Interventional programmes to improve cognition during healthy and pathological ageing: Cortical modulations and evidence for brain plasticity
(Ageing Research Reviews, 2018)
A growing body of evidence suggests that healthy elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease retain an important potential for neuroplasticity. This review summarizes studies investigating the modulation of ...
Merging Generative Linguistics and Psycholinguistics
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
Comparing the potential of MEG and EEG to uncover brain tracking of speech temporal envelope
(NeuroImage, 2019)
During connected speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at delta (∼0.5 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) frequencies. Here, we compared the potential of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography ...
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 ...
Widening agreement processing: a matter of time, features and distance
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2018)
Existing psycholinguistic models typically describe agreement relations as monolithic phenomena amounting to mechanisms that check mere feature consistency. This eye-tracking study aimed at widening this perspective by ...
Presurgical electromagnetic functional brain mapping in refractory focal epilepsy
(Zeitschrift für Epileptologie, 2018)
Background. Electroencephalography
(EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG)
are neurophysiological methods used
to investigate noninvasively the spatial,
temporal, and spectral dynamics of human
brain functions.
Objectives. ...
The impact of foreign accent on irony interpretation
(PLoS ONE, 2018)
In modern multi-cultural societies, conversations between foreign speakers and native listeners have become very common. These exchanges often include the use of figurative language. The present study examines, for the ...
Bilingual Preschoolers ’ Speech is Associated with Non-Native Maternal Language Input
(Language Learning and Development, 2019)
Bilingual children are often exposed to non-native speech through their parents. Yet, little is known about the relation between bilingual preschoolers’ speech production and their speech input. The present study investigated ...
Is the LAN effect in morphosyntactic processing an ERP artifact?
(Brain and Language, 2019)
The left anterior negativity (LAN) is an ERP component that has been often associated with morphosyntactic processing, but recent reports have questioned whether the LAN effect, in fact, exists. The present project examined ...
The role of preview validity in predictability and frequency effects on eye movements in reading
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019)
A word’s predictability, as measured by its cloze probability, has a robust influence on the time a reader’s eyes spend on the word, with more predictable words receiving shorter fixations. However, several previous studies ...
