Dorsal anterior cingulate-brainstem ensemble as a reinforcement meta-learner
(PLOS Computational Biology, 2018)Optimal decision-making is based on integrating information from several dimensions of decisional space (e.g., reward expectation, cost estimation, effort exertion). Despite considerable empirical and theoretical efforts, ... -
Dynamic EEG analysis during language comprehension reveals interactive cascades between perceptual processing and sentential expectations
(Brain and Language, 2020)Understanding spoken language requires analysis of the rapidly unfolding speech signal at multiple levels: acoustic, phonological, and semantic. However, there is not yet a comprehensive picture of how these levels relate. ... -
Early and late indications of item-specific control in a Stroop mouse tracking study
(PLoS ONE, 2018)Previous studies indicated that cognitive conflict continues to bias actions even after a movement has been initiated. The present paper examined whether cognitive control also biases actions after movement initiation. ... -
Early dissociation of numbers and letters in the human brain
(Cortex, 2020)Numbers and letters are culturally created symbols which are learned through repeated training. This experience leads to a functional specialization of the perceptual system of our brain. Recent evidence suggests a neural ... -
Early language dissociation in bilingual minds: magnetoencephalography evidence through a machine learning approach
(OXFORD, 2024)Does neural activity reveal how balanced bilinguals choose languages? Despite using diverse neuroimaging techniques, prior studies haven’t provided a definitive solution to this problem. Nonetheless, studies involving ... -
Early language experience modulates the tradeoff between acoustic-temporal and lexico-semantic cortical tracking of speech
(ELSEVIER, 2024)Cortical tracking of speech is relevant for the development of speech perception skills. However, no study to date has explored whether and how cortical tracking of speech is shaped by accumulated language experience, the ... -
Effect of deep brain stimulation on vocal motor control mechanisms in Parkinson's disease
(Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, 2019)motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its effect on vocal motor function has yielded conflicted and highly variable results. The present study investigated the effects of STN-DBS on the mechanisms of ... -
Effect of interstimulus interval on cortical proprioceptive responses to passive finger movements
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)Shortening of the interstimulus interval (ISI) generally leads to attenuation of cortical sensory responses. For proprioception, however, this ISI effect is still poorly known. Our aim was to characterize the ISI dependence ... -
Effect of prewhitening in resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy data
(Neurophotonics, 2018)Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers the potential to characterize resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) in populations that are not easily assessed otherwise, such as young infants. In addition to the advantages ... -
Effects of age on inhibitory control are affected by task-specific features
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)Older adults have been argued to have impoverished inhibitory control compared to younger adults. However, these effects of age may depend on processing speed and their manifestation may furthermore depend on the type of ... -
Effects of maternal depression on maternal responsiveness and infants’ expressive language abilities
(PLOS, 2023)High levels of maternal responsiveness are associated with healthy cognitive and emotional development in infants. However, depression and anxiety can negatively impact individual mothers’ responsiveness levels and ... -
Effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment on the Event-Related Brain Potential Components Elicited in Executive Control Tasks
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)We summarize here the findings of several studies in which we analyzed the eventrelated brain potentials (ERPs) elicited in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and in healthy controls during performance of ... -
Effects of PSA Removal from NCAM on the Critical Period Plasticity Triggered by the Antidepressant Fluoxetine in the Visual Cortex
(Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016)Neuronal plasticity peaks during critical periods of postnatal development and is reduced towards adulthood. Recent data suggests that windows of juvenile-like plasticity can be triggered in the adult brain by antidepressant ... -
Effects of subject-case marking on agreement processing: ERP evidence from Basque
(Cortex, 2018)Previous cross-linguistic research has found that comprehenders are immediately sensitive to various kinds of agreement violations across languages. We focused on Basque, a verb-final ergative language with both subjecteverb ... -
Electrophysiological alterations during action semantic processing in Parkinson’s disease
(SPRINGER, 2024)Assessments of action semantics consistently reveal markers of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, neurophysiological signatures of the domain remain under-examined in this population, especially under conditions that allow ... -
Electrophysiological evidence for differences between fusion and combination illusions in audiovisual speech perception
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)Incongruent audiovisual speech stimuli can lead to perceptual illusions such as fusions or combinations. Here, we investigated the underlying audiovisual integration process by measuring ERPs. We observed that visual ... -
Electrophysiological signature of the interplay between habits and inhibition in response to smoking-related cues in individuals with a smoking habit: An event-related potential study
(WILEY, 2023)The rigid, stimulus-bound nature of drug seeking that characterizes substance use disorder (SUD) has been related to a dysregulation of motivational and early attentional reflexive and inhibitory reflective systems. However, ... -
Electrophysiology of statistical learning: Exploring the online learning process and offline learning product
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)A continuous stream of syllables is segmented into discrete constituents based on the transitional probabilities (TPs) between adjacent syllables by means of statistical learning. However, we still do not know whether ... -
Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children
(Language Learning, 2016)The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general ... -
Emotional Diglossia in Multilingual Classroom Environments: A Proposal
(Psychology and Cognitive Sciences Open Journal, 2017)Are we aware of the multiple cognitive consequences of being immersed in multilingual learning contexts? In this opinion article, some recent findings from the field of cognitive neuroscience and education has been ...
