Abstract:

This dissertation explores historical and contemporary occurrences of glossolalia or 'speaking in tongues', the production of a series of phonetically transcribable language-like but generally, non-cognitive sounds in a variety of (primarily religious; settings. The main issues are why some are susceptible to glossolalia, some may learn it, some crave the ability but cannot do so, and others are repelled. Divided into three parts, Part I of the dissertation considers the phenomenon of glossolalia itself and moves on to historical and cross-cultural contexts, relating glossolalia to that other

Abstract:

The left hemisphere interpreter refers to a function in the left hemisphere of the brain that search for and produce causal explanations for events, behaviours and feelings, even though no such apparent pattern exists between them. Confabulation is said to occur when a person presents or acts on obviously false information, despite being aware that they are false. People who confabulate also tend to defend their confabulations even when they are presented with counterevidence. Research related to these two areas seems to deal with the same phenomenon, namely the human tendency to infer explana

Abstract:

Many disorders are associated with regional brain volumes. The analysis of these volumes from MR images often requires sequential processing steps such as localization and delineation. It is common to perform volumetric normalization using intracranial volume (ICV, the total volume inside the cranial cavity) when comparing regional brain volumes, since head size varies considerably between individuals. Multiple methods for estimating ICV and procedures for volume normalization exist. A method for interhemispheric surface localization and extraction, using both intensity and symmetry informatio

The frequency and duration of six coverbal behaviors were examined in two experimental groups and one control group. Conversational samples of ten aphasic subjects, ten right hemisphere damaged (RHD) subjects, and ten matched, non-brain damaged (NBD) control subjects were scored for frequency and duration of eye contact, head nod, head shake, head tilt, smile and eyebrow raise. Only the frequency of smile was found to differ significantly; the RHD subjects smiled less often than either of the other two groups.

Abstract:

Apraxia, a high-level movement disorder, is associated with performance errors during gesture imitation, demonstrating the use of familiar objects that are present (actual object-use) or absent (pantomime), or all three scenarios. Focusing on objects, apraxia has an isolated effect on manipulation judgements regarding skilled object-use. These manipulation deficits are potentially attributed to damage to a purported ventro-dorsal stream resulting in impaired internal representations of movement (i.e. motor imagery). Instead, patients over-rely on visual affordances during object-directed motor

This dissertation examines the relationship of prosodic processing in language and music from a new perspective, considering acoustic features that have not been studied before in the framework of the parallel study of language and music. These features are argued to contribute to the effect of ‘expressiveness’ which is here defined as the combination of the acoustic features (variation in duration, pitch, loudness, and articulation) that results in aesthetic appreciation of the linguistic and the musical acoustic stream and which is distinct from pitch, emotional and pragmatic prosody as well

While studies of neurologically intact individuals have attributed specific functions to the LH and RH, studies of brain-damaged patients have failed to provide complementary evidence for these hemispheric abilities. In addition, the majority of studies have focused on ambiguity resolution in single-sentence (local) contexts, and, as such, do not addre

Abstract:

It is widely accepted that the left hemisphere of the brain is specialised and dominant for language comprehension and production and that those with left hemisphere damage often display profound language disruption (Geschwind, 1965). The importance of the left hemisphere is shown by communication problems or extreme difficulty in producing speech following damage to this brain region. In contrast, following right hemisphere damage, disruption to language is less perceptible to the casual observer. The evidence base currently available acknowledges a critical role for the right hemisphere in p

The nature of the human brain has preoccupied philosophers and scientists for centuries. As early as the 4th Century BCE, Greek philosophers speculated that the anatomically distinct hemispheres of the brain implied specialisation of function. It was not until the "splitbrain" operations of the 1950s, however, that the precise specialisation of each hemisphere could be demonstrated. The right hemisphere apparently assumed responsibility for spacial, holistic processes, while the left hemisphere processed analytical, sequential tasks.

Abstract:

Large scale functional brain networks, defined by synchronized spontaneous oscillations between spatially distinct anatomical regions, are essential to brain function and have been implicated in disease states, cognitive capacity, and many sensing and motor processes. In this work, we sever the corpus callosum in the rodent model to determine if structural connectivity (specifically the primary interhemispheric pathway) organizes and influences bilateral functional connectivity and brain-wide spatiotemporal dynamic activity patterns. Prior to the callosotomy work, resting state brain network
