Statistical Speech Segmentation in Tone Languages: The Role of Lexical Tones
(Language and Speech, 2018)
Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For
example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation
of speech based on transitional ...
When Grammar and Parsing Agree
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
Improving the signal detection accuracy of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(NeuroImage, 2018)
A major drawback of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) concerns the lack of detection accuracy of the measured signal. Although this limitation stems in part from the neuro-vascular nature of the fMRI signal, it ...
Is the Hebb repetition task a reliable measure of individual differences in sequence learning?
(QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2018)
The Hebb repetition task, an operationalization of long-term sequence learning through
repetition, is the focus of renewed interest, as it is taken to provide a laboratory analogue for
naturalistic vocabulary acquisition. ...
Does consonant–vowel skeletal structure play a role early in lexical processing? Evidence from masked priming
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2018)
Is the specific consonant–vowel (CV) letter combination of a word a basic source of information for lexical access in the early stages of processing? We designed two masked priming lexical decision experiments to respond ...
Delta(but not theta)-band cortical entrainment involves speech-specific processing
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2018)
Cortical oscillations phase-align to the quasi-rhythmic structure of the speech envelope. This speech-brain entrainment has been reported in two frequency bands, that is both in the theta band (4-8 Hz) and in the delta ...
Learning of goal-relevant and -irrelevant complex visual sequences in human V1
(NeuroImage, 2018)
Learning and memory are supported by a network involving the medial temporal lobe and linked neocortical regions. Emerging evidence indicates that primary visual
cortex (i.e., V1) may contribute to recognition memory, but ...
Prediction of central neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury based on EEG classifier
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018)
Objectives
To create a classifier based on electroencephalography (EEG) to identify spinal cord injured (SCI) participants at risk of developing central neuropathic pain (CNP) by comparing them with patients who had ...
Comparing Semantic Fluency in American Sign Language and English
(Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2018)
This study investigated the impact of language modality and age of acquisition on semantic fluency in American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Experiment 1 compared semantic fluency performance (e.g., name as many animals ...
A probabilistic atlas of the human thalamic nuclei combining ex vivo MRI and histology
(NeuroImage, 2018)
The human thalamus is a brain structure that comprises numerous, highly specific nuclei. Since these nuclei are known to have different functions and to be connected to different areas of the cerebral cortex, it is of great ...
