Theta oscillations mediate preactivation of highly expected word initial phonemes
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental neurocognitive mechanism. However, its role in language comprehension is currently under debate. In this magnetoencephalography study we aimed to find evidence of word-form ...
Lip-Reading Enables the Brain to Synthesize Auditory Features of Unknown Silent Speech
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)
Lip-reading is crucial for understanding speech in challenging conditions. But how the brain extracts meaning from, silent, visual speech
is still under debate. Lip-reading in silence activates the auditory cortices, but ...
Contrasting functional imaging parametric maps: The mislocation problem and alternative solutions
(NeuroImage, 2018)
In the field of neuroimaging, researchers often resort to contrasting parametric maps to identify differences between
conditions or populations. Unfortunately, contrast patterns mix effects related to amplitude and ...
Right-hemisphere coherence to speech at prereading stages predicts reading performance one year later
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Neural entrainment to the low-frequency modulations of speech might contribute
significantly to reading acquisition. Still, no previous study has actually attempted to
establish a longitudinal link between them. The ...
Temporal uncertainty enhances suppression of neural responses to predictable visual stimuli
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Contextual information triggers predictions about the content ( “what ”) of environmental stimuli to update an in- ternal generative model of the surrounding world. However, visual information dynamically changes across ...
Development of neural oscillatory activity in response to speech in children from 4 to 6 years old
(Developmental Science, 2020)
Recent neurophysiological theories propose that the cerebral hemispheres collaborate
to resolve the complex temporal nature of speech, such that left-hemisphere (or
bilateral) gamma-band oscillatory activity would ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
