One Way or Another: Cortical Language Areas Flexibly Adapt Processing Strategies to Perceptual And Contextual Properties of Speech
(Cerebral Cortex, 2021)
Cortical circuits rely on the temporal regularities of speech to optimize signal parsing for sound-to-meaning mapping. Bottom-up speech analysis is accelerated by top–down predictions about upcoming words. In everyday ...
Synchronising internal and external information: a commentary on Meyer, Sun & Martin (2020)
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)
Discourse Expectations Are Sensitive to the Question Under Discussion: Evidence From ERPs
(Discourse Processes, 2020)
Questions under Discussion (QUDs) have been suggested to influence the integration of individual utterances into a discourse-level representation. Previous work has shown that processing ungrammatical ellipses is facilitated ...
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 ...
Agreement and illusion of disagreement: An ERP study on Basque
(Cortex, 2019)
Agreement is a syntactic relation involving a controller (e.g., a noun) and a target with matching inflectional morphology (e.g., a verb). Across languages, electrophysiological studies consistently report that the presence ...
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 ...
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
(NeuroImage, 2018)
The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement
dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction ...
When the end matters: influence of gender cues during agreement computation in bilinguals
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)
The present event-related potential (ERP) study was aimed at testing whether form-function
mappings can differently affect sentence comprehension in early bilinguals with a range of
linguistic profiles. Basque–Spanish ...
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 ...
Early dissociation of numbers and letters in the human brain
(Cortex, 2020)
Numbers and letters are culturally created symbols which are learned through repeated
training. This experience leads to a functional specialization of the perceptual system of
our brain. Recent evidence suggests a neural ...
