Redefining “Learning” in Statistical Learning: What Does an Online Measure Reveal About the Assimilation of Visual Regularities?
(Cognitive Science, 2018)From a theoretical perspective, most discussions of statistical learning (SL) have focused on the possible “statistical” properties that are the object of learning. Much less attention has been given to defining what ... -
Regional Hippocampal Atrophy and Higher Levels of Plasma Amyloid-Beta Are Associated With Subjective Memory Complaints in Nondemented Elderly Subjects
(The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, 2016)Background: Evidence suggests a link between the presence of subjective memory complaints (SMC) and lower volume of the hippocampus, one of the first regions to show neuropathological lesions in Alzheimer’s disease. ... -
Regularity in speech rhythm as a social coalition signal
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Regular rhythm facilitates audiomotor entrainment and synchronization in motor behavior and vocalizations between individuals. As rhythm entrainment between interacting agents is correlated with higher levels of ... -
Relative meaning frequencies for 578 homonyms in two Spanish dialects: A cross-linguistic extension of the English eDom norms
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)Relative meaning frequency is a critical factor to consider in studies of semantic ambiguity. In this work, we examined how this measure may change across the European and Rioplatense dialects of Spanish, as well as how ... -
Relative Salience of Speech Rhythm and Speech Rate on Perceived Foreign Accent in a Second Language
(Language and Speech, 2017)We investigated the independent contribution of speech rate and speech rhythm to perceived foreign accent. To address this issue we used a resynthesis technique that allows neutralizing segmental and tonal idiosyncrasies ... -
Replication and generalization in applied neuroimaging
(NeuroImage, 2019)There is much interest in translating neuroimaging findings into meaningful clinical diagnostics. The goal of scientific discoveries differs from clinical diagnostics. Scientific discoveries must replicate under a specific ... -
Representation and processing of multi-word expressions in the brain
(Brain and Language, 2017)Language comprehension is sensitive to the predictability of the upcoming information. Prediction allows for smooth, expedient and successful communication. While general discourse-based constraints have been investigated ... -
Reproducible protocol to obtain and measure first-order relay human thalamic white-matter tracts
(ELSEVIER, 2022)The “primary ”or “first-order relay ”nuclei of the thalamus feed the cerebral cortex with information about on- going activity in the environment or the subcortical motor systems. Because of the small size of these nuclei ... -
Reproducible Tract Profiles 2 (RTP2) suite, from diffusion MRI acquisition to clinical practice and research
(NATURE, 2023)Diffusion MRI is a complex technique, where new discoveries and implementations occur at a fast pace. The expertise needed for data analyses and accurate and reproducible results is increasingly demanding and requires ... -
Retrospective Head Motion Estimation in Structural Brain MRI with 3D CNNs
(Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention − MICCAI 2017. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2017)Head motion is one of the most important nuisance variables in neuroimaging, particularly in studies of clinical or special populations, such as children. However, the possibility of estimating motion in structural MRI is ... -
Reward sensitivity predicts dopaminergic response in spatial neglect
(Cortex, 2020)It has recently been revealed that spatial neglect can be modulated by motivational factors including anticipated monetary reward. A number of dopaminergic agents have been evaluated as treatments for neglect, but the ... -
Rhythm discrimination and metronome tapping in 4-year-old children at risk for developmental dyslexia
(Cognitive Development, 2021)Temporally accurate perception and production of rhythmic patterns are key factors related to language development and reading acquisition. Here we investigate rhythm discrimination and rhythm production in children who ... -
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 ...
