    Effect of pinch types on pinch force sense in healthy adults
    with YanXia Li, Peng Jia, Shuyan Wang, Wanpeng Wang, and Yuxiang Liu
    Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 16 990431. 2022.
    Pinch force sense plays an important role in the performance of daily finger movements, including tip, key, palmar pinch. The present study investigated the roles of pinch type in the sensation of pinch force among healthy participants in the ipsilateral force reproduction trial. This study instructed forty healthy adult subjects (20 women and 20 men) in producing reference forces at different levels [10, 30, 50% maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC)] by adopting 3 pinch types (tip, key…Read more

    The associations between specific-type sedentary behaviors and cognitive flexibility in adolescents
    with Jie Cui and Chao Dong
    Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 16. 2022.
    Background: The prevalence of sedentary behavior in adolescents has aroused social attention. The association between sedentary behavior and cognitive flexibility remains unclear, and it may vary depending on the type of sedentary behavior. This study aimed to investigate the associations between specific-type sedentary behaviors and cognitive flexibility in adolescents.Method: A total of 700 Chinese adolescents aged 10–15 years were recruited. The self-report questionnaire was used to assess to…Read more

    Pragmatic Competence and Willingness to Communicate Among L2 Learners of Chinese
    with Xiaoxuan Lv and Wei Ren
    Frontiers in Psychology 12. 2021.
    Research in second language pragmatics has paid increasing attention to learners’ individual differences, but few studies have examined the relationship between learners’ willingness to communicate in L2 and their pragmatic competence. To this end, this study investigates the association between WTC and pragmatic awareness and comprehension of Chinese as a second language learners. A total of 80 CSL learners studying abroad in three universities in China participated in this study. Data were col…Read more

    The valence–arousal conflict theory assumes that both valence and arousal will trigger approaching or withdrawing tendencies. It also predicts that the speed of processing emotional stimuli will depend on whether valence and arousal trigger conflicting or congruent motivational tendencies. However, most previous studies have provided evidence of the interaction between valence and arousal only, and have not provided direct proof of the interactive links between valence, arousal and motivational …Read more

    Envisioning Intention-Oriented Brain-to-Speech Decoding
    with J. Vasil and S. Negoita
    Journal of Consciousness Studies 27 (1-2): 71-93. 2019.
    The typical approach to decoding speech from the brain (using brain-machine interfaces) is to decode low-level linguistic units (e.g. phonemes, syllables) from motor articulation areas (e.g. Premotor cortex) with the aim of assembling these low-level units into higher-level discourse. We propose that brain-to-speech decoding may benefit from adopting a functional view of language, which conceives of language as an instrumental tool for interacting with others' intentions in order to fulfil one's…Read more
