• Cortical Tracking of Speech-in-Noise Develops from Childhood to Adulthood 

  Vander Ghinst, Marc; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Niesen, Maxime; Wens, Vincent; Hassid, Sergio; Choufani, Georges; Jousmäki, Veikko; Hari, Riitta; Goldman, Serge; De Tiège, Xavier (The Journal of Neuroscience,, 2019)

  In multitalker backgrounds, the auditory cortex of adult humans tracks the attended speech stream rather than the global auditory scene. Still, it is unknown whether such preferential tracking also occurs in children whose ...
• Neurobiological signatures of L2 proficiency: Evidence from a bi-directional cross-linguistic study 

  Brice, Henry; Mencl, William Einar; Frost, Stephen J.; Bick, Atira Sara; Rueckl, Jay G.; Pugh, Kenneth R.; Frost, Ram (Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2019)

  Recent evidence has shown that convergence of print and speech processing across a network of primarily left-hemisphere regions of the brain is a predictor of future reading skills in children, and a marker of fluent ...
• Not All Bilinguals Are the Same: A Call for More Detailed Assessments and Descriptions of Bilingual Experiences 

  de Bruin, Angela (Behavioral Sciences, 2019)

  No two bilinguals are the same. Differences in bilingual experiences can affect language-related processes but have also been proposed to modulate executive functioning. Recently, there has been an increased interest in ...
• Predictions as a window into learning: Anticipatory fixation offsets carry more information about environmental statistics than reactive stimulus-responses 

  Notaro, Giuseppe; van Zoest, Wieske; Altman, Magda; Melcher, David (Journal of Vision, 2019)

  A core question underlying neurobiological and computational models of behavior is how individuals learn environmental statistics and use them to make predictions. Most investigations of this issue have relied on reactive ...
