Perceptual facilitation of word recognition through motor activation during sentence comprehension
(cortex, 2018)Despite the growing literature on anticipatory language processing, the brain dynamics of this high-level predictive process are still unclear. In the present MEG study, we analyzed pre- and post-stimulus oscillatory ... -
Perro or txakur? Bilingual language choice during production is influenced by personal preferences and external primes
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Bilinguals living in a bilingual society continuously need to choose one of their languages to communicate a message. Sometimes, the circumstances (e.g., the presence of a monolingual) dictate language choice. When surrounded ... -
Phase−amplitude coupling between theta and gamma oscillations adapts to speech rate
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Low- and high-frequency cortical oscillations play an important role in speech processing. Low-frequency neural oscillations in the delta (<4Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) bands entrain to the prosodic and syllabic rates of speech, ... -
Phonatory and articulatory representations of speech production in cortical and subcortical fMRI responses
(Scientific Reports, 2020)Speaking involves coordination of multiple neuromotor systems, including respiration, phonation and articulation. Developing non-invasive imaging methods to study how the brain controls these systems is critical for ... -
Phonemic contrasts under construction? Evidence from Basque
Larraza Arnanz, Saioa
; Molnar, Monika; Samuel, Arthur G. (Infancy, 2020)
Attunement theories of speech perception development suggest that native-language exposure is one of the main factors shaping infants' phonemic discrimination capacity within the second half of their first year. Here, ... -
Phonological and orthographic coding in deaf skilled readers
(Cognition, 2017)Written language is very important in daily life. However, most deaf people do not achieve good reading levels compared to their hearing peers. Previous research has mainly focused on their difficulties when reading in a ... -
Physiology of Language
(Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Psychological Science, 2016)Comprehending and producing linguistic utterances relies on complex phonological, syntactic, and semantic representations that we incrementally and unconsciously build as the message unfolds in time. Behind these cognitive ... -
Population Receptive Field Shapes in Early Visual Cortex Are Nearly Circular
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)The visual field region where a stimulus evokes a neural response is called the receptive field (RF). Analytical tools combined with functional MRI (fMRI) can estimate the RF of the population of neurons within a voxel. ... -
Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ... -
Prediction of Agreement and Phonetic Overlap Shape Sublexical Identification
(Language and Speech, 2017)The mapping between the physical speech signal and our internal representations is rarely straightforward. When faced with uncertainty, higher-order information is used to parse the signal and because of this, the lexicon ... -
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 ... -
Predictions as a window into learning: Anticipatory fixation offsets carry more information about environmental statistics than reactive stimulus-responses
(Journal of Vision, 2019)A core question underlying neurobiological and computational models of behavior is how individuals learn environmental statistics and use them to make predictions. Most investigations of this issue have relied on reactive ... -
Predictors of Word and Text Reading Fluency of Deaf Children in Bilingual Deaf Education Programmes
(MDPI, 2022)Reading continues to be a challenging task for most deaf children. Bimodal bilingual education creates a supportive environment that stimulates deaf children’s learning through the use of sign language. However, it is ... -
Presurgical electromagnetic functional brain mapping in refractory focal epilepsy
(Zeitschrift für Epileptologie, 2018)Background. Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are neurophysiological methods used to investigate noninvasively the spatial, temporal, and spectral dynamics of human brain functions. Objectives. ... -
Probing Lexical Ambiguity: Word Vectors Encode Number and Relatedness of Senses
(Cognitive Science, 2021)Lexical ambiguity—the phenomenon of a single word having multiple, distinguishable senses —is pervasive in language. Both the degree of ambiguity of a word (roughly, its number of senses) and the relatedness of those ... -
Processing of semantic and grammatical gender in Spanish speakers with aphasia
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Background: Previous studies have argued that there are two types of linguistic gender: grammatical gender, which is arbitrarily assigned to nouns, and semantic gender, which depends on the gender of the referent. Aim: ... -
Processing Sentences With Multiple Negations: Grammatical Structures That Are Perceived as Unacceptable
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)This investigation draws from research on negative polarity item (NPI) illusions in order to explore a new and interesting instance of misalignment observed for grammatical sentences containing two negative markers. Previous ... -
Progression from selective to general involvement of hippocampal subfields in schizophrenia
(Molecular Psychiatry, 2017)Volume deficits of the hippocampus in schizophrenia have been consistently reported. However, the hippocampus is anatomically heterogeneous; it remains unclear whether certain portions of the hippocampus are affected more ... -
Proprioceptive response strength in the primary sensorimotor cortex is invariant to the range of finger movement
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex can be elicited by stim- ... -
Prosodic cues in infant-directed speech facilitate young children’s conversational turn predictions
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)Experienced language users are able to predict when conversational turns approach completion, which allows them to attend to and comprehend their interlocutor’s speech while planning and accurately timing their response. ...
