SPALEX: A Spanish Lexical Decision Database From a Massive Online Data Collection
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)... -
Sparse coupled logistic regression to estimate co-activation and modulatory influences of brain regions
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2020)Accurate mapping of the functional interactions between remote brain areas with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging requires the quantification of their underlying dynamics. In conventional methodological ... -
Spatial frequency tuning of motor responses reveals differential contribution of dorsal and ventral systems to action comprehension
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020)Understanding object-directed actions performed by others is central to everyday life. This ability is thought to rely on the interaction between the dorsal action observation network (AON) and a ventral object recognition ... -
Spatialization in working memory is related to literacy and reading direction: Culture “literarily” directs our thoughts
(Cognition, 2018)The ability to maintain arbitrary sequences of items in the mind contributes to major cognitive faculties, such as language, reasoning, and episodic memory. Previous research suggests that serial order working memory is ... -
Spatiotemporal dynamics of postoperative functional plasticity in patients with brain tumors in language areas
(Brain and Language, 2020)Postoperative functional neuroimaging provides a unique opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms that facilitate language network reorganization. Previous studies in patients with low grade gliomas (LGGs) in ... -
Speaker Accent Modulates the Effects of Orthographic and Phonological Similarity on Auditory Processing by Learners of English
(Frontiers, 2022)The cognate effect refers to translation equivalents with similar form between languages—i.e., cognates, such as “band” (English) and “banda” (Spanish)—being processed faster than words with dissimilar forms—such as, ... -
Speaker matters: Natural inter-speaker variation affects 4-month-olds’ perception of audio-visual speech
(First Language, 2020)In the language development literature, studies often make inferences about infants’ speech perception abilities based on their responses to a single speaker. However, there can be significant natural variability across ... -
Speech rhythm as naturally occurring and culturally transmitted behavioral patterns
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Rhythm is fundamental to every motor activity. Neural and physiological mechanisms that underlie rhythmic cognition, in general, and rhythmic pattern generation, in particular, are evolutionarily ancient. As speech production ... -
Speech Rhythm Convergence as a Social Coalition Signal
(Evolutionary Psychology, 2019)Patterns of nonverbal and verbal behavior of interlocutors become more similar as communication progresses. Rhythm entrainment promotes prosocial behavior and signals social bonding and cooperation. Yet, it is unknown if ... -
Speech rhythm convergence in a dyadic reading task
(Speech Communication, 2021)We tested the effect of co-presence on entrainment to speech rhythm, examining differences in speech rhythm convergence during a reading task, in conditions where the reading partner was present or absent. Speech rhythm ... -
Speech-brain phase coupling is enhanced in low contextual semantic predictability conditions
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)Semantic prediction and cortical entrainment to the acoustic landmarks of the speech envelope are two fundamental yet qualitatively different mechanisms that facilitate speech comprehension. However, it is not clear ... -
Speech-specific audiovisual integration modulates induced theta-band oscillations
(PLoS ONE, 2019)... -
Speech‑derived haptic stimulation enhances speech recognition in a multi‑talker background
(NATURE, 2023)Speech understanding, while effortless in quiet conditions, is challenging in noisy environments. Previous studies have revealed that a feasible approach to supplement speech-in-noise (SiN) perception consists in presenting ... -
Splitting the variance of statistical learning performance: A parametric investigation of exposure duration and transitional probabilities
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016)What determines individuals’ efficacy in detecting regularities in visual statistical learning? Our theoretical starting point assumes that the variance in performance of statistical learning (SL) can be split into the ... -
Statistical Learning and Language Impairments: Toward More Precise Theoretical Accounts
(Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2021)Statistical-learning (SL) theory offers an experience-based account of typical and atypical spoken and written language acquisition. Recent work has provided initial support for this view, tying individual differences in ... -
Statistical learning research: A critical review and possible new directions.
(Psychological Bulletin, 2019)Statistical learning (SL) is involved in a wide range of basic and higher-order cognitive functions and is taken to be an important building block of virtually all current theories of information processing. In the last ... -
Statistical Speech Segmentation in Tone Languages: The Role of Lexical Tones
(Language and Speech, 2018)Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation of speech based on transitional ... -
Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension
(Brain & Language, 2016)Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ... -
Stimulation sites in the subthalamic nucleus and clinical improvement in Parkinson's disease: a new approach for active contact localization
(Journal of Neurosurgery, 2016)OBJECTIVE Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is widely used in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, which target area of this region results in the highest antiparkinsonian efficacy ... -
Structural and Functional Network-Level Reorganization in the Coding of Auditory Motion Directions and Sound Source Locations in the Absence of Vision
(Jneurosci, 2022)hMT+/V5 is a region in the middle occipitotemporal cortex that responds preferentially to visual motion in sighted people. In cases of early visual deprivation, hMT+/V5 enhances its response to moving sounds. Whether hMT+/V5 ...
