Visual noise mask for human point-light displays: A coding-free approach
Senra, Catarina Carvalho; Sampaio, Adriana; Lapenta, Olivia MorganHuman point-light displays consist of luminous dots representing human articulations, thus depicting actions without pictorial information. These stimuli are widely used in action recognition experiments. Because humans excel in decoding human motion, point-light displays (PLDs) are often masked with additional moving dots (noise masks), thereby challenging stimulus recognition. These noise masks are typically ...
Capturing mental workload through physiological sensors in human-robot collabor...
Pereira, Eduarda Manuel Barros; Guachamin, Luis Francisco Sigcha; Silva, Emanuel Teixeira; Sampaio, Adriana; Costa, Nuno Miguel CerqueiraHuman–robot collaboration (HRC) is increasingly prevalent across various industries, promising to boost productivity, efficiency, and safety. As robotics technology advances and takes on more complex tasks traditionally performed by humans, the nature of work and the demands on workers are evolving. This shift emphasizes the need to critically integrate human factors into these interactions, as the effectivenes...
Personalized language training and bi-hemispheric tDCS improve language connect...
Carvalho, Sandra; Mendes, Augusto J.; Pinto, José Miguel Soares Pereira; Sampaio, Adriana; Leite, JorgeBackground: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a promising neuromodulatory tool for language rehabilitation in chronic aphasia. However, the effects of bi-hemispheric, multisite stimulation remain largely unexplored, especially in people with chronic and treatment-resistant language impairments. The goal of this study is to look at the effects on behavior and brain activity of an indi...
From abstainers to dependent drinkers: Alcohol consumption patterns and risk fa...
Saldanha, Lucas; Crego, Alberto; Antunes, Natália Almeida; Rodrigues, Rui; Sampaio, Adriana; Caneda, Eduardo LopezAlcohol is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance worldwide. In Portugal, alcohol consumption is deeply embedded in social and cultural practices, contributing to high prevalence rates among university students, with binge drinking emerging as a predominant consumption pattern. Despite the associations between this drinking behaviour and numerous social, physical, and psychological problems, research o...
Assessing the impact of binge drinking and a prebiotic intervention on the gut–...
Martins, Diogo Prata; Nobre, Clarisse; Antunes, Natália Almeida; Azevedo, Pedro; Sousa, Sónia S.; Crego, Alberto; Cryan, John; Sampaio, AdrianaAdolescence and youth are periods of significant maturational changes, which seem to involve greater susceptibility to disruptive events in the brain, such as binge drinking (BD). This pattern—characterised by repeated episodes of alcohol intoxication—is of particular concern, as it has been associated with significant alterations in the developing brain. Recent evidence indicates that alcohol may also induce c...
Functional neuroimaging and behavioral correlates of multisite tDCS as an add-o...
Mendes, Augusto J.; Lema, Alberto; Soares, José Miguel; Sampaio, Adriana; Leite, Jorge; Carvalho, SandraMary, who experienced non-fluent aphasia as a result of an ischemic stroke, received 10 years of personalized language training (LT), resulting in transient enhancements in speech and comprehension. To enhance these effects, multisite transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) was added to her LT regimen for 15 sessions. Assessment using the Reliable Change Index showed that this combination improved her le...

Nodes of the default mode network implicated in the quality of empathic respons...
Oliveira-Silva, Patrícia; Maia, Liliana; Coutinho, Joana T.; Moreno, Ana Filipa; Penalba, Lucia; Frank, Brandon; Soares, José Miguel; Sampaio, AdrianaThe ability to empathize with another person's inner experience is believed to be a central element of our social interactions. Previous research has focused on cognitive (e.g., theory of mind) and emotional (e.g., emotional contagion) empathy, and less on behavioral factors (i.e., the ability to respond empathically). Recent studies suggest that the Default Mode Network (DMN) mediates individual variability in...

Data mining techniques in psychotherapy: applications for studying therapeutic ...
Mosavi, Nasimsadat; Ribeiro, Eugénia; Sampaio, Adriana; Santos, ManuelTherapeutic Alliance (TA) has been consistently reported as a robust predictor of therapy outcomes and is one of the most investigated therapy relational factors. Research on therapists' and clients’ contributions to the alliance development and the alliance-outcome relationship had shown mixed results. The relation of the therapist’s and client’s biological markers with the alliance is an important and under-i...
