Sensorimotor activation related to speaker vs. listener role during natural conversation
(Neuroscience Letters, 2016)
Although the main function of speech is communication, the brain bases of speaking and listening are typically
studied in single subjects, leaving unsettled how brain function supports interactive vocal exchange.

Lexical organization of language-ambiguous and language-specific words in bilinguals
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)
Previous research has shown the importance of sublexical orthographic cues in determining the language of a given word when the two languages of a bilingual reader share the same script. In this study, we explored the ...
Does Location Uncertainty in Letter Position Coding Emerge Because of Literacy Training?
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
In the quest to unveil the nature of the orthographic code, a useful strategy is to examine the
transposed-letter effect (e.g., JUGDE is more confusable with its base word, JUDGE, than the
replacement-letter nonword ...
ACMUS: Comparative Assessment of a Musical Multimedia Tool
(Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2016)
In this paper it is described the assessment of the ACMUS
(Accessible Music), a multimedia tool that merges sound and colours in order to
make music and its benefits more accessible. The aim of the assessment is to
clarify ...
Lexical representations are malleable for about one second: Evidence for the non-automaticity of perceptual recalibration
(Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
In listening to speech, people have been shown to apply several
types of adjustment to their phonemic categories that take into
account variations in the prevailing linguistic environment. These
adjustments include ...
Testing the connections within face processing circuitry in Capgras delusion with diffusion imaging tractography
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2016)
Although Capgras delusion (CD) patients are capable of recognizing familiar faces, they present a delusional belief that some relatives have been replaced by impostors. CD has been explained as a selective disruption of a ...
Interactions between phasic alerting and consciousness in the fronto-striatal network
(Scientific Reports, 2016)
Only a small fraction of all the information reaching our senses can be the object of conscious report
or voluntary action. Although some models propose that different attentional states (top-down
amplification and ...
Not everybody sees the ness in the darkness: individual differences in masked suffix priming
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
The present study explores the role of individual differences in polymorphemic word recognition. Participants completed a masked priming lexical decision experiment on suffixed words in which targets could be preceded by ...
Asymmetric Switch Costs in Numeral Naming and Number Word Reading: Implications for Models of Bilingual Language Production
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
One approach used to gain insight into the processes underlying bilingual language comprehension and production examines the costs that arise from switching languages. For unbalanced bilinguals, asymmetric switch costs are ...
Effects of PSA Removal from NCAM on the Critical Period Plasticity Triggered by the Antidepressant Fluoxetine in the Visual Cortex
(Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016)
Neuronal plasticity peaks during critical periods of postnatal development and is reduced
towards adulthood. Recent data suggests that windows of juvenile-like plasticity can
be triggered in the adult brain by antidepressant ...
