Abstract We tested two accounts of the cognitive process underlying the N400 event-related potential component: one that it reflects meaning-based processing and one that it reflects the processing of specific words. The experimental design utilized separable Persian phrasal verbs, which form a strongly probabilistic, long-distance dependency, ideal for the study of probabilistic processing. In sentences […]

Burst patterns, characterized by their temporal heterogeneity, have been observed across a wide range of domains, encompassing event sequences from neuronal firing to various facets of human activities. Recent research on predicting event sequences leveraged a Transformer based on the Hawkes process, incorporating a self-attention mechanism to capture long-term temporal dependencies. To effectively handle bursty […]

BackgroundIt has been well documented that atrophy of hippocampus and hippocampal subfields is closely linked to cognitive decline in normal aging and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, evidence is still sparce regarding the atrophy of hippocampus and hippocampal subfields in normal aging adults who later developed MCI or AD.ObjectiveTo […]
