Connectivity of Frontoparietal Regions Reveals Executive Attention and Consciousness Interactions
(Cerebral Cortex, 2019)The executive control network is involved in the voluntary control of novel and complex situations. Solving conflict situations or detecting errors have demonstrated to impair conscious perception of near-threshold stimuli. ... -
Consonantal overlap effects in a perceptual matching task
(Experimental Brain Research, 2016)This study investigates the processing of letter position coding by exploring whether or not two explicitly presented words that share the same consonants, but that differ in their vowels, exert mutual interference more ... -
Contextual diversity facilitates learning new words in the classroom
(PLoS ONE, 2017)In the field of word recognition and reading, it is commonly assumed that frequently repeated words create more accessible memory traces than infrequently repeated words, thus capturing the word-frequency effect. ... -
Contextual priors do not modulate action prediction in children with autism
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019)Bayesian accounts of autism suggest that this disorder may be rooted in an impaired ability to estimate the probability of future events, possibly owing to reduced priors. Here, we tested this hypothesis within the action ... -
Contextualizing action observation in the predictive brain: Causal contributions of prefrontal and middle temporal areas
(NeuroImage, 2018)Context facilitates the recognition of forthcoming actions by pointing to which intention is likely to drive them. This intention is thought to be estimated in a ventral pathway linking MTG with frontal regions and to ... -
Contrasting functional imaging parametric maps: The mislocation problem and alternative solutions
(NeuroImage, 2018)In the field of neuroimaging, researchers often resort to contrasting parametric maps to identify differences between conditions or populations. Unfortunately, contrast patterns mix effects related to amplitude and ... -
Converging Evidence for Differential Specialization and Plasticity of Language Systems
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)Functional specialization and plasticity are fundamental organizing principles of the brain. Since the mid-1800s, certain cognitive functions have been known to be lateralized, but the provenance and flexibility of ... -
Converging evidence for functional and structural segregation within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex in reading
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), 2018)The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) is crucial for recognizing visual patterns, and previous evidence suggests that there may be different subregions within the vOTC involved in the rapid identification of word ... -
Correction of Fat-Water Swaps in Dixon MRI
(Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention − MICCAI 2016. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2016)The Dixon method is a popular and widely used technique for fat-water separation in magnetic resonance imaging, and today, nearly all scanner manufacturers are offering a Dixon-type pulse sequence that produces scans with ... -
Cortical tracking of speech in noise accounts for reading strategies in children
(PLOS BIOLOGY, 2020)Humans’ propensity to acquire literacy relates to several factors, including the ability to understand speech in noise (SiN). Still, the nature of the relation between reading and SiN perception abilities remains poorly ... -
Cortical Tracking of Speech-in-Noise Develops from Childhood to Adulthood
(The Journal of Neuroscience,, 2019)In multitalker backgrounds, the auditory cortex of adult humans tracks the attended speech stream rather than the global auditory scene. Still, it is unknown whether such preferential tracking also occurs in children whose ... -
Corticokinematic coherence as a new marker for somatosensory afference in newborns
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2017)Objective Somatosensory evoked potentials have high prognostic value in neonatal intensive care, but their recording from infants is challenging. Here, we studied the possibility to elicit cortical responses in newborns ... -
Coupling between human brain activity and body movements: Insights from non-invasive electromagnetic recordings
(NeuroImage, 2019)Electroencephalographic and magnetoencephalographic data have characterized two types of brain–body interactions observed during various types of motor actions, “corticokinematic” and “corticomuscular” coupling. Here, we ... -
Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals. Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners (Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ... -
Cross-Language Modulation of Visual Attention Span: An Arabic-French-Spanish Comparison in Skilled Adult Readers
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)In delineating the amount of orthographic information that can be processed in parallel during a single fixation, the visual attention (VA) span acts as a key component of the reading system. Previous studies focused on ... -
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, ... -
Cross-Linguistic Differences in Bilinguals’ Fundamental Frequency Ranges
(Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2017)Purpose We investigated cross-linguistic differences in fundamental frequency range (FFR) in Welsh-English bilingual speech. This is the first study that reports gender-specific behavior in switching FFRs across languages ... -
Cross-linguistic differences in the use of durational cues for the segmentation of a novel language
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)It is widely accepted that duration can be exploited as phonological phrase final lengthening in the segmentation of a novel language, i.e., in extracting discrete constituents from continuous speech. The use of final ... -
Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
(Developmental Science, 2016)This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ... -
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilinguals reading in two alphabetic orthographies: The grain size accommodation hypothesis
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)Reading acquisition is one of the most complex and demanding learning processes faced by children in their first years of schooling. If reading acquisition is challenging in one language, how is it when reading is acquired ...
