Matrices of the frequency and similarity of Arabic letters and allographs
Boudelaa, Sami; Perea, Manuel; Carreiras, Manuel (Behavior Research Methods, 2020)Indicators of letter frequency and similarity have long been available for Indo-European languages.

Mind the Orthography: Revisiting the Contribution of Prereading Phonological Awareness to Reading Acquisition
Zugarramurdi, Camila; Fernández, Lucía; Lallier, Marie; Valle-Lisboa, Juan Carlos; Carreiras, Manuel (APA, 2022)Reading acquisition is based on a set of preliteracy skills that lay the foundation for future reading abilities. Phonological awareness—the ability to identify and manipulate the sound units of oral language— has been ... -
Morphological decomposition in Chinese compound word recognition: Electrophysiological evidence
Wei, Yanjun; Niu, Ying; Taft, Marcus; Carreiras, Manuel (ELSEVIER, 2023)The present study examined the effect of both morphological complexity and semantic transparency in Chinese compound word recognition. Using a visual lexical decision task, our electrophysiological results showed that ... -
MULTIMAP: Multilingual picture naming test for mapping eloquent areas during awake surgeries
Gisbert Muñoz, Sandra; Quiñones, Ileana; Amoruso, Lucia; Timofeeva, Polina; Geng, Shuang; Boudelaa, Sami; Pomposo, Iñigo; Gil Robles, Santiago; Carreiras, Manuel (Behavior Research Methods, 2021)Picture naming tasks are currently the gold standard for identifying and preserving language-related areas during awake brain surgery. With multilingual populations increasing worldwide, patients frequently need to be ... -
Neocortical activity tracks the hierarchical linguistic structures of self-produced speech during reading aloud
Bourguignon, Mathieu; Molinaro, Nicola; Lizarazu, Mikel; Taulu, Samu; Jousmäki, Veikko; Lallier, Marie; Carreiras, Manuel; De Tiège, Xavier (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 ... -
Neural correlates of phonological, orthographic and semantic reading processing in dyslexia
Paz-Alonso, P.M.; Oliver, M.; Lerma-Usabiaga, G.; Caballero Gaudes, César; Quiñones, I.; Suárez-Coalla, P.; Duñabeitia, J.A.; Cuetos, F.; Carreiras, Manuel (NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018)Developmental dyslexia is one of the most prevalent learning disabilities, thought to be associated with dysfunction in the neural systems underlying typical reading acquisition. Neuroimaging research has shown that readers ... -
Neural dynamics supporting longitudinal plasticity of action naming across languages: MEG evidence from bilingual brain tumor patients
Geng, Shuang; Quiñones, Ileana; Gil-Robles, Santiago; Pomposo Gastelu, Iñigo Cristobal; Bermudez, Garazi; Timofeeva, Polina; Molinaro, Nicola; Carreiras, Manuel; Amoruso, Lucia (ELSEVIER, 2023)Previous evidence suggests that distinct ventral and dorsal streams respectively underpin the semantic processing of object and action knowledge. Recently, we found that brain tumor patients with dorsal gliomas in ... -
Neurocognitive mechanisms supporting the generalization of concepts across languages
The neurocognitive mechanisms that support the generalization of semantic representations across different languages remain to be determined. Current psycholinguistic models propose that semantic representations are likely ... -
Online Adaptation to Altered Auditory Feedback Is Predicted by Auditory Acuity and Not by Domain-General Executive Control Resources
Martin, Clara D.; Niziolek, Caroline A.; Duñabeitia, Jon A.; Perez, Alejandro; Hernandez, Doris; Carreiras, Manuel; Houde, John F. (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)When a speaker's auditory feedback is altered, he adapts for the perturbation by altering his own production, which demonstrates the role of auditory feedback in speech motor control. In the present study, we explored the ... -
Open access dataset of task-free hemodynamic activity in 4-monthold infants during sleep using fNIRS
Blanco, Borja; Molnar, Monika; Carreiras, Manuel; Caballero-Gaudes, César (NATURE RESEARCH, 2022)Spontaneous, task-free, hemodynamic activity of the brain provides useful information about its functional organization, as it can describe how different brain regions communicate to each other. Neuroimaging studies measuring ... -
Oscillatory and Structural Signatures of Language Plasticity in Brain Tumor Patients: a Longitudinal Study
Amoruso, Lucia; Geng, Shuang; Molinaro, Nicola; Timofeeva, Polina; Gisbert Muñoz, Sandra; Gil Robles, Santiago; Pomposo, Iñigo; Quiñones, Ileana; Carreiras, Manuel (Wiley, 2021-04-15)Recent evidence suggests that damage to the language network triggers its functional reorganization. Yet, the spectro-temporal fingerprints of this plastic rearrangement and its relation to anatomical changes is less well ... -
Oscillatory dynamics underlying noun and verb production in highly proficient bilinguals
Geng, Shuang; Molinaro, Nicola; Timofeeva, Polina; Quiñones González, Iliana; Carreiras, Manuel; Amoruso, Lucia (Nature Research, 2022-01)[EN] Words representing objects (nouns) and words representing actions (verbs) are essential components of speech across languages. While there is evidence regarding the organizational principles governing neural representation ... -
Out-of-Synchrony Speech Entrainment in Developmental Dyslexia
Molinaro, Nicola; Lizarazu, Mikel; Lallier, Marie; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Carreiras, Manuel (Human Brain Mapping, 2016)Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder often characterized by reduced awareness of speech units. Whether the neural source of this phonological disorder in dyslexic readers results from the malfunctioning of the ... -
Phonatory and articulatory representations of speech production in cortical and subcortical fMRI responses
Correia, João M.; Caballero Gaudes, César; Guediche, Sara; Carreiras, Manuel (Scientific Reports, 2020)Speaking involves coordination of multiple neuromotor systems, including respiration, phonation and articulation. Developing non-invasive imaging methods to study how the brain controls these systems is critical for ... -
Phonological and orthographic coding in deaf skilled readers
Fariña, Noemi; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni; Carreiras, Manuel (Cognition, 2017)Written language is very important in daily life.
