  1. 1. What comes next? : Investigating the neural correlates of predictability during conversation with fMRI

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

    Author : Johanna Sundström; [2023]
    Keywords : surprisal; neurolinguistics; fMRI; language processing; conversation; language comprehension; language production; surprisal; neurolingvistik; fMRI; språkprocessning; konversation; språkförståelse; språkproduktion;

    Abstract : The notion that prediction plays a role in language processing is getting less controversial, however research and discussion is ongoing as to the nature and extent of its involvement. Previous studies have mainly focused on prediction during comprehension in restricted paradigms. READ MORE

  3. 2. Enhancing Sensory Discrimination Training using Brain Modulation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Agnes Westerlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Transcranial direct current stimulation; sensory discrimination training; tactile acuity; phantom limb pain; two-point discrimination test; Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test;

    Abstract : Damage to the nervous system may cause sensorimotor impairment, often resulting in chronic neuropathic pain. Phantom limb pain affects multiple amputees and the treatment options are limited. A promising treatment option to reduce chronic pain is by training sensory discrimination. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of Mouse Whisker Movement Synchronicity

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Johanna Elisabeth de Voogel; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In active sensing, sensory organs are actively controlled by the motor system to optimize stimuli acquisition. Coupling behaviour of animal models with electrophysiological signals could give us important insights in the workings of this active sensing in health and disease. In this work, a contribution is made towards this aim. READ MORE

  5. 4. Differences in Whisker Movement in Mouse Models of Parkinson's Disease & Healthy Mice

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hrafndís Brá Heimisdóttir; Jill Skärby; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Analysing differences in whisking movement between Parkinson’s Disease (PD) modeled mice and healthy control mice can help us to better understand active sensing and the sensorimotor system. In this thesis whisking data obtained from de Voogel’s (2020) master thesis was analysed with the goal to identify differences in whisking movement. READ MORE

  6. 5. Embodied Understanding in Computer Programming : A semiotic analysis of metaphors used in programming

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Pedagogik och didaktik

    Author : Andreas Larsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Embodied Cognition; Computer Programming; Computer Science; Conceptual understanding; Conceptual metaphors; Social Semiotics; Qualitative analysis;

    Abstract : Language can be seen as a bridge between the way we think and our actions. From a social semiotic, language becomes a resource with which collective knowledge can be distributed. The way we talk about an artefact is a reflection of our conceptual understanding thereof. READ MORE
