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 ...
Lateralization in the dichotic listening of tones is influenced by the content of speech
(Neuropsychologia, 2020)
Cognitive functions, for example speech processing, are distributed asymmetrically in the two hemispheres that mostly have homologous anatomical structures.
Dichotic listening is a well-established paradigm to investigate ...
Interpreting Foreign Smiles: Language Context and Type of Scale in the Assessment of Perceived Happiness and Sadness
(Psicológica, 2020)
The current study focuses on how different scales with varying demands can affect our subjective assessments. We carried out 2 experiments in which we asked participants to rate how happy or sad morphed images of faces ...
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 ...
Neural bases of learning and recognition of statistical regularities
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2020)
Statistical learning is a set of cognitive mechanisms allowing for extracting regularities from the environment and
segmenting continuous sensory input into discrete units. The current study used functional magnetic ...
Zooming in on zooming out: Partial selectivity and dynamic tuning of bilingual language control during reading
(Cognition, 2020)
Prominent models of bilingual visual word recognition posit a bottom-up nonselective view of lexical processing
with parallel access to lexical candidates of both languages. However, these accounts do not accommodate
recent ...
Reward sensitivity predicts dopaminergic response in spatial neglect
(Cortex, 2020)
It has recently been revealed that spatial neglect can be modulated by motivational factors
including anticipated monetary reward. A number of dopaminergic agents have been
evaluated as treatments for neglect, but the ...
Abnormal pattern of brain glucose metabolism in Parkinson’s disease: replication in three European cohorts
(European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2020)
Rationale
In Parkinson’s disease (PD), spatial covariance analysis of 18F-FDG PET data has consistently revealed a characteristic PD-related brain pattern (PDRP). By quantifying PDRP expression on a scan-by-scan basis, ...
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 ...
The Influence of Emotional and Foreign Language Context in Content Learning
(Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020)
Prior research has found reduced emotionality with foreign language use, especially with single
words, but what happens if emotionality is conveyed throughout a longer text? Does emotionality
affect how well we remember ...
