Journal ArticleDOI
Attentional capture during visual search is attenuated by target predictability: evidence from the N2pc, Pd, and topographic segmentation
Nicolas Burra,Dirk Kerzel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the amplitude of the N2pc toward the target was larger with predictable than with unpredictable targets, and the topographic segmentation of salient distractors was improved with predictable and unpredictable targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amygdala Activation for Eye Contact Despite Complete Cortical Blindness
Nicolas Burra,Alexis Hervais-Adelman,Dirk Kerzel,Marco Tamietto,Marco Tamietto,Beatrice de Gelder,Beatrice de Gelder,Alan J. Pegna,Alan J. Pegna +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the amygdala response to eye contact does not require an intact primary visual cortex and is functionally connected to a larger network associated with face and gaze processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affective blindsight relies on low spatial frequencies
Nicolas Burra,Alexis Hervais-Adelman,Alessia Celeghin,Alessia Celeghin,Beatrice de Gelder,Alan J. Pegna +5 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that the visual information present in the low spatial frequencies is sufficient to produce affective blindsight, further suggesting that its existence could rely on the subcortical colliculo-pulvino-amygdalar pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distractor positivity (Pd) signals lowering of attentional priority: evidence from event-related potentials and individual differences.
Nicolas Burra,Dirk Kerzel +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of task demands and individual differences on the allocation of attention are investigated and it is suggested that highly distractible participants developed compensatory mechanisms to suppress distracting stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avoiding sedentary behaviors requires more cortical resources than avoiding physical activity: An EEG study
Boris Cheval,Eda Tipura,Nicolas Burra,Jaromil Frossard,Julien Chanal,Dan Orsholits,Rémi Radel,Matthieu P. Boisgontier,Matthieu P. Boisgontier +8 more
TL;DR: The cortical activity underlying automatic approach and avoidance tendencies toward stimuli depicting physical activity and sedentary behaviors in 29 young adults who were physically active or physically inactive but with the intention of becoming physically active was investigated using electroencephalography.
