¿Existen diferencias entre los formantes de [ə] y [ɯ] en el mapudungun hablado por niños bilingües del Alto Bío-Bío?
(Onomázein, 2021)Los primeros estudios sobre la sexta vocal del mapudungun, de corte articulatorio, la han asociado con dos alófonos: uno central [ə] y otro posterior [ɯ]. Sin embargo, las aproximaciones acústicas no reportan un alófono ... -
Exploring Different Types of Inhibition During Bilingual Language Production
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)Multilinguals have to control their languages constantly to produce accurate verbal output. They have to inhibit possible lexical competitors not only from the target language, but also from non-target languages. Bilinguals’ ... -
Exploring effects of social information on talker-independent accent adaptation
(ASA, 2023)The present study examined whether race information about speakers can promote rapid and generalizable perceptual adaptation to second-language accent. First-language English listeners were presented with Cantonese-accented ... -
Exploring the temporal dynamics of speech production with EEG and group ICA
(Scientific Reports, 2020)Speech production is a complex skill whose neural implementation relies on a large number of different regions in the brain. How neural activity in these different regions varies as a function of time during the production ... -
Fast and sequence-adaptive whole-brain segmentation using parametric Bayesian modeling
(NeuroImage, 2016)Quantitative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain requires accurate automated segmentation of anatomical structures. A desirable feature for such segmentation methods is to be robust against ... -
Feasibility and reproducibility of electroencephalography-based corticokinematic coherence
(Journal of Neurophysiology, 2020)Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) is the phase coupling between limb kinematics and cortical neurophysiological signals, reflecting cortical processing of proprioceptive afference, and it is reproducible when estimated with ... -
Feature generalization in Dutch–German bilingual and monolingual children’s speech production
(SAGE, 2022)Dutch and German employ voicing contrasts, but Dutch lacks the ‘voiced’ dorsal plosive /ɡ/. We exploited this accidental phonological gap, measuring the presence of prevoicing and voice onset time durations during speech ... -
Feature-Based Attention Samples Stimuli Rhythmically
(Current Biology, 2019)Attention supports the allocation of resources to relevant locations and objects in a scene. Under most conditions, several stimuli compete for neural representation. Attention biases neural representation toward the ... -
Feature-Based Attentional Weighting and Re-weighting in the Absence of Visual Awareness
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Visual attention evolved as an adaptive mechanism allowing us to cope with a rapidly changing environment. It enables the facilitated processing of relevant information, often automatically and governed by implicit motives. ... -
Features matter: the role of number and gender features during the online processing of subject- and object- relative clauses in Italian
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-12-28)In this study, we investigated whether different morphosyntactic features, i.e. number and gender, play a role during the adult online comprehension of subject relative clauses (SRC) and object relative clauses (ORC), in ... -
Finding identity in the midst of ambiguity: case and number disambiguation in Basque
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)Restrictive contextual information has been found to bias syntactic disambiguation, when only one alternative leads to a meaningful interpretation. The current study tests whether disambiguation can be influenced by ... -
Flexibility and stability of speech sounds: The time course of lexically-driven recalibration
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Perceptual stability is obviously advantageous, but being able to adjust to the prevailing environment is also adaptive. Previous research has identified ways in which the categorization of speech sounds shifts as a ... -
Flexible and adaptive processes in speech perception
(The Speech Processing Lexicon, 2017)The perception of speech can be flexible, influenced by multiple sources of information, and plastic, tuned over time to cumulative experience. This chapter provides examples of cognitive neuroscience research, presented ... -
Flexible predictions during listening comprehension: Speaker reliability affects anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)During listening comprehension, the identification of individual words can be strongly influenced by properties of the preceding context. While sentence context can facilitate both behavioral and neural responses, it is ... -
Fluidity in the perception of auditory speech: Cross-modal recalibration of voice gender and vowel identity by a talking face
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2020)Humans quickly adapt to variations in the speech signal. Adaptation may surface as recalibration, a learning effect driven by error-minimisation between a visual face and an ambiguous auditory speech signal, or as selective ... -
Foreign-accented speech modulates linguistic anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)Listeners are able to anticipate upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and, as a result, they also pre-activate semantically related words. In the present study, we aim at exploring whether these anticipatory ... -
Frequency-based foveal load modulates semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects
(Elsevier, 2022)During reading, we can process words allocated to the parafoveal visual region. Our ability to extract parafoveal information is determined by the availability of attentional resources, and by how these are distributed ... -
Frequency-Dependent Intrinsic Electrophysiological Functional Architecture of the Human Verbal Language Network
(Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allowed the spatial characterization of the resting-state verbal language network (vLN). While other resting-state networks (RSNs) were matched with their electrophysiological ... -
Frontopolar activity carries feature information of novel stimuli during unconscious reweighting of selective attention
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Adapting to novelty is essential for an organism's survival in an uncertain world. Neuroimaging evidence consistently links the anterior prefrontal, specifically the frontopolar cortex (FPC; BA10), to exploratory reweighting ... -
Functional characterization of correct and incorrect feature integration
(OXFORD, 2023)Our sensory system constantly receives information from the environment and our own body. Despite our impression to the contrary, we remain largely unaware of this information and often cannot report it correctly. Although ...
