Spatial extension of parafoveal processing predicts reading speed gain during reading acceleration

Fast and efficient reading involves not only processing the currently fixated word but also simultaneous processing of the upcoming text. Although the role of extrafoveal processing in natural reading has been extensively documented, its contribution to reading acceleration benef...

Placebo and nocebo effects on pain through the lens of the predictive brain: Neurobiological mechanisms and translational implications

Placebo and nocebo effects on pain provide a model for investigating how cognitive and contextual factors modulate the physiological processes underlying nociception and its regulation. However, existing accounts remain fragmented and lack a unifying mechanistic framework linking...
