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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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] ... -
Input quality and speech perception development in bilingual infants' first year of life
(WILEY, 2022)Individual differences in infants’ native phonological development have been linked to the quantity and quality of infant-directed speech (IDS). The effects of parental and infant bilingualism on this relation in 131 ... -
Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ... -
Integrating Bilingualism, Verbal Fluency, and Executive Functioning across the Lifespan
(Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019)Bilingual experience has an impact on an individual’s linguistic processing and general cognitive abilities. The relation between these linguistic and non-linguistic domains, in turn, is mediated by individual linguistic ... -
Integrating statistical learning into cognitive science
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2020)Over the last two decades statistical learning (SL) has evolved into a key explanatory mechanism underlying the incidental learning of regularities across different domains of cognition, such as language, visual and ... -
Interactions between native and non-native vowels in French-Danish contact: production training study
(Romance-Germanic Bilingual Phonology. Equinox eBooks Publishing, United Kingdom., 2017)Speakers who acquire a foreign language (L2) in adulthood (and even earlier), often experience major difficulties in producing non-native speech sounds, a phenomenon commonly known as having a foreign accent. These ...
