ICA-based denoising strategies in breath-hold induced cerebrovascular reactivity mapping with multi echo BOLD fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2021)Performing a BOLD functional MRI (fMRI) acquisition during breath-hold (BH) tasks is a non-invasive, robust method to estimate cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). However, movement and breathing-related artefacts caused by ... -
Idiosyncratic use of bottom-up and top-down information leads to differences in speech perception flexibility: Converging evidence from ERPs and eye-tracking
(Brain and Language, 2021)Listeners generally categorize speech sounds in a gradient manner. However, recent work, using a visual analogue scaling (VAS) task, suggests that some listeners show more categorical performance, leading to less flexible ... -
Imageability ratings across languages
(Behavior Research Methods, 2018)Imageability is a psycholinguistic variable that indicates how well a word gives rise to a mental image or sensory experience. Imageability ratings are used extensively in psycholinguistic, neuropsychological, and ... -

Impaired neural entrainment to low frequency amplitude modulations in English-speaking children with dyslexia or dyslexia and DLD
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Neural synchronization to amplitude-modulated noise at three frequencies (2 Hz, 5 Hz, 8 Hz) thought to be important for syllable perception was investigated in English-speaking school-aged children. The theoretically-important ... -
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 ... -
Implementing EEG hyperscanning setups
(MethodsX, 2019)Hyperscanning refers to obtaining simultaneous neural recordings from more than one person (Montage et al., 2002 [1]), that can be used to study interactive situations. In particular, hyperscanning with Electroencephalography ... -
Improved memory for information learnt before alcohol use in social drinkers tested in a naturalistic setting
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Alcohol is known to facilitate memory if given after learning information in the laboratory; we aimed to investigate whether this effect can be found when alcohol is consumed in a naturalistic setting. Eighty-eight social ... -
Improving Reading Through Videogames and Digital Apps: A Systematic Review
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2021)Background: The use of electronic interventions to improve reading is becoming a common resource. This systematic review aims to describe the main characteristics of randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental ... -
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 ... -
Inaccurate cortical tracking of speech in adults with impaired speech perception in noise
(Brain Communications, 2021)Impaired speech perception in noise despite normal peripheral auditory function is a common problem in young adults. Despite a growing body of research, the pathophysiology of this impairment remains unknown. This ... -
Incidental changes in orthographic processing in the native language as a function of learning a new language late in life
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)Acquiring a second alphabetic language also entails learning a new set of orthographic rules and specific patterns of grapheme combinations (namely, the orthotactics). The present longitudinal study aims to investigate ... -
Increased top-down semantic processing in natural speech linked to better reading in dyslexia
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Early research proposed that individuals with developmental dyslexia use contextual information to facilitate lexical access and compensate for phonological deficits. Yet at present there is no corroborating neuro-cognitive ... -
Infants use phonetic detail in speech perception and word learning when detail is easy to perceive
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)Infants successfully discriminate speech sound contrasts that belong to their native language’s phonemic inventory in auditory-only paradigms, but they encounter difficulties in distinguishing the same contrasts in the ... -
Infants’ Sensitivity to Lexical Tone and Word Stress in Their First Year: A Thai and English Cross- Language Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Non-tone language infants’ native language recognition is based first on supra-segmental then segmental cues, but this trajectory is unknown for tone-language infants. This study investigated non-tone (English) and ... -
Infant‐directed speech to infants at risk for dyslexia: A novel cross‐dyad design
(Wiley, 2020)When mothers speak to infants at risk for developmental dyslexia, they do not hyperarticulate vowels in their infant‐directed speech (IDS). Here, we used an innovative cross‐dyad design to investigate whether the absence ... -
Information‑seeking across auditory scenes by an echolocating dolphin
(SPRINGER, 2022)Dolphins gain information through echolocation, a publicly accessible sensory system in which dolphins produce clicks and process returning echoes, thereby both investigating and contributing to auditory scenes. How their ... -
Informative neural representations of unseen contents during higher-order processing in human brains and deep artificial networks
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2022)A framework to pinpoint the scope of unconscious processing is critical to improve models of visual consciousness. Previous research observed brain signatures of unconscious processing in visual cortex, but these were not ... -
Inhibitory and facilitatory effects of phonological and orthographic similarity on L2 word recognition across modalities in bilinguals
(Scientific Reports, 2021)Language perception studies on bilinguals often show that words that share form and meaning across languages (cognates) are easier to process than words that share only meaning. This facilitatory phenomenon is known as the ... -
Inhibitory Control for Emotional and Neutral Scenes in Competition: An Eye-Tracking Study in Bipolar Disorder
(Biological Psychology, 2017)This study examined the inhibitory control of attention to social scenes in manic, depressive, and euthymic episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Two scenes were simultaneously presented (happy/threatening/neutral [target] ...
