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 ...
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
(Cortex, 2017)
Sentence comprehension is successfully accomplished by means of a form-to-meaning mapping procedure that relies on the extraction of morphosyntactic information from the input and its mapping to higher-level semantic–discourse ...
Amodal Atypical Neural Oscillatory Activity in Dyslexia: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective
(Clinical Psychological Science, 2017)
It has been proposed that atypical neural oscillations in both the auditory and the visual modalities could explain why
some individuals fail to learn to read and suffer from developmental dyslexia. However, the role of ...
Out-of-Synchrony Speech Entrainment in Developmental Dyslexia
(Human Brain Mapping, 2016)
Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder often characterized by reduced awareness of speech units. Whether the neural source of this phonological disorder in dyslexic readers results from the malfunctioning of the ...
Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension
(Brain & Language, 2016)
Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ...
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ...
Reading-Related Brain Changes in Audiovisual Processing: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal MEG Evidence
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
The ability to establish associations between visual objects and speech sounds is essential for human reading. Understanding
the neural adjustments required for acquisition of these arbitrary audiovisual associations can ...
Oscillatory and Structural Signatures of Language Plasticity in Brain Tumor Patients: a Longitudinal Study
(Wiley, 2021-04-15)
Recent evidence suggests that damage to the language network triggers its functional reorganization. Yet, the spectro-temporal fingerprints of this plastic rearrangement and its relation to anatomical changes is less well ...
Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)
Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ...
Increased top-down semantic processing in natural speech linked to better reading in dyslexia
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Early research proposed that individuals with developmental dyslexia use contextual information to facilitate lexical access and compensate for phonological deficits. Yet at present there is no corroborating neuro-cognitive ...
