Sex differences in a virtual water maze: an eye tracking and pupillometry study
The perception and categorisation of emotional stimuli: A review
When we perceive our environment, we rapidly integrate large amounts of incoming stimulus information into categories that help to guide our understanding of the world. Some stimuli are more relevant for our well-being and survival than others, for example stimuli that signal a threat or an opportunity for growth and expansion. In this review we ex...
An early parietal ERP component of the frontoparietal system: EDAN not equal N2pc
Investigation of driver performance with night vision and pedestrian detection systems, Part 2: Queueing network perform...
This paper introduces a queueing network-based computational model to explain driver performance in a pedestrian-detection task assisted with night-vision-enhancement systems. The computational cognitive model simulated the pedestrian-detection task using images displayed by two night-vision systems as input stimuli. The system equipped with a far-...
Signals of threat do not capture, but prioritize, attention: a conditioning approach.
Published in Emotion (Washington, D.C.)
Research suggests that threatening information captures attention more rapidly than neutral information. However, in most studies threat stimuli differ perceptually from neutral stimuli and are instrumental to perform the task, leaving the question unanswered whether threat is sufficient to capture attention. In experiment 1, we designed a visual s...
Object-based selection of irrelevant features is not confined to the attended object
Attention to one feature of an object can bias the processing of unattended features of that object. Here we demonstrate with ERPs in visual search that this object-based bias for an irrelevant feature also appears in an unattended object when it shares that feature with the target object. Specifically, we show that the ERP response elicited by a d...
Rapid modulation of sensory processing induced by stimulus conflict
Humans are constantly confronted with environmental stimuli that conflict with task goals and can interfere with successful behavior. Prevailing theories propose the existence of cognitive control mechanisms that can suppress the processing of conflicting input and enhance that of the relevant input. However, the temporal cascade of brain processes...

EEG correlates of Fitts’s law during preparation for action
Humans’ inability to move fast and accurately at the same time is expressed in Fitts’s law. It states that the movement time between targets depends on the index of difficulty, which is a function of the target width and the inter-target distance. The present study investigated the electrophysiological correlates of Fitts’s law during action planni...
Speech monitoring and phonologically-mediated eye gaze in language perception and production: a comparison using printed...
The Perceptual Loop Theory of speech monitoring assumes that speakers routinely inspect their inner speech. In contrast, Huettig and Hartsuiker (2010) observed that listening to one's own speech during language production drives eye-movements to phonologically related printed words with a similar time-course as listening to someone else's speech do...
