Sleep not just protects memories against forgetting, it also makes them more accessible
(Cortex, 2016)Two published datasets (Dumay & Gaskell, 2007, Psychological Science; Tamminen, Payne, Stickgold, Wamsley, & Gaskell, 2010, Journal of Neuroscience) showing a positive influence of sleep on declarative memory were ... -
Sleep State Modulates Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Neonates
(Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020)The spontaneous cerebral activity that gives rise to resting-state networks (RSNs) has been extensively studied in infants in recent years. However, the influence of sleep state on the presence of observable RSNs has yet ... -
Sleeping when the world locks down: Correlates of sleep health during the COVID-19 pandemic across 59 countries
(Sleep Health, 2021)COVID-19 escalated into a global pandemic affecting countries around the world. As communities shut down to reduce disease spread, all aspects of life have been altered, including sleep. This study investigated changes in ... -
Sniffing out meaning: Chemosensory and semantic neural network changes in sommeliers
(WILEY, 2024)Wine tasting is a very complex process that integrates a combination of sensa-tion, language, and memory. Taste and smell provide perceptual information that,together with the semantic narrative that converts flavor into ... -
Social Priming of Speech Perception: The Role of Individual Differences in Implicit Racial and Ethnic Associations
(APA, 2024)Prior research has shown that visual information, such as a speaker’s perceived race or ethnicity, prompts listeners to expect a specific sociophonetic pattern (“social priming”). Indeed, a picture of an East Asian face ... -
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(Cognition, 2016)People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with sounds based on rapid ... -
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 ... -
SPALEX: A Spanish Lexical Decision Database From a Massive Online Data Collection

Sparse coupled logistic regression to estimate co-activation and modulatory influences of brain regions
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2020)Accurate mapping of the functional interactions between remote brain areas with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging requires the quantification of their underlying dynamics. In conventional methodological ... -
Spatial frequency tuning of motor responses reveals differential contribution of dorsal and ventral systems to action comprehension
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020)Understanding object-directed actions performed by others is central to everyday life. This ability is thought to rely on the interaction between the dorsal action observation network (AON) and a ventral object recognition ... -
Spatialization in working memory is related to literacy and reading direction: Culture “literarily” directs our thoughts
(Cognition, 2018)The ability to maintain arbitrary sequences of items in the mind contributes to major cognitive faculties, such as language, reasoning, and episodic memory. Previous research suggests that serial order working memory is ... -
Spatiotemporal dynamics of postoperative functional plasticity in patients with brain tumors in language areas
(Brain and Language, 2020)Postoperative functional neuroimaging provides a unique opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms that facilitate language network reorganization. Previous studies in patients with low grade gliomas (LGGs) in ... -
Speaker Accent Modulates the Effects of Orthographic and Phonological Similarity on Auditory Processing by Learners of English
(Frontiers, 2022)The cognate effect refers to translation equivalents with similar form between languages—i.e., cognates, such as “band” (English) and “banda” (Spanish)—being processed faster than words with dissimilar forms—such as, ... -
Speaker matters: Natural inter-speaker variation affects 4-month-olds’ perception of audio-visual speech
(First Language, 2020)In the language development literature, studies often make inferences about infants’ speech perception abilities based on their responses to a single speaker. However, there can be significant natural variability across ... -
Speech rhythm as naturally occurring and culturally transmitted behavioral patterns
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Rhythm is fundamental to every motor activity. Neural and physiological mechanisms that underlie rhythmic cognition, in general, and rhythmic pattern generation, in particular, are evolutionarily ancient. As speech production ... -
Speech Rhythm Convergence as a Social Coalition Signal
(Evolutionary Psychology, 2019)Patterns of nonverbal and verbal behavior of interlocutors become more similar as communication progresses. Rhythm entrainment promotes prosocial behavior and signals social bonding and cooperation. Yet, it is unknown if ... -
Speech rhythm convergence in a dyadic reading task
(Speech Communication, 2021)We tested the effect of co-presence on entrainment to speech rhythm, examining differences in speech rhythm convergence during a reading task, in conditions where the reading partner was present or absent. Speech rhythm ... -
Speech-brain phase coupling is enhanced in low contextual semantic predictability conditions
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)Semantic prediction and cortical entrainment to the acoustic landmarks of the speech envelope are two fundamental yet qualitatively different mechanisms that facilitate speech comprehension. However, it is not clear ... -
Speech-specific audiovisual integration modulates induced theta-band oscillations

Speech‑derived haptic stimulation enhances speech recognition in a multi‑talker background
(NATURE, 2023)Speech understanding, while effortless in quiet conditions, is challenging in noisy environments. Previous studies have revealed that a feasible approach to supplement speech-in-noise (SiN) perception consists in presenting ...
