Do you hear what I hear?

The pint of science festival takes place from 9-11 May. You will find interesting talks in different locations. If you have difficulties to decide to which event you want to go, we can recommend the first session on Monday 9th at The student Hotel Maastricht. During the session ‘Do you hear what I hear?’ Xan … Read more Do you hear what I hear?

Prediction in the aging brain: Merging cognitive, neurological, and evolutionary perspectives

A new paper written by former BAND lab member Rachel Brown and lab director Sonja Kotz investigates predictive mechanisms in the aging brain. It is hypothesized that when we age subcortical-cortical communication decreases, while default executive coupling increases. Curious to read more? Go here.

On March 7, Xanthate and Pia pitched their PhD projects at the Women Researchers’Festival, which was held online and organized by the Female Empowerment group at Maastricht University.

Identifying a brain network for musical rhythm: A functional neuroimaging meta-analysis and systematic review

Curious to read more about musical rhythm and how it engages a bilateral cortico-subcortical network that involves auditory and motor regions? Check out this new paper here.

Cortical thickness in default mode network hubs correlates with clinical features of dissociative seizures

Curious to learn how illness duration of dissociative seizures (DS), which are paroxysmal episodes of altered awareness and motor control that can resemble epilepsy, correlates with cortical thickness in hubs of the default mode network (DMN)? Check out the new paper here.

Lab Director – Sonja A. Kotz

I hold a Chair in Neuropsychology and Translational Cognitive Neuroscience at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (FPN), Department of Neuropsychology and Psychopharmacology (NP&PP) at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. I serve as a board member and senior editor of major journals (Neuroimage, Cortex, PLoS ONE, Time & Time Perception) and actively review for all top journals … Read more Lab Director – Sonja A. Kotz

Our Research

The primary goal of the group is to investigate the facilitatory effects of predictive cues in comprehension and its underlying processes. Focusing on rhythmic, formal, and emotional cues in communicative signals, we aim to identify factors that modulate the extraction of cues and thus the resulting predictions. Furthermore, we examine the functional and neuroanatomical links … Read more Our Research
