Body into Narrative: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Signatures of Action Text Processing After Ecological Motor Training
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Embodied cognition research indicates that sensorimotor training can influence action concept processing. Yet, most studies employ isolated (pseudo)randomized stimuli and require repetitive single-effector responses, ... -
Brain activity patterns of phonemic representations are atypical in beginning readers with family risk for dyslexia
(Developmental Science, 2020)There is an ongoing debate whether phonological deficits in dyslexics should be attributed to (a) less specified representations of speech sounds, like suggested by studies in young children with a familial risk for ... -
Brain Networks Modulation in Young and Old Subjects During Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Applied on Prefrontal and Parietal Cortex
(World Scientific Publishing, 2022)Evidence indicates that the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential to transiently modulate cognitive function, including age-related changes in brain performance. Only a small number of studies ... -
Brain Signatures of Embodied Semantics and Language: A Consensus Paper
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)According to embodied theories (including embodied, embedded, extended, enacted, situated, and grounded approaches to cognition), language representation is intrinsically linked to our interactions with the world around ... -
Brain structure, phenotypic and genetic correlates of reading performance
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2023)Reading is an evolutionarily recent development that recruits and tunes brain circuitry connecting primary- and language-processing regions. We investigated whether metrics of the brain’s physical structure correlate with ... -
Brain-behavior relationships in incidental learning of non-native phonetic categories
(Brain and Language, 2019)Research has implicated the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) in mapping acoustic-phonetic input to sound category representations, both in native speech perception and non-native phonetic category learning. At issue is ... -
Brain-to-brain entrainment: EEG interbrain synchronization while speaking and listening
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to investigate interbrain synchronization patterns in dyads of participants interacting through speech. Results show that brain oscillations are synchronized between listener ... -
Brainhack: Developing a culture of open, inclusive, community-driven neuroscience
(Neuron, 2021)Brainhack is an innovative meeting format that promotes scientific collaboration and education in an open, inclusive environment. This NeuroView describes the myriad benefits for participants and the research community and ... -
Breaking Down the Bilingual Cost in Speech Production
(Cognitive Science, 2016)Bilinguals have been shown to perform worse than monolinguals in a variety of verbal tasks. This study investigated this bilingual verbal cost in a large-scale picture-naming study conducted in Spanish. We explored how ... -
Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm: The Case of Italian and English
(Language and Speech, 2020)We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal ... -
Cardiac afferent activity modulates early neural signature of error detection during skilled performance
(NeuroImage, 2019)Behavioral adaptations during performance rely on predicting and evaluating the consequences of our actions through action monitoring. Previous studies revealed that proprioceptive and exteroceptive signals contribute to ... -
Changes in electrophysiological static and dynamic human brain functional architecture from childhood to late adulthood
(Scientific Reports, 2020)This magnetoencephalography study aimed at characterizing age-related changes in resting-state functional brain organization from mid-childhood to late adulthood. We investigated neuromagnetic brain activity at rest in 105 ... -
Changes in the Sensitivity to Language-Specific Orthographic Patterns With Age
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)How do bilingual readers of languages that have similar scripts identify a language switch? Recent behavioral and electroencephalographic results suggest that they rely on orthotactic cues to recognize the language of ... -
Characterizing multi-word speech production using event-related potentials
(Psychophysiology, 2021)Event-related potentials (ERPs) derived from electroencephalography (EEG) have proven useful for understanding linguistic processes during language perception and production. Words are commonly produced in sequences, yet ... -
Chronset: An automated tool for detecting speech onset
(Behavior Research Methods, 2017)The analysis of speech onset times has a longstanding tradition in experimental psychology as a measure of how a stimulus influences a spoken response. Yet the lack of accurate automatic methods to measure such ... -
Classification of Overt and Covert Speech for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Brain Computer Interface
(Sensors, 2018)People suffering from neuromuscular disorders such as locked-in syndrome (LIS) are left in a paralyzed state with preserved awareness and cognition. In this study, it was hypothesized that changes in local hemodynamic ... -
Clear Theories Are Needed to Interpret Differences: Perspectives on the Bilingual Advantage Debate
(Neurobiology of Language, 2021)The heated debate regarding bilingual cognitive advantages remains ongoing. While there are many studies supporting positive cognitive effects of bilingualism, recent meta-analyses have concluded that there is no consistent ... -
Closing eyes during auditory memory retrieval modulates alpha rhythm but does not alter tau rhythm
(NeuroImage, 2019)The alpha power increase that occurs when the eyes are closed is one of the most well-known effects in human electrophysiology. In particular, previous psychological studies have investigated whether eye closure can boost ... -
Co-activation of the L2 during L1 auditory processing: An ERP cross-modal priming study
(Brain and Language, 2020)Several studies have shown that unbalanced bilinguals activate both of their languages simultaneously during L2 processing; however, evidence for L2 activation while participants are tested exclusively in their L1 has been ... -
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
