Balancing the 2 Hemispheres in Simple Calculation: Evidence From Direct Cortical Electrostimulation
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)
How do the parietal lobes contribute to simple calculation? Clinical and neuroimaging methods, which are based mainly on
correlational evidence, have provided contrasting results so far. Here we used direct cortical ...
Electrophysiological evidence for differences between fusion and combination illusions in audiovisual speech perception
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)
Incongruent audiovisual speech stimuli can lead to perceptual illusions such as fusions or combinations. Here, we investigated
the underlying audiovisual integration process by measuring ERPs. We observed that visual ...
MEG Insight into the Spectral Dynamics Underlying Steady Isometric Muscle Contraction
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)
To gain fundamental knowledge on how the brain controls motor actions, we studied in detail the interplay between MEG signals from the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex and the contraction force of 17 healthy adult humans ...
Lexical and sublexical effects on visual word recognition in Greek: comparing human behavior to the dual route cascaded modell
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)
We evaluated the dual route cascaded (DRC) model of visual word recognition using Greek behavioural data on word and nonword naming and lexical decision, focusing on the effects of syllable and bigram frequency. DRC was ...
Towards a theory of individual differences in statistical learning
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)
In recent years, statistical learning (SL) research has seen a growing interest in tracking individual performance in SL tasks, mainly as a predictor of linguistic abilities. We review studies from this line of research ...
An Event Related Field Study of Rapid Grammatical Plasticity in Adult Second-Language Learners
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017)
The present study used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate how Spanish adult learners of Basque respond to morphosyntactic violations after a short period of training on a small fragment of Basque grammar. Participants ...
Word and object recognition during reading acquisition: MEGevidence
(Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017)
Studies on adults suggest that reading-induced brain changes might not be limited to linguistic processes. It is still unclear whether these results can be generalized to reading development. The present study shows to ...
Measuring individual differences in statistical learning: Current pitfalls and possible solutions
(Behavior Research Methods, 2017)
Most research in statistical learning (SL) has focused
on the mean success rates of participants in detecting
statistical contingencies at a group level. In recent years, however,
researchers have shown increased interest ...
What do your eyes reveal about your foreign language? Reading emotional sentences in a native and foreign language
(PLoS ONE, 2017)
Foreign languages are often learned in emotionally neutral academic environments which differ greatly from the familiar context where native languages are acquired. This difference in learning contexts has been argued to ...
When the end matters: influence of gender cues during agreement computation in bilinguals
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)
The present event-related potential (ERP) study was aimed at testing whether form-function
mappings can differently affect sentence comprehension in early bilinguals with a range of
linguistic profiles. Basque–Spanish ...
