Our perception and decision-making are susceptible to prior context, as seen in sequential dependence where our judgment of stimulus magnitude is biased toward what we experienced in previous trials. While sequential bias in the spatial domain has been extensively studied, less is known about it for time perception.…

Our current perception and decision-making are shaped by recent experiences, a phenomenon known as serial dependence. While serial dependence is well-documented in visual perception and has been recently explored in time perception, their functional similarities across non-temporal and temporal domains remain elusive…

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA molecules whose precursor transcripts are capped and polyadenylated. However, these end modifications are detrimental to snoRNA function and must be removed, a process typically involving excision from introns and/or endonucleolytic cleavage. In the case of…

Results in human and non-human primates have shown that elements of a movement sequence are pre-ordered in parallel competitively before execution, a process known as competitive queueing (CQ). However, it is unclear whether the preplanning of individual movements persists in continuous skilled actions that involve…

Sequential experimental paradigms are fundamental to cognitive neuroscience, yet standard event-related response analysis struggles with the temporal variability inherent to these designs. Conventional epoching treats each event within a sequence as an independent response, discarding the temporal dependencies between…

Our perception often shows systematic biases revealing how the brain’s internal representation diverges from the physical world. In particular, what happened in the recent past can systematically attract current percepts, making them appear more similar to previous stimuli. Does this phenomenon reflect a low-level…

Understanding the neural process underlying the comprehension of visual images and sentences remains a major open challenge in cognitive neuroscience. We previously demonstrated with fMRI and DTI that comprehension of visual images and sentences describing human activities recruits a common semantic system. The current…

Sentences in natural language have a hierarchical structure, that can be described in terms of nested trees. To compose sentence meaning, the human brain needs to link successive words into complex syntactic structures. However, such hierarchical-structure processing could co-exist with a simpler, shallower, and…

Predictive coding posits that the brain continuously generates and updates internal models to anticipate incoming sensory input. While auditory and visual modalities have been studied independently in this context, direct comparisons using matched paradigms are scarce. Here, we employed magnetoencephalography (MEG) to…

The visual information can be stored as either “active” representations in the active state or “activity-silent” representations in the passive state during the retention period in visual working memory (VWM). Catering to the dynamic nature of visual world, we explored how the temporally dynamic visual input was stored…

The world around us is replete with stimuli that unfold over time. When we hear an auditory stream like music or speech or scan a texture with our fingertip, physical features in the stimulus are concatenated in a particular order, and this temporal patterning is critical to interpreting the stimulus. To explore the…

In episodic encoding, an unfolding experience is rapidly transformed into a memory representation that binds separate episodic elements into a memory form to be later recollected. However, it is unclear how brain activity changes over time to accommodate the encoding of incoming information. This study aimed to…

Sequential membrane filtration as a pre-processing step for the isolation of microorganisms could provide good quality and integrity DNA that can be preserved and kept at ambient temperatures before community profiling through culture-independent molecular techniques, e.g., 16s rDNA amplicon sequencing. Here, we…
