Abstract

La menace du stéréotype se produit quand un individu se dévalue dans une &#13;situation qui le stigmatise. Cette étude vise à comprendre, d’un point de vue &#13;comportemental et cognitif, la menace implicite du stéréotype chez des étudiants &#13;stigmatisés par une prétendue infériorité intellectuelle selon la filière académique &#13;poursuivie : la psychologie vs les sciences exactes. L’analyse comportementale de la menace du stéréotype vise à explorer l’influence d’un modérateur (identification au domaine mémoire et attention) et d'un médiateur (sentiment de menace) selon la condition expérimentale (implicite vs neutre) sur une performance cognitive (tâche de flexibilité). L’analyse cognitive, quant à elle, vise à explorer, via l’onde P300, les traitements cognitifs des stimuli cibles (médecine et psychologie) selon la condition expérimentale (implicite vs neutre) sur un paradigme oddball visuel sophistiqué. L’analyse comportementale montre des patterns d’interaction entre les trois variables sur la performance. En menace implicite, les sujets hautement identifiés au modérateur ressentent un sentiment de menace et réalisent une moins bonne performance cognitive que les sujets en condition neutre. L’analyse cognitive montre un pattern d’interaction entre les stimuli de psychologie et la condition. La P300 montre plus grande amplitude sur des stimuli de psychologie en condition implicite qu’en condition neutre, suggérant à une activation d’auto-concepts négatifs sous la menace du stéréotype. En conclusion, cette étude apporte une lumière sur le caractère indispensable des modérateurs et sur la manipulation du stéréotype à travers la menace qu’il représente. Elle apporte aussi une nouvelle méthodologie en observant spécifiquement les concepts cognitifs impliqués à travers le stéréotype d’infériorité intellectuelle chez les étudiants en psychologie.

Abstract

The field of Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) has grown rapidly in the last few decades, allowing the development of faster and more reliable assistive technologies based on direct links between the brain and an external device. Novel applications of BCIs have also been proposed, especially in the area of human augmentation, i.e., enabling people to go beyond human limitations in sensory, cognitive and motor tasks. Brain-imaging techniques, such as electroencephalography, have been used to extract neural correlates of various brain processes and transform them, via machine learning, into commands for external devices. Brain stimulation technology has allowed to trigger the activation of specific brain areas to enhance the cognitive processes associated to the task at hand, hence improving performance. BCIs have therefore extended their scope from assistive technologies for people with disabilities to neuro-tools for human enhancement. This Special Issue aims at showing the recent advances in BCIs for human augmentation, highlighting new results on both traditional and novel applications. These include, but are not limited to, control of external devices, communication, cognitive enhancement, decision making and entertainment.

Abstract

Dysregulation of Wnt signaling is known to be associated with various cancers. As such, identification of novel Wnt pathway targets in cancer and better characterization of already-known targets present exciting, emerging opportunities for cancer treatment. In this Special Issue, we feature papers which discuss the role of Wnt signaling and associated targets in cancer metabolism, tumor immune response, and tumor microenvironment. Papers discussing a range of Wnt-mediated cancers, including those of the colon, liver, pancreas, synovium, bladder, etc., are included.

Abstract

This book comprises research articles contributed to the Special Issue on “ERP and EEG Markers of Brain Visual Attentional Processing” of the Brain Sciences journal by a panel of authoritative international cognitive neuroscientists and electrophysiologists. All articles present state-of-the-art knowledge on the relationships between visuospatial attentional processing and the brain in humans as investigated by means of EEG and ERPs from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience. All the articles compare overt behavioral data obtained in universally renowned visual selective attention protocols with the electrophysiological data obtained in these same protocols aimed at investigating different facets of visuospatial attentional processing. The research presented is interdisciplinary, ranging across visual selective processing mechanisms in health, the effects of psychological attentional dysfunctions and brain damage, and functional imaging of the human brain. The Preface of the book provides an overall theoretical introduction to the field and to the contents of each of the remaining articles. In this introductory Editorial, a framework is presented in which to consider EEG and ERPs as research tools able to contribute to both cognitive and brain sciences, putting together new knowledge about humans as integrated sociobiological individuals. This book may provide a useful starting point and reference for researchers and students of cognitive neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, or cognitive science who have an interest in mind and brain visual attentional processing.

Abstract

Disordered proteins are relatively recent newcomers in protein science. They were first described in detail by Wright and Dyson, in their J. Mol. Biol. paper in 1999. First, it was generally thought for more than a decade that disordered proteins or disordered parts of proteins have different amino acid compositions than folded proteins, and various prediction methods were developed based on this principle. These methods were suitable for distinguishing between the disordered (unstructured) and structured proteins known at that time. In addition, they could predict the site where a folded protein binds to the disordered part of a protein, shaping the latter into a well-defined 3D structure. Recently, however, evidence has emerged for a new type of disordered protein family whose members can undergo coupled folding and binding without the involvement of any folded proteins. Instead, they interact with each other, stabilizing their structure via “mutual synergistic folding” and, surprisingly, they exhibit the same residue composition as the folded protein. Increasingly more examples have been found where disordered proteins interact with non-protein macromolecules, adding to the already large variety of protein–protein interactions. There is also a very new phenomenon when proteins are involved in phase separation, which can represent a weak but functionally important macromolecular interaction. These phenomena are presented and discussed in the chapters of this book.
