Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm: The Case of Italian and English
(Language and Speech, 2020)We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal ... -
Cardiac afferent activity modulates early neural signature of error detection during skilled performance
(NeuroImage, 2019)Behavioral adaptations during performance rely on predicting and evaluating the consequences of our actions through action monitoring. Previous studies revealed that proprioceptive and exteroceptive signals contribute to ... -
Changes in electrophysiological static and dynamic human brain functional architecture from childhood to late adulthood
(Scientific Reports, 2020)This magnetoencephalography study aimed at characterizing age-related changes in resting-state functional brain organization from mid-childhood to late adulthood. We investigated neuromagnetic brain activity at rest in 105 ... -
Changes in the Sensitivity to Language-Specific Orthographic Patterns With Age
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)How do bilingual readers of languages that have similar scripts identify a language switch? Recent behavioral and electroencephalographic results suggest that they rely on orthotactic cues to recognize the language of ... -
Characterizing multi-word speech production using event-related potentials
(Psychophysiology, 2021)Event-related potentials (ERPs) derived from electroencephalography (EEG) have proven useful for understanding linguistic processes during language perception and production. Words are commonly produced in sequences, yet ... -
Characterizing Spatiotemporal Population Receptive Fields in Human Visual Cortex with fMRI
(Jneurosci, 2024)The use of fMRI and computational modeling has advanced understanding of spatial characteristics of population receptive fields (pRFs) in human visual cortex. However, we know relatively little about the spatiotemporal ... -
Chronset: An automated tool for detecting speech onset
(Behavior Research Methods, 2017)The analysis of speech onset times has a longstanding tradition in experimental psychology as a measure of how a stimulus influences a spoken response. Yet the lack of accurate automatic methods to measure such ... -
Classification of Overt and Covert Speech for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Brain Computer Interface
(Sensors, 2018)People suffering from neuromuscular disorders such as locked-in syndrome (LIS) are left in a paralyzed state with preserved awareness and cognition. In this study, it was hypothesized that changes in local hemodynamic ... -
Clear Theories Are Needed to Interpret Differences: Perspectives on the Bilingual Advantage Debate
(Neurobiology of Language, 2021)The heated debate regarding bilingual cognitive advantages remains ongoing. While there are many studies supporting positive cognitive effects of bilingualism, recent meta-analyses have concluded that there is no consistent ... -
Closing eyes during auditory memory retrieval modulates alpha rhythm but does not alter tau rhythm
(NeuroImage, 2019)The alpha power increase that occurs when the eyes are closed is one of the most well-known effects in human electrophysiology. In particular, previous psychological studies have investigated whether eye closure can boost ... -
Co-activation of the L2 during L1 auditory processing: An ERP cross-modal priming study
(Brain and Language, 2020)Several studies have shown that unbalanced bilinguals activate both of their languages simultaneously during L2 processing; however, evidence for L2 activation while participants are tested exclusively in their L1 has been ... -
Cognitive and neural mechanisms of voluntary versus forced language switching in Chinese–English bilinguals: an fMRI study
(OXFORD, 2024)The ecological validity of bilingual code-switching has garnered increasing attention in recent years. Contrary to traditional studies that have focused on forced language switching, emerging theories posit that voluntary ... -
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ... -
Combining Gamma With Alpha and Beta Power Modulation for Enhanced Cortical Mapping in Patients With Focal Epilepsy
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020)About one third of patients with epilepsy have seizures refractory to the medical treatment. Electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) is the gold standard for the identification of “eloquent” areas prior to resection of ... -

Comparing end-tidal CO 2 , respiration volume per time (RVT), and average gray matter signal for mapping cerebrovascular reactivity amplitude and delay with breath-hold task BOLD fMRI
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), defined as the cerebral blood flow response to a vasoactive stimulus, is an imag- ing biomarker with demonstrated utility in a range of diseases and in typical development and aging ... -
Comparing MEG and high-density EEG for intrinsic functional connectivity mapping
(NeuroImage, 2020)Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been used in conjunction with resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) based on band-limited power envelope correlation to study the intrinsic human brain network organization into ... -
Comparing Semantic Fluency in American Sign Language and English
(Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2018)This study investigated the impact of language modality and age of acquisition on semantic fluency in American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Experiment 1 compared semantic fluency performance (e.g., name as many animals ... -
Comparing the potential of MEG and EEG to uncover brain tracking of speech temporal envelope
(NeuroImage, 2019)During connected speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at delta (∼0.5 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) frequencies. Here, we compared the potential of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography ...
