Agreement and illusion of disagreement: An ERP study on Basque
(Cortex, 2019)
Agreement is a syntactic relation involving a controller (e.g., a noun) and a target with matching inflectional morphology (e.g., a verb). Across languages, electrophysiological studies consistently report that the presence ...
Neocortical activity tracks the hierarchical linguistic structures of self-produced speech during reading aloud
(NeuroImage, 2020)
How the human brain uses self-generated auditory information during speech production is rather unsettled.
Current theories of language production consider a feedback monitoring system that monitors the auditory
consequences ...
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
(NeuroImage, 2018)
The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement
dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction ...
When the end matters: influence of gender cues during agreement computation in bilinguals
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)
The present event-related potential (ERP) study was aimed at testing whether form-function
mappings can differently affect sentence comprehension in early bilinguals with a range of
linguistic profiles. Basque–Spanish ...
Language Proficiency Entails Tuning Cortical Activity to Second Language Speech
(Cerebral Cortex, 2021)
Cortical tracking of linguistic structures in speech, such as phrases (<3 Hz, delta band) and syllables (3–8 Hz, theta band), is
known to be crucial for speech comprehension. However, it has not been established whether ...
Early dissociation of numbers and letters in the human brain
(Cortex, 2020)
Numbers and letters are culturally created symbols which are learned through repeated
training. This experience leads to a functional specialization of the perceptual system of
our brain. Recent evidence suggests a neural ...
Impaired neural response to speech edges in dyslexia
(ScienceDirect, 2021)
Speech comprehension has been proposed to critically rely on oscillatory cortical tracking, that is, phase alignment of neural oscillations to the slow temporal modulations (envelope) of speech. Speech-brain entrainment ...
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
(Cortex, 2017)
Sentence comprehension is successfully accomplished by means of a form-to-meaning mapping procedure that relies on the extraction of morphosyntactic information from the input and its mapping to higher-level semantic–discourse ...
Amodal Atypical Neural Oscillatory Activity in Dyslexia: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective
(Clinical Psychological Science, 2017)
It has been proposed that atypical neural oscillations in both the auditory and the visual modalities could explain why
some individuals fail to learn to read and suffer from developmental dyslexia. However, the role of ...
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 ...
