The role of pattern extrapolation in the perception of dynamic facial expressions in Autism Spectrum Disorder (2018)
Journal Article
Palumbo, L., Macinska, S. T., & Jellema, T. (2018). The role of pattern extrapolation in the perception of dynamic facial expressions in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 1918. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01918

Changes in the intensity and type of facial expressions reflect alterations in the emotional state of the agent. Such "direct" access to the other's affective state might, top-down, influence the perception of the facial expressions that gave rise to...

Error, rather than its probability, elicits specific electrocortical signatures: A combined EEG-immersive virtual reality study of action observation (2018)
Journal Article
Pezzetta, R., Nicolardi, V., Tidoni, E., & Aglioti, S. M. (2018). Error, rather than its probability, elicits specific electrocortical signatures: A combined EEG-immersive virtual reality study of action observation. Journal of Neurophysiology, 120(3), 1107-1118. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00130.2018

Detecting errors in one’s own actions, and in the actions of others, is a crucial ability for adaptable and flexible behavior. Studies show that specific EEG signatures underpin the monitoring of observed erroneous actions (error-related negativity,...

Violation of expectations about movement and goal achievement leads to Sense of Agency reduction (2018)
Journal Article

The control of one’s own movements and of their impact on the external world generates a feeling of control referred to as Sense of Agency (SoA). SoA is experienced when actions match predictions and is reduced by unpredicted events. The present stud...
