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)
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.

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 ...
Sound changes that lead to seeing longer-lasting shapes
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2018)
To survive, people must construct an accurate representation of the world around them. There is a body of research on visual
scene analysis, and a largely separate literature on auditory scene analysis. The current study ...
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)
Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ...
Autistic traits predict poor integration between top-down contextual expectations and movement kinematics during action observation
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Autism is associated with difficulties in predicting and understanding other people’s actions. There is evidence that autistic traits are distributed across a spectrum and that subclinical forms of autistic impairments can ...
Commentary: Coding of serial order in verbal, visual and spatial working memory
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
