Feature-Based Attention Samples Stimuli Rhythmically
(Current Biology, 2019)
Attention supports the allocation of resources to
relevant locations and objects in a scene. Under
most conditions, several stimuli compete for neural
representation. Attention biases neural representation
toward the ...
Cortical Tracking of Speech-in-Noise Develops from Childhood to Adulthood
(The Journal of Neuroscience,, 2019)
In multitalker backgrounds, the auditory cortex of adult humans tracks the attended speech stream rather than the global auditory scene.
Still, it is unknown whether such preferential tracking also occurs in children whose ...
A comparison of homonym meaning frequency estimates derived from movie and television subtitles, free association, and explicit ratings
(Behavior Research Methods, 2019)
Most words are ambiguous, with interpretation dependent on context. Advancing theories of ambiguity resolution is important for any general theory of language processing, and for resolving inconsistencies in observed ...
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)
The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ...
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, ...
When is irony influenced by communicative constraints? ERP evidence supporting interactive models
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2019)
Distinct theoretical proposals have described how communicative constraints (contextual
biases, speaker identity) impact verbal irony processing. Modular models assume
that social and contextual factors have an effect ...
Low or High-Level Motor Coding? The Role of Stimulus Complexity
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have shown that observing an action induces activity in the onlooker's motor system. In light of the muscle specificity and time-locked mirroring nature of the effect, this ...
Neurobiological signatures of L2 proficiency: Evidence from a bi-directional cross-linguistic study
(Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2019)
Recent evidence has shown that convergence of print and speech processing across a network of
primarily left-hemisphere regions of the brain is a predictor of future reading skills in children,
and a marker of fluent ...
A Novel Framework for Unconscious Processing
(Trends in Cognitive Sciences,, 2019)
Understanding the distinction between conscious and unconscious cognition remains a priority
in psychology and neuroscience. A comprehensive neurocognitive account of conscious
awareness will not be possible without a ...
Investigating vulnerabilities in grammatical processing of bilinguals
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)
Bilinguals show a large gap in their expressive-receptive abilities, in both
languages. To date, most studies have examined lexical processing. The current
study aimed to assess comprehension and production of verb ...
