Data-science ready, multisite, human diffusion MRI whitematter- tract statistics
(Scientific Data, 2020)The white matter tracts in the living human brain are critical for healthy function, and the diffusion MRI measured in these tracts is correlated with diverse behavioral measures. The technical skills required to analyze ... -
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ... -
Decoding and encoding models reveal the role of mental simulation in the brain representation of meaning
Soto, David
; Sheikh, Usman Ayub; Mei, Ning; Santana Hermida, Roberto (Royal Society Open Science, 2020)
How the brain representation of conceptual knowledge varies as a function of processing goals, strategies and task-factors remains a key unresolved question in cognitive neuroscience. In the present functional magnetic ... -
Decoding fMRI Events in Sensorimotor Motor Network Using Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping and Activation Likelihood Estimates
(Human Brain Mapping, 2017)Most functional MRI (fMRI) studies map task-driven brain activity using a block or event-related paradigm. Sparse paradigm free mapping (SPFM) can detect the onset and spatial distribution of BOLD events in the brain without ... -
Decoding motor expertise from fine-tuned oscillatory network organization
(WILEY, 2022)Can motor expertise be robustly predicted by the organization of frequency-specific oscillatory brain networks? To answer this question, we recorded high-density electroencephalography (EEG) in expert Tango dancers and ... -
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 ... -
Decoding the Meaning of Unconsciously Processed Words Using fMRI-based MVPA
Sheikh, Usman Ayub; ; Soto, David (NeuroImage, 2019)
Does the human brain elicit patterns of activity associated with the meaning of words in the absence of conscious awareness? Do such non-conscious semantic representations generalize across languages? This study aimed to ... -
Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ... -
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 ... -
Depression and Anxiety in the Postnatal Period: An Examination of Infants' Home Language Environment, Vocalizations, and Expressive Language Abilities
(Child Development, 2020)This longitudinal study investigated the effects of maternal emotional health concerns, on infants' home language environment, vocalization quantity, and expressive language skills. Mothers and their infants (at 6 and 12 ... -
Development of neural oscillatory activity in response to speech in children from 4 to 6 years old
(Developmental Science, 2020)Recent neurophysiological theories propose that the cerebral hemispheres collaborate to resolve the complex temporal nature of speech, such that left-hemisphere (or bilateral) gamma-band oscillatory activity would ... -
Development of the visual white matter pathways mediates development of electrophysiological responses in visual cortex
(Human Brain Mapping, 2021)The latency of neural responses in the visual cortex changes systematically across the lifespan. Here, we test the hypothesis that development of visual white matter pathways mediates maturational changes in the latency ... -
Developmental changes associated with cross-language similarity in bilingual children
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)The main goal of the present study was to investigate how the degree of orthographic overlap between translation equivalents influences bilingual word recognition processes at different stages of reading development. ... -
Developmental Differences across Middle Childhood in Memory and Suggestibility for Negative and Positive Events
(Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 2016)In the present study, we investigated age differences in children's eyewitness memory and suggestibility for negative and positive events that children often experience during middle childhood. We first examined 216 ratings ... -
Déjà-lu: When Orthographic Representations are Generated in the Absence of Orthography
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)When acquiring novel spoken words, English-speaking children generate preliminary orthographic representations even before seeing the words’ spellings (Wegener et al., 2018). Interestingly, these orthographic skeletons are ... -
Differences in word learning in children: Bilingualism or linguistic experience?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2021)The current study examines how monolingual children and bilingual children with languages that are orthotactically similar and dissimilar learn novel words depending on their characteristics. We contrasted word learning ... -
Differential brain-to-brain entrainment while speaking and listening in native and foreign languages
(cortex, 2019)The study explores interbrain neural coupling when interlocutors engage in a conversation whether it be in their native or nonnative language. To this end, electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to study brain-to-brain ... -
Directional asymmetries reveal a universal bias in adult vowel perception
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017)Research on cross-language vowel perception in both infants and adults has shown that for many vowel contrasts, discrimination is easier when the same pair of vowels is presented in one direction compared to the reverse ... -
Discourse Expectations Are Sensitive to the Question Under Discussion: Evidence From ERPs
(Discourse Processes, 2020)Questions under Discussion (QUDs) have been suggested to influence the integration of individual utterances into a discourse-level representation. Previous work has shown that processing ungrammatical ellipses is facilitated ... -
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
(Cortex, 2017)Sentence comprehension is successfully accomplished by means of a form-to-meaning mapping procedure that relies on the extraction of morphosyntactic information from the input and its mapping to higher-level semantic–discourse ...
