Cross-modal and cross-language activation in bilinguals reveals lexical competition even when words or signs are unheard or unseen
(PNAS, 2022)We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a sign coactivates phonologically related signs, just ... -
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 ... -
Customized Application of tDCS for Clinical Rehabilitation in Alzheimer’s Disease
(frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive-behavior deficits, which strongly impact daily-life activities (Weintraub et al., 2012). Currently, the limited efficacy of pharmacological ... -
Data from the Paper Entitled “Application of a Bayesian Approach for Exploring the Impact of Syllable Frequency in Handwritten Picture Naming”
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2024)The data presented here comes from the Perret and Solier (2022) study. 30 participants handwrote labels for 150 black-and-white drawings. The experiment was carried out using the DmDx program. Response times and production ... -
Data-science ready, multisite, human diffusion MRI whitematter- tract statistics
(Scientific Data, 2020)The white matter tracts in the living human brain are critical for healthy function, and the diffusion MRI measured in these tracts is correlated with diverse behavioral measures. The technical skills required to analyze ... -
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ... -
Decoding and encoding models reveal the role of mental simulation in the brain representation of meaning
(Royal Society Open Science, 2020)How the brain representation of conceptual knowledge varies as a function of processing goals, strategies and task-factors remains a key unresolved question in cognitive neuroscience. In the present functional magnetic ... -
Decoding bilingualism from resting-state oscillatory network organization
(WILEY, 2024)Can lifelong bilingualism be robustly decoded from intrinsic brain connectivity? Can we determine, using a spectrally resolved approach, the oscillatory networks that better predict dual-language experience? We recorded ... -
Decoding fMRI Events in Sensorimotor Motor Network Using Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping and Activation Likelihood Estimates
(Human Brain Mapping, 2017)Most functional MRI (fMRI) studies map task-driven brain activity using a block or event-related paradigm. Sparse paradigm free mapping (SPFM) can detect the onset and spatial distribution of BOLD events in the brain without ... -
Decoding motor expertise from fine-tuned oscillatory network organization
(WILEY, 2022)Can motor expertise be robustly predicted by the organization of frequency-specific oscillatory brain networks? To answer this question, we recorded high-density electroencephalography (EEG) in expert Tango dancers and ... -
Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ... -
Decoding the Meaning of Unconsciously Processed Words Using fMRI-based MVPA
(NeuroImage, 2019)Does the human brain elicit patterns of activity associated with the meaning of words in the absence of conscious awareness? Do such non-conscious semantic representations generalize across languages? This study aimed to ... -
Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ... -
Delta(but not theta)-band cortical entrainment involves speech-specific processing
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2018)Cortical oscillations phase-align to the quasi-rhythmic structure of the speech envelope. This speech-brain entrainment has been reported in two frequency bands, that is both in the theta band (4-8 Hz) and in the delta ... -
Depression and Anxiety in the Postnatal Period: An Examination of Infants' Home Language Environment, Vocalizations, and Expressive Language Abilities
(Child Development, 2020)This longitudinal study investigated the effects of maternal emotional health concerns, on infants' home language environment, vocalization quantity, and expressive language skills. Mothers and their infants (at 6 and 12 ... -
Development of EEG alpha and theta oscillations in the maintenance stage of working memory
(ELSEVIER, 2024)Several studies have shown developmental changes in EEG oscillations during working memory tasks. Although the load-modulated theta and alpha activities in adults are well-documented, the findings are inconsistent if ... -
Development of neural oscillatory activity in response to speech in children from 4 to 6 years old
(Developmental Science, 2020)Recent neurophysiological theories propose that the cerebral hemispheres collaborate to resolve the complex temporal nature of speech, such that left-hemisphere (or bilateral) gamma-band oscillatory activity would ... -
Development of the visual white matter pathways mediates development of electrophysiological responses in visual cortex
(Human Brain Mapping, 2021)The latency of neural responses in the visual cortex changes systematically across the lifespan. Here, we test the hypothesis that development of visual white matter pathways mediates maturational changes in the latency ... -
Developmental changes associated with cross-language similarity in bilingual children
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)The main goal of the present study was to investigate how the degree of orthographic overlap between translation equivalents influences bilingual word recognition processes at different stages of reading development. ... -
Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events
(MIT PRESS, 2023)Statistical power in cognitive neuroimaging experiments is often very low. Low sample size can reduce the likelihood of detecting real effects (false negatives) and increase the risk of detecting non-existing effects by ...
