Anatomy and physiology of word‑selective visual cortex: from visual features to lexical processing
(Brain Structure and Function, 2021)
Over the past 2 decades, researchers have tried to uncover how the human brain can extract linguistic information from
a sequence of visual symbols. The description of how the brain’s visual system processes words and ...
The time course of processing handwritten words: An ERP investigation
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition.
Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for
less ...
Language Proficiency Entails Tuning Cortical Activity to Second Language Speech
(Cerebral Cortex, 2021)
Cortical tracking of linguistic structures in speech, such as phrases (<3 Hz, delta band) and syllables (3–8 Hz, theta band), is
known to be crucial for speech comprehension. However, it has not been established whether ...
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual reading is item specific
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2021)
The grain size of orthographic representations prompted by a consistent orthography (like
Spanish or Basque) increases if reading is simultaneously learned in another language with
an inconsistent orthography (like ...
Neurocognitive mechanisms supporting the generalization of concepts across languages
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
The neurocognitive mechanisms that support the generalization of semantic representations across different
languages remain to be determined. Current psycholinguistic models propose that semantic representations are
likely ...
Impaired neural response to speech edges in dyslexia
(ScienceDirect, 2021)
Speech comprehension has been proposed to critically rely on oscillatory cortical tracking, that is, phase alignment of neural oscillations to the slow temporal modulations (envelope) of speech. Speech-brain entrainment ...
Reading without phonology: ERP evidence from skilled deaf readers of Spanish
(Scientific Reports, 2021)
Reading typically involves phonological mediation, especially for transparent orthographies with
a regular letter to sound correspondence. In this study we ask whether phonological coding is a
necessary part of the reading ...
The Deployment of Young Readers´ Visual Attention across Orthographic Strings: The Influence of Stems and Suffixes
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units –
stems and suffixes – influence orthographic processing by modulating
visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured
with ...
Cross-linguistic semantic preview benefit in Basque-Spanish bilingual readers: Evidence from fixation-related potentials
(Brain and Language, 2021)
During reading, we can process and integrate information from words allocated in the parafoveal region.
However, whether we extract and process the meaning of parafoveal words is still under debate. Here, we obtained
F ...
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 ...
