Feasibility and Acceptability of Using a Mobile Phone App for Characterizing Auditory Verbal Hallucinations in Adolescents With Early-Onset Psychosis: Exploratory Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-14)Background: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are the most frequent symptom in early-onset psychosis (EOP) and a risk factor for increased suicide attempts in adolescents. Increased knowledge of AVH characteristics can ... -
A follow-up study of first episode major depressive disorder. Impairment in inhibition and semantic fluency—potential predictors for relapse?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-13)The present study investigated the Executive Functions (EF) of inhibition, mental flexibility and phonemic and semantic fluency in a 1-year follow-up assessment of patients diagnosed with first episode Major Depressive ... -
The functional and structural asymmetries of the superior temporal sulcus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is an anatomical structure that increasingly interests researchers. This structure appears to receive multisensory input and is involved in several perceptual and cognitive core functions, ... -
Functional asymmetry and effective connectivity of the auditory system during speech perception is modulated by the place of articulation of the consonant – A 7 T fMRI study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-11)To differentiate between stop-consonants, the auditory system has to detect subtle place of articulation (PoA) and voice-onset time (VOT) differences between stop-consonants. How this differential processing is represented ... -
Gender-stereotyping and cognitive sex differences in mixed- and same-sex groups
(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 ... -
Genome-wide analyses of aggressiveness in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03-29)Aggressiveness is a behavioral trait that has the potential to be harmful to individuals and society. With an estimated heritability of about 40%, genetics is important in its development. We performed an exploratory ... -
Glutamatergic modulation of auditory cortex connectivity with attentional brain networks in unpredictable perceptual environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In a stable environment the brain can minimize processing required for sensory input by forming a predictive model of the surrounding world and suppressing neural response to predicted stimuli. Unpredicted stimuli lead to ... -
Group Study of Simulated Driving fMRI Data by Multiset Canonical Correlation Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)In this work, we apply a novel statistical method, multiset canonical correlation analysis (M-CCA), to study a group of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets acquired during simulated driving task. The M-CCA ... -
GWAS meta-analysis reveals novel loci and genetic correlates for general cognitive function: a report form the COGENT consortium
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-17)The complex nature of human cognition has resulted in cognitive genomics lagging behind many other fields in terms of gene discovery using genome-wide association study (GWAS) methods. In an attempt to overcome these ... -
Hallucinations in healthy older adults: An overview of the literature and perspectives for future research
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-07)Studies suggest a substantial minority of healthy older adults have hallucinatory experiences, in line with existing evidence on hallucinations in other age groups, though it is still unclear if hallucination prevalence ... -
Hallucinations in older adults: A practical review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)By 2050, it is estimated that 16% of people will be aged above 65 years, compared with 9% in 2019.1 Population aging is driving increased attention to the physical and mental health needs of older adults. Here, our focus ... -
Heroic music stimulates empowering thoughts during mind-wandering
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-16)It is generally well-known, and scientifically well established, that music affects emotions and moods. However, only little is known about the influence of music on thoughts. This scarcity is particularly surprising given ... -
How brain asymmetry relates to performance – a large-scale dichotic listening study
(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 ... -
The human amygdala encodes value and space during decision making
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-01)Valuable stimuli are invariably localized in space. While our knowledge regarding the neural networks supporting value assignment and comparisons is considerable, we lack a basic understanding of how the human brain ... -

(Master thesis, 2018-06-13)The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate what adults who have undergone their first cochlear implantation (CI) experience as important during the period after sound activation, and the research question was: ... -
Hvordan ivaretar kommunene logopedtjenester overfor voksne?
(Master thesis, 2020-07-02)Studiets hensikt er å se hvordan kommunene ivaretar logopedtjenester for voksne ved å gå igjennom deres tilgjengelige planverk og for å se om logopedtjenestens dualitet er synlig. Studiet viser ulike vansker hos voksne en ... -
