Just give it time: Differential effects of disruption and delay on perceptual learning
(SPRINGER, 2022)
Speech perception and production are critical skills when acquiring a new language. However, the nature of the relationship
between these two processes is unclear, particularly for non-native speech sound contrasts. ...
Comparison of Stimulus Types for Retinotopic Cortical Mapping of Macular Disease
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2023)
Purpose: Retinotopic maps acquired using functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) provide a valuable adjunct in the assessment of macular function at the level of
the visual cortex. The present study quantitatively ...
Tactile expectancy modulates occipital alpha oscillations in early blindness
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Alpha oscillatory activity is thought to contribute to visual expectancy through the engagement of task-relevant occipital regions. In early blindness, occipital alpha oscillations are systematically reduced, suggesting ...
Self-administered transcranial direct current stimulation treatment of knee osteoarthritis alters pain-related fNIRS connectivity networks
(SPIE.DIGITAL LIBRARY, 2023)
Significance: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that causes chronic pain in the elderly population. Currently, OA is mainly treated pharmacologically with analgesics, although research has shown that neuromodulation ...
Proprioceptive response strength in the primary sensorimotor cortex is invariant to the range of finger movement
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex can be elicited by stim- ...
Right Posterior Temporal Cortex Supports Integration of Phonetic and Talker Information
(MIT PRESS, 2023)
Though the right hemisphere has been implicated in talker processing, it is thought to play
a minimal role in phonetic processing, at least relative to the left hemisphere. Recent evidence
suggests that the right posterior ...
Neuropsychological evaluation of pragmatics in a patient with acquired brain injury
(Academia Mexicana de Neurologia, 2017)
Studies in patients with brain injury have provided to clinical practice
a wide range of valuable language assessment tools and rehabilitation
strategies. In contrast, the ability to make a proper use of language
adapted ...
Where do dialectal effects on speech processing come from? Evidence from a cross-dialect investigation
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017)
Accented speech has been seen as an additional impediment for speech processing; it usually adds linguistic and cognitive load to the listener's task. In the current study we analyse where the processing costs of regional ...
Listening to Accented Speech in a Second Language: First Language and Age of Acquisition Effects
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Bilingual speakers must acquire the phonemic inventory of 2 languages and need to recognize spoken
words cross-linguistically; a demanding job potentially made even more difficult due to dialectal
variation, an intrinsic ...
Body into Narrative: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Signatures of Action Text Processing After Ecological Motor Training
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Embodied cognition research indicates that sensorimotor training can influence action concept processing.
Yet, most studies employ isolated (pseudo)randomized stimuli and require repetitive single-effector
responses, ...
