware and software differences between MR vendors and individual sites influence the quantification of MR spectroscopy data. An analysis of a large data set may help to better understand sources of the ... -
Correlates of Hallucinatory Experiences in the General Population: An International Multisite Replication Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Hallucinatory experiences can occur in both clinical and nonclinical groups. However, in previous studies of the general population, investigations of the cognitive mechanisms underlying hallucinatory experiences have ... -
In the twilight zone: An epidemiological study of sleep-related hallucinations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Few studies have investigated hallucinations that occur at the onset/offset of sleep (called hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations; HHHs), despite the fact that their prevalence in the general population is ... -
Glutamate- and GABA-Modulated Connectivity in Auditory Hallucinations—A Combined Resting State fMRI and MR Spectroscopy Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have been linked to aberrant interhemispheric connectivity between the left and the right superior temporal gyrus (STG), labeled the interhemispheric miscommunication theory. ... -
Simultaneous Measurement of the BOLD Effect and Metabolic Changes in Response to Visual Stimulation Using the MEGA-PRESS Sequence at 3 T
