Gesture influences the processing of figurative language in non-native speakers: ERP evidenceAgustin Ibanez
Neuroscience Laboratory, University Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile
Neurosci Lett 471:48-52. 2010
..Our results suggest that semantic processing is robust in the learning of a second language, although the amplitude modulation and latency of ERPs might depend on the speaker's proficiency level...

- Contextual blending of ingroup/outgroup face stimuli and word valence: LPP modulation and convergence of measures
Esteban Hurtado
Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience, Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile
BMC Neurosci 10:69. 2009
..At the same time, we predicted that LPP valence lateralization would be modulated not only by positive/negative associations but also by particular combinations of valence, face stimuli and participant relative position...

- Electrophysiological evidence of different interpretative strategies in irony comprehension
Carlos Cornejol
Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Santiago, Chile
J Psycholinguist Res 36:411-30. 2007
..The fact that the same set of stimuli elicits different ERP waveforms, depending on the strategy with which they are analyzed, suggests that different cognitive processes and different areas of the brain are operating in each case...
- The face and its emotion: right N170 deficits in structural processing and early emotional discrimination in schizophrenic patients and relatives
Agustin Ibanez
Institute of Cognitive Neurology, Favaloro University, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Psychiatry Res 195:18-26. 2012
..Finally, these findings lend support to the notion that cortical markers of facial discrimination can be validly considered as vulnerability markers...
- Size and probability of rewards modulate the feedback error-related negativity associated with wins but not losses in a monetarily rewarded gambling task
René San Martín
Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile
Neuroimage 51:1194-204. 2010
..Our findings support the notion that both the probability and size of the offered rewards modulate the motivational value for the win feedback, this being also true for their interaction in an expected value fashion...

- Fluid intelligence and psychosocial outcome: from logical problem solving to social adaptation
David Huepe
Laboratory of Cognitive and Social Neuroscience, Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile
PLoS ONE 6:e24858. 2011
..While fluid intelligence has proved to be central to executive functioning, logical reasoning and other frontal functions, the role of this ability in psychosocial adaptation has not been well characterized...
- ERPs and contextual semantic discrimination: degrees of congruence in wakefulness and sleep
Agustin Ibanez
Escuela de Psicologia, Universidad Diego Portales, Vergara 275, Santiago, Chile
Brain Lang 98:264-75. 2006
..In both studies, the amplitude of N400-like effect showed modulation according to the degree of congruency. The results indicate that the brain can accomplish sentential semantic discriminations not only in wakefulness but also in sleep...
