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 ...
Foreign-accented speech modulates linguistic anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)
Listeners are able to anticipate upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and, as a result, they also pre-activate semantically related words. In the present study, we aim at exploring whether these anticipatory ...
Fast and sequence-adaptive whole-brain segmentation using parametric Bayesian modeling
(NeuroImage, 2016)
Quantitative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain requires accurate automated segmentation of anatomical structures. A desirable feature for such segmentation methods is to be robust against ...
The effects of motivational reward on the pathological attentional blink following right hemisphere stroke
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)
Recent work has shown that attentional deficits following stroke can be modulated by motivational stimulation, particularly anticipated monetary reward. Here we examined the effects of anticipated reward on the pathological ...
Semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects and preview benefits in reading: Evidence from Fixation Related Potentials
(Brain and Language, 2016)
During reading parafoveal information can affect the processing of the word currently fixated (parafovea-on-fovea effect) and words perceived parafoveally can facilitate their subsequent processing when they are fixated ...
Sleep in children triggers rapid reorganization of memory-related brain processes
(NeuroImage, 2016)
Behavioral evidence shows that sleep is crucial for the consolidation of declarative memories in children as in adults. However, the underlying cerebral mechanisms remain virtually unexplored. Using magnetoencephalography, ...
Evaluation of multi-echo ICA denoising for task based fMRI studies: Block designs, rapid event-related designs, and cardiac-gated fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2016)
Multi-echo fMRI, particularly the multi-echo independent component analysis (ME-ICA) algorithm, has previously proven useful for increasing the sensitivity and reducing false positives for functional MRI (fMRI) based resting ...
Bayesian longitudinal segmentation of hippocampal substructures in brain MRI using subject-specific atlases
(NeuroImage, 2016)
The hippocampal formation is a complex, heterogeneous structure that consists of a number of distinct,
interacting subregions. Atrophy of these subregions is implied in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases,
most ...
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(Cognition, 2016)
People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are
flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with
sounds based on rapid ...
Testing the connections within face processing circuitry in Capgras delusion with diffusion imaging tractography
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2016)
Although Capgras delusion (CD) patients are capable of recognizing familiar faces, they present a delusional belief that some relatives have been replaced by impostors. CD has been explained as a selective disruption of a ...
