Open access dataset of task-free hemodynamic activity in 4-monthold infants during sleep using fNIRS
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2022)Spontaneous, task-free, hemodynamic activity of the brain provides useful information about its functional organization, as it can describe how different brain regions communicate to each other. Neuroimaging studies measuring ... -
Orthography affects L1 and L2 speech perception but not production in early bilinguals
(Cambridge, 2022)Orthography plays a crucial role in L2 learning, which generally relies on both oral and written input. We examine whether incongruencies between L1 and L2 grapheme-phoneme correspondences influence bilingual speech ... -
Oscillatory and Structural Signatures of Language Plasticity in Brain Tumor Patients: a Longitudinal Study
(Wiley, 2021-04-15)Recent evidence suggests that damage to the language network triggers its functional reorganization. Yet, the spectro-temporal fingerprints of this plastic rearrangement and its relation to anatomical changes is less well ... -
Oscillatory dynamics underlying noun and verb production in highly proficient bilinguals
(Nature Research, 2022-01)[EN] Words representing objects (nouns) and words representing actions (verbs) are essential components of speech across languages. While there is evidence regarding the organizational principles governing neural representation ... -
Out-of-body memory encoding causes thirdperson perspective at recall
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Sigmund Freud famously noted some memories are recalled with a perspective of “an observer from outside the scene”. According to Freud—and most memory researchers today—the third-person perspective occurs due to ... -
Out-of-Synchrony Speech Entrainment in Developmental Dyslexia
(Human Brain Mapping, 2016)Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder often characterized by reduced awareness of speech units. Whether the neural source of this phonological disorder in dyslexic readers results from the malfunctioning of the ... -
Parafoveal Processing in Bilingual Readers: Semantic Access Within but Not Across Languages
(APA, 2023)Prior research has investigated the quality of information a reader can extract from upcoming parafoveal words. However, very few studies have considered parafoveal processing in bilingual readers, who may differ from ... -
Perceptual facilitation of word recognition through motor activation during sentence comprehension
(cortex, 2018)Despite the growing literature on anticipatory language processing, the brain dynamics of this high-level predictive process are still unclear. In the present MEG study, we analyzed pre- and post-stimulus oscillatory ... -
Performance feedback enhances test-potentiated encoding
(Frontiers, 2023)Introduction: Long-term memory retention is enhanced after testing compared to restudying (testing effect). Notably, memory retrieval further improves when correct-answer feedback is provided after the retrieval attempt ... -
Perro or txakur? Bilingual language choice during production is influenced by personal preferences and external primes
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Bilinguals living in a bilingual society continuously need to choose one of their languages to communicate a message. Sometimes, the circumstances (e.g., the presence of a monolingual) dictate language choice. When surrounded ... -
Phase−amplitude coupling between theta and gamma oscillations adapts to speech rate
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Low- and high-frequency cortical oscillations play an important role in speech processing. Low-frequency neural oscillations in the delta (<4Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) bands entrain to the prosodic and syllabic rates of speech, ... -
Phonatory and articulatory representations of speech production in cortical and subcortical fMRI responses
(Scientific Reports, 2020)Speaking involves coordination of multiple neuromotor systems, including respiration, phonation and articulation. Developing non-invasive imaging methods to study how the brain controls these systems is critical for ... -
Phonemic contrasts under construction? Evidence from Basque
(Infancy, 2020)Attunement theories of speech perception development suggest that native-language exposure is one of the main factors shaping infants' phonemic discrimination capacity within the second half of their first year. Here, ... -
Phonetic accommodation in non‑native directed speech supports L2 word learning and pronunciation
(NATURE, 2023)This study assessed whether Non-native Directed Speech (NNDS) facilitates second language (L2) learning, specifically L2 word learning and production. Spanish participants (N = 50) learned novel English words, presented ... -
Phonetic and Lexical Crosslinguistic Influence in Early Spanish–Basque–English Trilinguals
(WILEY, 2024)A central question in multilingualism research is how multiple languages interact. Most studies have focused on first (L1) and second language (L2) effects on a third language (L3), but a small number of studies dedicated ... -
Phonological and orthographic coding in deaf skilled readers
(Cognition, 2017)Written language is very important in daily life. However, most deaf people do not achieve good reading levels compared to their hearing peers. Previous research has mainly focused on their difficulties when reading in a ... -
Phonological deficits in dyslexia impede lexical processing of spoken words: Linking behavioural and MEG data
(ELSEVIER, 2024)Phonological difficulties have been identified as a core deficit in developmental dyslexia, yet everyday speech comprehension, which relies on phonological processing, is seemingly unaffected. This raises the question as ... -
Physiology of Language
(Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Psychological Science, 2016)Comprehending and producing linguistic utterances relies on complex phonological, syntactic, and semantic representations that we incrementally and unconsciously build as the message unfolds in time. Behind these cognitive ... -
Population Receptive Field Shapes in Early Visual Cortex Are Nearly Circular
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)The visual field region where a stimulus evokes a neural response is called the receptive field (RF). Analytical tools combined with functional MRI (fMRI) can estimate the RF of the population of neurons within a voxel. ... -
Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ...
