"Man känner att man verkligen lyckas fånga dom" : En lärares uppfattningar om och användning av kunskapsreproducerande o...
Denna studies syfte är att ge djupgående kunskap om en lågstadieläraresuppfattningar om och användning av kunskapsreproducerande och kunskapsutforskande samtal i svenskundervisning. Studien har en teoretisk utgångspunkt i fenomenologi och är utformad som en fallstudie med tre klassrumsobservationer i årskurs 1 och en uppföljande intervju med klassl...
Pupillary dynamics of mice performing a Pavlovian delay conditioning task reflect reward-predictive signals
Published in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience
Pupils can signify various internal processes and states, such as attention, arousal, and working memory. Changes in pupil size have been associated with learning speed, prediction of future events, and deviations from the prediction in human studies. However, the detailed relationships between pupil size changes and prediction are unclear. We expl...
Atypical Response to Affective Touch in Children with Autism: Multi-Parametric Exploration of the Autonomic System
This study aimed at evaluating the autonomic response to pleasant affective touch in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and age-matched typically developing (TD) peers, thanks to multiple autonomic nervous system (ANS) parameters and by contrasting CT (C-tactile fibers) high- vs. low-density territory stimulations. We measured pupil diam...
Facial mask disturbs ocular exploration but not pupil reactivity
Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed to wear a face mask that may have negative consequences for social interactions despite its health benefits. A lot of recent studies focused on emotion recognition of masked faces, as the mouth is, with the eyes, essential to convey emotional content. However, none have studied neurobehavioral and neur...
Pupillometry as a Measure of Listening Effort in Patients with Bone-Anchored Hearing Systems
The goal of this study is to assess speech comprehension and listening effort by means of pupillometry, in patients with bone-anchored hearing system (BAHS). The study was performed prospectively in a group of 21 hearing-impaired adults, unilaterally implanted with BAHS Ponto. Listening effort was compared in patients wearing two sound processors (...
Schizophrenia in Translation: Why the Eye?
Published in Schizophrenia bulletin
Schizophrenia is increasingly recognized as a systemic disease, characterized by dysregulation in multiple physiological systems (eg, neural, cardiovascular, endocrine). Many of these changes are observed as early as the first psychotic episode, and in people at high risk for the disorder. Expanding the search for biomarkers of schizophrenia beyond...
EEG Signals Index a Global Signature of Arousal Embedded in Neuronal Population Recordings
Published in eNeuro
Electroencephalography (EEG) has long been used to index brain states, from early studies describing activity in the presence and absence of visual stimulation to modern work employing complex perceptual tasks. These studies have shed light on brain-wide signals but often lack explanatory power at the single neuron level. Similarly, single neuron r...
Neuronal correlates of the subjective experience of attention.
Published in The European journal of neuroscience
The effect of top-down attention on stimulus-evoked responses and alpha oscillations and the association between arousal and pupil diameter are well established. However, the relationship between these indices, and their contribution to the subjective experience of attention, remains largely unknown. Participants performed a sustained (10-30 s) att...
Family Experiences with the Upbringing and Education of a Child with Congenital Malformations, Focusing on the Condition...
The birth of a child with congenital malformation and serious illness impacts the experiences of all family members and the educational process, but there are only rare descriptions of such cases in the literature. The aim of this study is to understand better the lived experiences of a Czech family who have a child with congenital malformations wi...
