Augmented Modality Exclusivity Norms for Concrete and Abstract Italian Property Words
(Journal of Cognition, 2019)
How perceptual information is encoded into language and conceptual knowledge is a debated topic in cognitive (neuro)science. We present modality norms for 643 Italian adjectives, which referred to one of the five perceptual ...
Tapping to a beat in synchrony predicts brain print sensitivity in pre-readers
(Brain and Language, 2019)
This longitudinal study was aimed at testing the relation between rhythm sensitivity and behavioural and neural orthographic sensitivity in pre-reading stages. Basque-speaking children performed several behavioural and EEG ...
Anticipating information structure: An event-related potentials study of focus assignment via the it-cleft
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)
The present study uses event-related potentials to investigate the role of prediction in the processing of information structure, a domain of language that belongs to the level of the discourse. Twenty-three native speakers ...
A deconvolution algorithm for multi-echo functional MRI: Multi-echo Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping
(NeuroImage, 2019)
This work introduces a novel algorithm for deconvolution of the BOLD signal in multi-echo fMRI data: Multi-echo Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping (ME-SPFM). Assuming a linear dependence of the BOLD percent signal change on the ...
Brain-behavior relationships in incidental learning of non-native phonetic categories
(Brain and Language, 2019)
Research has implicated the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) in mapping acoustic-phonetic input to sound category representations, both in native speech perception and non-native phonetic category learning. At issue is ...
What Determines Visual Statistical Learning Performance? Insights From Information Theory
(Cognitive Science. A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019)
In order to extract the regularities underlying a continuous sensory input, the individual elements constituting the stream have to be encoded and their transitional probabilities (TPs) should be learned. This suggests ...
Agito ergo sum: Correlates of spatio-temporal motion characteristics during fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2020)
The impact of in-scanner motion on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has a notorious reputation in the neuroimaging community. State-of-the-art guidelines advise to scrub out excessively corrupted frames ...
Is repairing speech errors an automatic or a controlled process? Insights from the relationship between error and repair probabilities in English and Spanish
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
Speakers can correct their speech errors, but the mechanisms behind repairs are still unclear. Some
findings, such as the speed of repairs and speakers’ occasional unawareness of them, point to an
automatic repair process. ...
How are visual words represented? Insights from EEG-based visual word decoding, feature derivation and image reconstruction
(Human Brain Mapping, 2019)
Investigations into the neural basis of reading have shed light on the cortical locus
and the functional role of visual-orthographic processing. Yet, the fine-grained structure
of neural representations subserving reading ...
Domain-general and domain-specific computations in single word processing
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Language comprehension relies on a multitude of domain-general and domain-specific cognitive operations. This
study asks whether the domain-specific grammatical computations are obligatorily invoked whenever we ...
