Learning and memory functions are crucial in the interaction of an individual with the
environment and involve the interplay of large, distributed brain networks. Recent advances …

Previous studies indicate that both electroencephalogram (EEG) spectral power (in
particular the alpha and theta band) and event-related potentials (ERPs)(in particular the …

While studies exist that compare different physiological variables with respect to their
association with mental workload, it is still largely unclear which variables supply the best …

Background Cognition and mobility in older adults are closely associated and they decline
together with aging. Studies evaluating associations between cognitive factors and gait …

Working memory involves the short-term storage and manipulation of information necessary
for cognitive performance, including comprehension, learning, reasoning and planning …

The reinforcement learning theory of the error-related negativity (ERN) holds that the impact
of reward signals carried by the midbrain dopamine system modulates activity of the anterior …

Background: Cognitive deficits are correlated with increasing age and become more
pronounced for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia caused by …

Recent studies described several changes of endogenous event-related potentials (ERP)
and brain rhythm synchronization during memory activation in patients with Alzheimer's …

Symptoms persisting beyond the acute phase (> 2 months) after a mild traumatic brain injury
(MTBI) are often reported, but their origin remains controversial. Some investigators evoke …

In this study we investigated age-related changes in WM capacity and their respective ERP
correlates. We explicitly addressed the differentiation between high and low performing …
