Abstract: The proximity of hand position alters the processing of visual stimuli. Stimuli presented close (proximal) to hands receive an enhanced allocation of visual attention compared to stimuli presented far (distal) from hands. In the present… read more here.

Abstract: Vocal learning species such as humans and parrots show auditory dominance when they synchronize their actions to an external rhythm. However, whether non-vocal-learners show a specific modality dominance in a rhythmic task has scarcely been… read more here.

Abstract: High frequency electrical conditioning stimulation (HFS) is an experimental method to induce increased mechanical pinprick sensitivity in the unconditioned surrounding skin (secondary hyperalgesia). Secondary hyperalgesia is thought to be the result of central sensitization, i.e.… read more here.

Abstract: Humans can recognize others' actions in the social environment. This action recognition ability is rarely hindered by the movement of people in the environment. The neural basis of this position tolerance for observed actions is… read more here.
