Over two decades, Saccade Induced Retrieval Enhancement (SIRE), referring to memory performance enhancement with alternating left-right horizontal eye movements, gained a lot of popularity among cognitive science researchers. A similar effect can optionally be realized by bilateral tactile stimulation (BLS). Although the mechanism behind the SIRE effect hasn't been conclusively revealed yet, there have been two alternative explanations: the interhemispheric interaction hypothesis and the top- down attentional hypothesis. Main purpose of this thesis is to investigate the neuromodulatory effects of bilateral tactile stimulation on face recognition memory tasks based on these hypotheses. EEG data were acquired while twenty-one university students performed a recognition memory task. Behavioral analyses revealed that subjects under BLS yield more conservative response biases. EEG results showed that the N100 ERP component is modulated by BLS. Moreover, through EEG coherence analysis, there is some indication that BLS induces an increase in interhemispheric connectivity within the delta frequency band in the frontal regions and a decrease within the gamma band in the parietal regions.

Brain Oscillatory Correlates of Visual Short-Term Memory Errors
Mapelli, Igor; Özkurt, Tolga Esat (2019-02-13)
Brain dynamics of memory formation were explored during encoding and retention intervals of a visual working memory task. EEG data were acquired while subjects were exposed to grayscale images of widely known object categories (e.g., "luggage," "chair," and "car"). Following a short delay, two probes were shown to test memory accuracy. Oscillatory portraits of successful and erroneous memories were contrasted. Where significant differences were identified, oscillatory traits of false memories (i.e., when a ...
RESPONSE BIAS SHIFT FOR POSITIVE WORDS IN OLDER ADULTS IN A SURPRISE RECOGNITION MEMORY TASK: AN INCIDENTAL ENCODING STUDY
KAYNAK, HANDE; Gökçay, Didem (2017-01-01)
Introduction: Although the advantages of positive words on memory enhancement have been documented, the specific effects of the two prominent emotional dimensions (valence and arousal) under incidental encoding require further investigation. The objective is to study memory accuracy and response bias for positive/negative and highly/medium arousing words in a surprise old/new recognition memory paradigm under incidental encoding.
Differential modulation of STN-cortical and cortico-muscular coherence by movement and levodopa in Parkinson's disease
Hirschmann, J.; Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Butz, M.; Homburger, M.; Elben, S.; Hartmann, C. J.; Vesper, J.; Wojtecki, L.; Schnitzler, A. (2013-03-01)
Previous research suggests that oscillatory coupling between cortex, basal ganglia and muscles plays an important role in motor behavior. Furthermore, there is evidence that oscillatory coupling is altered in patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD).
Neuroprotective Efficacy of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-gamma Ligand in Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion
SAYAN ÖZAÇMAK, HALE; SAYAN, Hale; BARUT, FİGEN; Jakubowska-Dogru, Ewa (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2011-08-01)
Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion can cause learning and memory impairment and neuronal damage resembling the effects observed in vascular dementia. PPAR-gamma agonists were shown to modulate inflammatory response and neuronal death following cerebral ischemia. The present study was designed to evaluate possible neuroprotective effects of rosiglitazone, a PPAR-gamma agonist, in rat model of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Cerebral hypoperfusion was induced by permanent bilateral occlusion of the common carotid...
Behavioral and Neural Effects of Game-Based Learning on Improving Computational Fluency With Numbers
Çakır, Murat Perit; Ayaz, Hasan; Lee, Frank J. (2016-10-01)
This study examines the short-term behavioral and neural effects of an educational mobile game called MathDash on computational fluency. A portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR) device was used to monitor changes in the prefrontal cortices of middle school students due to game-based training. Our aim is to explore changes in neural activity at regions in the prefrontal cortex associated with the management of working memory and attentional resources due to arithmetic training with MathDash.
