Sniffing out meaning: Chemosensory and semantic neural network changes in sommeliers
Carreiras, Manuel; Quiñones, Ileana; Chen, H. Alexander; Vázquez-Araujo, Laura; Small, Dana; Frost, Ram (WILEY, 2024)Wine tasting is a very complex process that integrates a combination of sensa-tion, language, and memory. Taste and smell provide perceptual information that,together with the semantic narrative that converts flavor into ... -
SPALEX: A Spanish Lexical Decision Database From a Massive Online Data Collection
Aguasvivas Manzano, José Armando; Carreiras, Manuel; Brysbaert, Marc; Mandera, Paweł; Keuleers, Emmanuel; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)... -
Spatiotemporal dynamics of postoperative functional plasticity in patients with brain tumors in language areas
Lizarazu, Mikel; Gil Robles, Santiago; Pomposo, Iñigo; Nara, Sanjeev; Amoruso, Lucia; Quiñones, Ileana; Carreiras, Manuel (Brain and Language, 2020)Postoperative functional neuroimaging provides a unique opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms that facilitate language network reorganization. Previous studies in patients with low grade gliomas (LGGs) in ... -
Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension
Molinaro, Nicola; Su, Jui-Ju; Carreiras, Manuel (Brain & Language, 2016)Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ... -
Switching off: disruptive TMS reveals distinct contributions of the posterior middle temporal gyrus and angular gyrus to bilingual speech production
Timofeeva, Polina; Finisguerra, Alessandra; D’Argenio, Giulia; García, Adolfo M.; Carreiras, Manuel; Quiñones, Ileana; Urgesi, Cosimo; Amoruso, Lucia (OXFORD, 2024)The role of the left temporoparietal cortex in speech production has been extensively studied during native language processing, proving crucial in controlled lexico-semantic retrieval under varying cognitive demands. Yet, ... -
The BEST Dataset of Language Proficiency
Carreiras, Manuel; de Bruin, Angela; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Frontiers in Psychology, 2017)... -
The consequences of literacy and schooling for parsing strings
Malik-Moraleda, Saima; Orihuela, Karla; Carreiras, Manuel; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2018)Word processing initially occurs through letter-by-letter parsing at early stages of reading development. Here we investigated the role of literacy in parsing both linguistic and non-linguistic strings, as well as the ... -
The Deployment of Young Readers´ Visual Attention across Orthographic Strings: The Influence of Stems and Suffixes
Antzaka, Alexia; Acha Morcillo, Joana; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie (Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units – stems and suffixes – influence orthographic processing by modulating visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured with ... -
The effect of orthographic depth on letter string processing: the case of visual attention span and rapid automatized naming
Antzaka, Alexia; Martin, Clara D.; Caffarra, Sendy; Schlöffel, Sophie; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie (Reading and Writing, 2018)The present study investigated whether orthographic depth can increase the bias towards multi-letter processing in two reading-related skills: visual attention span (VAS) and rapid automatized naming (RAN). VAS (i.e., the ... -
The effects of bilingualism on attentional processes in the first year of life
Kalashnikova, Marina; Pejovic, Jovana; Carreiras, Manuel (Developmental Science, 2021)Bilingualism is a powerful experiential factor, and its effects have been proposed to extend beyond the linguistic domain by boosting the development of executive functioning skills. Crucially, recent findings suggest ... -
The impact of bilingualism on executive functions and working memory in young adults
Antón Ustaritz, Eneko; Carreiras, Manuel; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (PLOS ONE, 2019)A bilingual advantage in a form of a better performance of bilinguals in tasks tapping into executive function abilities has been reported repeatedly in the literature. However, recent research defends that this advantage ... -
The neuroanatomy of bilingualism: how to turn a hazy view into the full picture
García-Pentón, Lorna; Fernández García, Yuriem; Costello, Brendan; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni; Carreiras, Manuel (Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention. However, it is still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual experience since current findings are highly ... -
The proactive bilingual brain: Using interlocutor identity to generate predictions for language processing
Martin, Clara D.; Molnar, Monika; Carreiras, Manuel (Scientific Reports, 2016)The present study investigated the proactive nature of the human brain in language perception. Specifically, we examined whether early proficient bilinguals can use interlocutor identity as a cue for language prediction, ... -
The specificity of the neural response to speech at birth
May, Lillian; Gervain, Judit; Carreiras, Manuel; Werker, Janet F. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291467-7687, 2018)In this work we ask whether at birth, the human brain responds uniquely to speech, or if similar activation also occurs to a non-speech surrogate ‘language’. We compare neural activation in newborn infants to the language ... -
The time course of processing handwritten words: An ERP investigation
Vergara-Martínez, Marta; Gutierrez-Sigut, Eva; Perea, Manuel; Gil-López, Cristina; Carreiras, Manuel (Neuropsychologia, 2021)Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition. Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for less ... -
Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in auditory cortex is modulated by language proficiency
Lizarazu, Mikel; Carreiras, Manuel; Molinaro, Nicola (WILEY, 2023)The coordination between the theta phase (3–7 Hz) and gamma power (25–35 Hz) oscillations (namely theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling, PAC) in the auditory cortex has been proposed as an essential neural mechanism ... -
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
Quiñones, Ileana; Molinaro, Nicola; Mancini, Simona; Hernández-Cabrera, Juan Andrés; Barber, Horacio; Carreiras, Manuel (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 ... -
Verbal production dynamics and plasticity: functional contributions of language and executive control systems
Gurunandan, Kshipra; Carreiras, Manuel; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M. (OXFORD, 2023)Bilingual language production requires both language knowledge and language control in order to communicate in a target language. Learning or improving a language in adulthood is an increasingly common undertaking, and ... -

Quiñones, Ileana; Amoruso, Lucia; Pomposo Gastelu, Iñigo Cristobal; Gil-Robles, Santiago; Carreiras, Manuel (Cancers, 2021)Recent evidence suggests that the presence of brain tumors (e.g., low-grade gliomas) triggers language reorganization. Neuroplasticity mechanisms called into play can transfer linguistic functions from damaged to healthy ... -
