Improving emotional prosody detection in the attending ear by cathodal tDCS suppression of the competing channel (2011)
Journal Article
Alexander, T., Avirame, K., & Lavidor, M. (2012). Improving emotional prosody detection in the attending ear by cathodal tDCS suppression of the competing channel. Neuroscience letters, 508(1), 52-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2011.12.017

Currently it is assumed that cathodal stimulation (in transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS) degrades the neural firing rate, and thus it is believed to degrade cognitive performance. Here we challenge this assumption by predicting that under... Read More about Improving emotional prosody detection in the attending ear by cathodal tDCS suppression of the competing channel.

Word recognition processes modulate the naso-temporal asymmetry of the human visual field (2009)
Journal Article
Lavidor, M., Alexander, T., & McGraw, P. V. (2009). Word recognition processes modulate the naso-temporal asymmetry of the human visual field. Perception, 38(10), 1536-1541. https://doi.org/10.1068/p6078

Many visual tasks display a well-documented naso-temporal asymmetry (NTA), where sensitivity is greater to stimuli presented in the temporal hemifield. Four-letter strings were presented at various eccentricities under monocular vision conditions, an...
