Measuring the cortical tracking of speech with optically-pumped magnetometers
(NeuroImage, 2021)
During continuous speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at frequencies matching with the repetition rate of phrases (0.2–1.5 Hz), words (2–4 Hz) and syllables (4–8 Hz). Here, we evaluated the applica- ...
rt-me-fMRI: a task and resting state dataset for real-time, multi-echo fMRI methods development and validation
(F1000Research, 2021)
A multi-echo fMRI dataset (N=28 healthy participants) with four task-based and two resting state runs was collected, curated and made available to the community. Its main purpose is to advance the development of methods ...
Brainhack: Developing a culture of open, inclusive, community-driven neuroscience
(Neuron, 2021)
Brainhack is an innovative meeting format that promotes scientific collaboration and education in an open,
inclusive environment. This NeuroView describes the myriad benefits for participants and the research community
and ...
Rapid online assessment of reading ability
(Scientific Reports, 2021)
An accurate model of the factors that contribute to individual differences in reading ability depends
on data collection in large, diverse and representative samples of research participants. However, that
is rarely ...
Lexical Information Guides Retuning of Neural Patterns in Perceptual Learning for Speech
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020)
A listener's interpretation of a given speech sound can vary probabilistically from moment to moment. Previous experience (i.e., the contexts in which one has encountered an ambiguous sound) can further influence the ...
Speaker matters: Natural inter-speaker variation affects 4-month-olds’ perception of audio-visual speech
(First Language, 2020)
In the language development literature, studies often make inferences about infants’ speech perception abilities based on their responses to a single speaker. However, there can be significant natural variability across ...
The effects of language and emotionality of stimuli on vocabulary learning
(PLOS ONE, 2020)
Learning new content and vocabulary in a foreign language can be particularly difficult. Yet,
there are educational programs that require people to study in a language they are not
native speakers of. For this reason, ...
The neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)
For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ...
Language and Math: What If We Have Two Separate Naming Systems?
(Languages, 2019)
The role of language in numerical processing has traditionally been restricted to counting and exact arithmetic. Nevertheless, the impact that each of a bilinguals’ languages may have in core numerical representations has ...
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present ...
