The main goal of the current doctoral dissertation was to examine the contribution of brain and behavioural rhythmic sensitivity during pre-reading stages to the development of future reading. To achieve this goal, we ...
The visual attention span as a measure of orthographic grain size: effects of orthograpic depth and morphological complexity.
(2018-12-12)
This thesis studies some of the factors modulating the size of the orthographic units (or grains) that are used in reading. Two of these factors are reading expertise and word familiarity that are both related to whether ...

The time-course of semantic ambiguity: behavioural and electroencephalographic investigations
(2019-12-17)
¿Es posible asociar diferentes cantidades de procesamiento semántico a diferentes efectos de ambigüedad semántica? ¿Podría la dinámica temporal del procesamiento semántico por lo tanto explicar algunos de los efectos ...
Oscillatory characterization of sensory wordform pre-activation in the visual and auditory domains.
(2019-11-29)
Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental cognitive mechanism. However, empirical data regarding the neural correlates of the predictions themselves are still scarce. One outstanding question, especially within the ...
