Rhythms in cognition: The evidence revisited
(WILEY, 2022)Brain activity abounds with rhythmic patterns (Capilla et al., 2021; Groppe et al., 2013; Keitel & Gross, 2016) that reflect ongoing fluctuations of neuronal excitability (Adrian & Matthews, 1934; Bishop, 1932). These ... -
Right Posterior Temporal Cortex Supports Integration of Phonetic and Talker Information
(MIT PRESS, 2023)Though the right hemisphere has been implicated in talker processing, it is thought to play a minimal role in phonetic processing, at least relative to the left hemisphere. Recent evidence suggests that the right posterior ... -
Right-hemisphere coherence to speech at prereading stages predicts reading performance one year later
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Neural entrainment to the low-frequency modulations of speech might contribute significantly to reading acquisition. Still, no previous study has actually attempted to establish a longitudinal link between them. The ... -
Robust Lexically Mediated Compensation for Coarticulation: Christmash Time Is Here Again
(Cognitive Science, 2021)A long-standing question in cognitive science is how high-level knowledge is integrated with sensory input. For example, listeners can leverage lexical knowledge to interpret an ambiguous speech sound, but do such effects ... -
The Role of Morphological Markedness in the Processing of Number and Gender Agreement in Spanish: An Event-Related Potential Investigation
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Current morphological theory assumes that feature values, such as masculine and feminine or singular and plural, are asymmetrically represented. That is, one member of the opposition (e.g. feminine for gender, plural for ... -
rt-me-fMRI: a task and resting state dataset for real-time, multi-echo fMRI methods development and validation
(F1000Research, 2021)A multi-echo fMRI dataset (N=28 healthy participants) with four task-based and two resting state runs was collected, curated and made available to the community. Its main purpose is to advance the development of methods ... -
Second-language word recognition in noise: Interdependent neuromodulatory effects of semantic context and crosslinguistic interactions driven by word form similarity
(NeuroImage, 2021)Spoken language comprehension is a fundamental component of our cognitive skills. We are quite proficient at deciphering words from the auditory input despite the fact that the speech we hear is often masked by noise such ... -
Seeing a Talking Face Matters: Gaze Behavior and the Auditory–Visual Speech Benefit in Adults’ Cortical Tracking of Infant-directed Speech
(MIT PRESS, 2023)In face-to-face conversations, listeners gather visual speech information from a speaker's talking face that enhances their perception of the incoming auditory speech signal. This auditory-visual (AV) speech benefit is ... -
Seeing a talking face matters: Infants' segmentation of continuous auditory-visual speech
(WILEY, 2023)Visual speech cues from a speaker's talking face aid speech segmentation in adults, but despite the importance of speech segmentation in language acquisition, little is known about the possible influence of visual speech ... -
Seeing a talking face matters: The relationship between cortical tracking of continuous auditory ‐visual speech and gaze behaviour in infants, children and adults
(ELSEVIER, 2022)An auditory-visual speech benefit, the benefit that visual speech cues bring to auditory speech perception, is experienced from early on in infancy and continues to be experienced to an increasing degree with age. While ... -
Selective Adaptation in Speech: Measuring the Effects of Visual and Lexical Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)Speech selective adaptation is a phenomenon in which repeated presentation of a speech stimulus alters subsequent phonetic categorization. Prior work has reported that lexical, but not multisensory, context influences ... -
Self-administered transcranial direct current stimulation treatment of knee osteoarthritis alters pain-related fNIRS connectivity networks
(SPIE.DIGITAL LIBRARY, 2023)Significance: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that causes chronic pain in the elderly population. Currently, OA is mainly treated pharmacologically with analgesics, although research has shown that neuromodulation ... -
Self-bias and the emotionality of foreign languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)Foreign language contexts impose a relative psychological and emotional distance in bilinguals. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that the use of a foreign language changes the strength of the seemingly automatic ... -
Semantic Integration and Age of Acquisition Effects in Code-Blend Comprehension
(Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2016)Semantic and lexical decision tasks were used to investigate the mechanisms underlying code-blend facilitation: the finding that hearing bimodal bilinguals comprehend signs in American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken ... -
Semantic parafoveal processing in natural reading: Insight from fixation-related potentials & eye movements
(WILEY, 2022)Prior research suggests that we may access the meaning of parafoveal words during reading. We explored how semantic-plausibility parafoveal processing takes place in natural reading through the co-registration of eye ... -
Semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects and preview benefits in reading: Evidence from Fixation Related Potentials
(Brain and Language, 2016)During reading parafoveal information can affect the processing of the word currently fixated (parafovea-on-fovea effect) and words perceived parafoveally can facilitate their subsequent processing when they are fixated ... -
Semantic priming effects can be modulated by crosslinguistic interactions during second-language auditory word recognition
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2020)The current study investigates how second language auditory word recognition, in early and highly proficient Spanish–Basque (L1-L2) bilinguals, is influenced by crosslinguistic phonological-lexical interactions and semantic ... -
Sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infancy and vocabulary development at 3 years: A significant relationship
(Developmental Science, 2019)Here we report, for the first time, a relationship between sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infants and their later vocabulary development. Recent research in auditory neuroscience has revealed that amplitude ... -
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. Here ... -
Sensorimotor Mapping With MEG: An Update on the Current State of Clinical Research and Practice With Considerations for Clinical Practice Guidelines
(Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020)In this article, we present the clinical indications and advances in the use of magnetoencephalography to map the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex in neurosurgical patients noninvasively. We emphasize the advantages ...
