Phonatory and articulatory representations of speech production in cortical and subcortical fMRI responses
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Speaking involves coordination of multiple neuromotor systems, including respiration, phonation and articulation. Developing non-invasive imaging methods to study how the brain controls these systems is critical for ...
Perro or txakur? Bilingual language choice during production is influenced by personal preferences and external primes
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Bilinguals living in a bilingual society continuously need to choose one of their languages to communicate a
message. Sometimes, the circumstances (e.g., the presence of a monolingual) dictate language choice. When
surrounded ...
Brain activity patterns of phonemic representations are atypical in beginning readers with family risk for dyslexia
(Developmental Science, 2020)
There is an ongoing debate whether phonological deficits in dyslexics should be attributed
to (a) less specified representations of speech sounds, like suggested by
studies in young children with a familial risk for ...
How Brain-Related Observations Can Be Used to Support Learners to Acquire Full Literacy? Brain-Related Research as a Support Mechanism to Help Learners to Acquire Full Literacy.
(MDPI, 2023)
Possibly some of the most important skills that one can have are those needed to become fully literate. We all wish our children to reach such a goal. Unfortunately, the focus of attention in reading research has been on ...
Heat exposure following encoding can interfere with subsequent recognition memory
(NATURE, 2023)
Correlational studies suggest that high temperatures may impair online cognitive performance and learning processes. Here, we tested the hypothesis that heat exposure blocks offline memory consolidation. We report two ...
Grey Matter Reshaping of Language-Related Regions Depends on Tumor Lateralization
(MDPI, 2023)
A brain tumor in the left hemisphere can decrease language laterality as assessed through fMRI. However, it remains unclear whether or not this decreased language laterality is associated with a structural reshaping of the ...
Using TMS to evaluate a causal role for right posterior temporal cortex in talker-specific phonetic processing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Theories suggest that speech perception is informed by listeners’ beliefs of what phonetic variation is typical of a talker. A previous fMRI study found right middle temporal gyrus (RMTG) sensitivity to whether a phonetic ...
Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)
Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ...
Don’t force it! Gradient speech categorization calls for continuous categorization tasks
(ASA, 2022)
Research on speech categorization and phoneme recognition has relied heavily on tasks in which participants listen
to stimuli from a speech continuum and are asked to either classify each stimulus (identification) or ...
Language modality and temporal structure impact processing: Sign and speech have different windows of integration
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)
Language comprehension depends on the ability to temporally process the periodic structure of the language
signal. In this study we investigate temporal processing of Spanish Sign Language (LSE), isolating the ...
