MULTIMAP: Multilingual picture naming test for mapping eloquent areas during awake surgeries
(Behavior Research Methods, 2021)
Picture naming tasks are currently the gold standard for identifying and preserving language-related areas during awake brain
surgery. With multilingual populations increasing worldwide, patients frequently need to be ...
Clear Theories Are Needed to Interpret Differences: Perspectives on the Bilingual Advantage Debate
(Neurobiology of Language, 2021)
The heated debate regarding bilingual cognitive advantages remains ongoing. While there are
many studies supporting positive cognitive effects of bilingualism, recent meta-analyses have
concluded that there is no consistent ...
What Can Glioma Patients Teach Us about Language (Re)Organization in the Bilingual Brain: Evidence from fMRI and MEG
(Cancers, 2021)
Recent evidence suggests that the presence of brain tumors (e.g., low-grade gliomas)
triggers language reorganization. Neuroplasticity mechanisms called into play can transfer linguistic
functions from damaged to healthy ...
Do handwritten words magnify lexical effects in visual word recognition?
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)
An examination of how the word recognition system is able to process handwritten words is fundamental to formulate a comprehensive model of visual word recognition. Previous research has revealed that the magnitude of ...
Brain-to-brain entrainment: EEG interbrain synchronization while speaking and listening
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to investigate interbrain synchronization patterns in dyads of participants interacting through speech. Results show that brain oscillations are synchronized between listener ...
Language Switching Across Modalities: Evidence From Bimodal Bilinguals.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, & Cognition, 2017)
This study investigated whether language control during language production in bilinguals generalizes across modalities, and to what extent the language control system is shaped by competition for the same articulators. ...
LSE-Sign: A lexical database for Spanish Sign Language
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)
The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for
selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be
used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken
from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a ...
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
(Cortex, 2017)
Sentence comprehension is successfully accomplished by means of a form-to-meaning mapping procedure that relies on the extraction of morphosyntactic information from the input and its mapping to higher-level semantic–discourse ...
Enhancing reading performance through action video games: the role of visual attention span
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Recent studies reported that Action Video Game-AVG training improves not only certain attentional components, but also reading fluency in children with dyslexia. We aimed to investigate the shared attentional components ...
Why space is not one-dimensional: Location may be categorical and imagistic
(Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017)
In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that
location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages.
We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a
“categorical” element ...
