Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ... -
Cross-modal noise compensation in audiovisual words
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Perceiving linguistic input is vital for human functioning, but the process is complicated by the fact that the incoming signal is often degraded. However, humans can compensate for unimodal noise by relying on simultaneous ... -
Neuropsychological evaluation of pragmatics in a patient with acquired brain injury
(Academia Mexicana de Neurologia, 2017)Studies in patients with brain injury have provided to clinical practice a wide range of valuable language assessment tools and rehabilitation strategies. In contrast, the ability to make a proper use of language adapted ... -
Where do dialectal effects on speech processing come from? Evidence from a cross-dialect investigation
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017)Accented speech has been seen as an additional impediment for speech processing; it usually adds linguistic and cognitive load to the listener's task. In the current study we analyse where the processing costs of regional ... -
Cross-linguistic adaptations of The Comprehensive Aphasia Test: Challenges and solutions
(Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2017)Comparative research on aphasia and aphasia rehabilitation is challenged by the lack of comparable assessment tools across different languages. In English, a large array of tools is available, while in most other languages, ... -

Interventional programmes to improve cognition during healthy and pathological ageing: Cortical modulations and evidence for brain plasticity
(Ageing Research Reviews, 2018)A growing body of evidence suggests that healthy elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease retain an important potential for neuroplasticity. This review summarizes studies investigating the modulation of ... -

Perceptual facilitation of word recognition through motor activation during sentence comprehension
(cortex, 2018)Despite the growing literature on anticipatory language processing, the brain dynamics of this high-level predictive process are still unclear. In the present MEG study, we analyzed pre- and post-stimulus oscillatory ... -
Widening agreement processing: a matter of time, features and distance
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2018)Existing psycholinguistic models typically describe agreement relations as monolithic phenomena amounting to mechanisms that check mere feature consistency. This eye-tracking study aimed at widening this perspective by ... -
Presurgical electromagnetic functional brain mapping in refractory focal epilepsy
(Zeitschrift für Epileptologie, 2018)Background. Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are neurophysiological methods used to investigate noninvasively the spatial, temporal, and spectral dynamics of human brain functions. Objectives. ... -
The impact of foreign accent on irony interpretation
(PLoS ONE, 2018)In modern multi-cultural societies, conversations between foreign speakers and native listeners have become very common. These exchanges often include the use of figurative language. The present study examines, for the ... -
Sound changes that lead to seeing longer-lasting shapes
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2018)To survive, people must construct an accurate representation of the world around them. There is a body of research on visual scene analysis, and a largely separate literature on auditory scene analysis. The current study ... -
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ... -
Autistic traits predict poor integration between top-down contextual expectations and movement kinematics during action observation
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Autism is associated with difficulties in predicting and understanding other people’s actions. There is evidence that autistic traits are distributed across a spectrum and that subclinical forms of autistic impairments can ... -
Commentary: Coding of serial order in verbal, visual and spatial working memory
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)... -
Setting the alarm: Word emotional attributes require consolidation to be operational
(Emotion, 2018)Demonstrations of emotional Stroop in conditioned made-up words are flawed because of the lack of task ensuring similar word encoding across conditions. Here, participants were trained on associations between made-up words ... -
A Translational Framework of Educational Neuroscience in Learning Disorders
(Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2018)Neuroimaging has undergone enormous progress during the last two and a half decades. The combination of neuroscientific methods and educational practice has become a focus of interdisciplinary research in order to answer ... -
Voluntary language switching: When and why do bilinguals switch between their languages?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)Bilingual language switching has been studied extensively in cued picture naming paradigms, instructing bilinguals when to switch between languages. However, in daily life, bilinguals often switch freely, without ... -
The effects of ethnicity, musicianship, and tone language experience on pitch perception
