1. Brain activity associated with episodic memory : similarities and differences between encoding and retrieval
Sammanfattning : Understanding the mnemonic functions of the brain has been extensively facilitated by the development of functional neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The present thesis aims at investigating the neural mechanisms underlying memory for personally experienced events (episodic memory), using PET. LÄS MER
2. The novelty/encoding hypothesis : relies on a genuine but elusive effect
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Computational Diffusion MRI: Optimal Gradient Encoding Schemes
Sammanfattning : Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a non-invasivestructural imaging technique that provides information about tissue microstructures.Quantitative measures derived from dMRI reflect pathologicaland developmental changes in living tissues such as human brain.

4. Tracking the Mind's Eye : Eye movements during mental imagery and memory retrieval
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the relationship between eye movements, mental imagery and memory retrieval in four studies based on eye-tracking experiments. The first study is an investigation of eye movements during mental imagery elicited both visually and verbally. LÄS MER
5. Processing Asymmetries of Emotionally Valenced Stimuli
Sammanfattning : The central phenomenon investigated concerns the valence-based process asymmetry found in several earlier studies (e.g. Pratto & John, 1991; Taylor, 1991), where negative stimuli seem to initiate more thorough processing than positive stimuli. This finding was consistent in the three empirical studies forming this dissertation. LÄS MER
