Different electrophysiological signatures of similarity-induced and Stroop-like interference in language production
(MIT PRESS, 2023)
Contextual similarity between targets and competitors, whether semantic or phonological, often leads to behavioral interference in language production. It has been assumed that resolving such interference relies on control ...
Word frequency and reading demands modulate brain activation in the inferior frontal gyrus
(NATURE, 2023)
Processing efficiency differs between high- and low-frequency words, with less frequent words
resulting in longer response latencies in several linguistic behavioral tasks. Nevertheless, studies
using functional MRI to ...
Whistling shares a common tongue with speech: bioacoustics from real-time MRI of the human vocal tract
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019)
Most human communication is carried by modulations of the voice. However, a wide range of cultures has developed alternative forms of communication that make use of a whistled sound source. For example, whistling is used ...
Discovery of 42 genome-wide significant loci associated with dyslexia
(SPRINGER NATURE, 2022)
Reading and writing are crucial life skills but roughly one in ten children are
affected by dyslexia, which can persist into adulthood. Family studies of
dyslexia suggest heritability up to 70%, yet few convincing genetic ...
Functional characterization of correct and incorrect feature integration
(OXFORD, 2023)
Our sensory system constantly receives information from the environment and our own body. Despite our impression to the contrary, we remain largely unaware of this information and often cannot report it correctly. Although ...
Voice onset time and vowel formant measures in online testing and laboratory-based testing with(out) surgical face masks
(ASA, 2023)
Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, conducting experiments online is increasingly common, and face masks are often used in everyday life. It remains unclear whether phonetic detail in speech production is captured adequately ...
The Scientific Study of Consciousness Cannot and Should Not Be Morally Neutral
(SAGE, 2023)
A target question for the scientific study of consciousness is how dimensions of consciousness, such as the ability to
feel pain and pleasure or reflect on one’s own experience, vary in different states and animal species. ...
Humans in Love Are Singing Birds: Socially-Mediated Brain Activity in Language Production
(MIT PRESS, 2023)
This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated whether and how the
human speech production circuit is mediated by social factors. Participants recited a poem in
the MRI scanner while viewing pictures ...
Computational Modeling of Language Learning in the Era of Generative Artificial Intelligence: A Response to Open Peer Commentaries
(WILEY, 2023)
In the last few years, researchers have realized that bilingualism is not a unitary concept but a phenomenon on a continuum (DeLuca et al., 2019). As Marian (2022) also noted in her commentary, bilingualism is not an ...
Acoustic features of infant-directed speech to infants with hearing loss
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020)
This study investigated the effects of hearing loss and hearing experience on the acoustic features of infant-directed speech (IDS) to infants with hearing loss (HL) compared to controls with normal hearing (NH) matched ...
