Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ... -
Functional Inhibitory Control Dynamics in Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease
(Movement Disorders, 2020)ABSTRACT: Background: Impulse control disorders related to alterations in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine network occur in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our objective was to investigate the functional neural substrates ... -
Functional plasticity associated with language learning in adults
(NeuroImage, 2019)Learning a new language in adulthood is increasingly common and among the most difficult tasks attempted by adults. Adult language learners thus offer an excellent window into the nature of learning-dependent plasticity. ... -
Genetic association study of dyslexia and ADHD candidate genes in a Spanish cohort: Implications of comorbid samples
(PLOS ONE, 2018)Dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two complex neuro-behaviorally disorders that co-occur more often than expected, so that reading disability has been linked to inattention symptoms. We ... -
Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people
(PNAS, 2022)The use of spoken and written language is a fundamental human capacity. Individual differences in reading- and language-related skills are influenced by genetic variation, with twin-based heritability estimates of 30 to ... -
Group-level cortical functional connectivity patterns using fNIRS: assessing the effect of bilingualism in young infants
(Neurophotonics, 2021)Significance: Early monolingual versus bilingual experience induces adaptations in the development of linguistic and cognitive processes, and it modulates functional activation patterns during the first months of life. ... -
“Hazy” or “jumbled”? Putting together the pieces of the bilingual puzzle
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Six commentaries [Bialystok, E. (2015). How hazy views become full pictures. Language, Cognition and Neuroscience. doi:10.1080/23273798.2015.1074255; de Bruin, A., & Della Sala, S. (2015) The importance of language use ... -
Highlighting the lack of neuropsychologists and speech therapists in healthcare services towards an accurate (pre‐ and postoperative) cognitive assessment in low‐grade glioma patients
(WILEY, 2022)Key points Due to the slow growth of Low‐grade gliomas (LGGs), cognitive impairments can be quite difficult to detect at early stages There is a lack of staff specialized on the cognitive and emotional assessment of ... -
How do Spanish speakers read words? Insights from a crowdsourced lexical decision megastudy
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)Vocabulary size seems to be affected by multiple factors, including those that belong to the properties of the words themselves and those that relate to the characteristics of the individuals assessing the words. In this ... -
Humans in Love Are Singing Birds: Socially-Mediated Brain Activity in Language Production
(MIT PRESS, 2023)This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated whether and how the human speech production circuit is mediated by social factors. Participants recited a poem in the MRI scanner while viewing pictures ... -
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 ... -
Input quality and speech perception development in bilingual infants' first year of life
(WILEY, 2022)Individual differences in infants’ native phonological development have been linked to the quantity and quality of infant-directed speech (IDS). The effects of parental and infant bilingualism on this relation in 131 ... -
Is there electrophysiological evidence for a bilingual advantage in neural processes related to executive functions?
(Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020)Over the last two decades, a large number of studies have concluded that bilingualism enhances executive functions. However, other studies have reported no significant results. In addition, it is not clear how bilingualism might ... -
Language dominance shapes non-linguistic rhythmic grouping in bilinguals
(Cognition, 2016)To what degree non-linguistic auditory rhythm perception is governed by universal biases (e.g., Iambic- Trochaic Law; Hayes, 1995) or shaped by native language experience is debated. It has been proposed that rhythmic ... -
Language modality and temporal structure impact processing: Sign and speech have different windows of integration
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)Language comprehension depends on the ability to temporally process the periodic structure of the language signal. In this study we investigate temporal processing of Spanish Sign Language (LSE), isolating the ... -
Language modality shapes the dynamics of word and sign recognition
(Cognition, 2019)Spoken words and signs both consist of structured sub-lexical units. While phonemes unfold in time in the case of the spoken signal, visual sub-lexical units such as location and handshape are produced simultaneously in ... -
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 ... -
Language Switching Across Modalities: Evidence From Bimodal Bilinguals.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, & Cognition, 2017)This study investigated whether language control during language production in bilinguals generalizes across modalities, and to what extent the language control system is shaped by competition for the same articulators. ... -
Learning to Read Bilingually Modulates the Manifestations of Dyslexia in Adults
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)According to the Grain Size Accommodation hypothesis (Lallier & Carreiras, 2017), learning to read in two languages differing in orthographic consistency leads to a cross-linguistic modulation of reading and spelling ... -
Lexiland: A Tablet-based Universal Screener for Reading Difficulties in the School Context
(SAGE, 2022)Massive and timely screening of the student population for early signs of reading difficulties is needed to implement timely effective remediation of these difficulties. However, traditional approaches are costly and hard ...
