A novel cognitive neurosurgery approach for supramaximal resection of non-dominant precuneal gliomas: A case report
Bermúdez, Garazi; Quiñones, Ileana; Carrasco, Alejandro; Gil-Robles, Santiago; Amoruso, Lucia; Mandonnet, Emmanel; Carreiras, Manuel; Catalán, Gregorio; Pomposo, Iñigo (SPRINGER, 2023)Despite mounting evidence pointing to the contrary, classical neurosurgery presumes many cerebral regions are non-eloquent, and therefore, their excision is possible and safe. This is the case of the precuneus and posterior ... -
Agreement and illusion of disagreement: An ERP study on Basque
Mancini, Simona; Massol, Stephanie; Duñabeitia, Jon A.; Carreiras, Manuel; Molinaro, Nicola (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 ... -
Amodal Atypical Neural Oscillatory Activity in Dyslexia: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective
Lallier, Marie; Molinaro, Nicola; Lizarazu, Mikel; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Carreiras, Manuel (Clinical Psychological Science, 2017)It has been proposed that atypical neural oscillations in both the auditory and the visual modalities could explain why some individuals fail to learn to read and suffer from developmental dyslexia. However, the role of ... -
Attentional Fluctuations, Cognitive Flexibility, and Bilingualism in Kindergarteners
Haft, Stephanie L.; Kepinska, Olga; Caballero, Jocelyn N.; Carreiras, Manuel; Hoeft, Fumiko (Behavioral Sciences, 2019)The idea of a bilingual advantage in aspects of cognitive control—including cognitive flexibility, inhibition, working memory, and attention—is disputed. Using a sample of kindergarten children, the present study investigated ... -
Behavioral and oscillatory signatures of switch costs in highly proficient bilinguals
Timofeeva, Polina; Quiñones, Ileana; Geng, Shuang; de Bruin, Angela; Carreiras, Manuel; Amoruso, Lucia (NATURE, 2023)Bilinguals with a high proficiency in their first (L1) and second language (L2) often show comparable reaction times when switching from their L1 to L2 and vice-versa (“symmetrical switch costs”). However, the neurophysiological ... -
Brain structure, phenotypic and genetic correlates of reading performance
Carrión-Castillo, Amaia; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M.; Carreiras, Manuel (NATURE RESEARCH, 2023)Reading is an evolutionarily recent development that recruits and tunes brain circuitry connecting primary- and language-processing regions. We investigated whether metrics of the brain’s physical structure correlate with ... -
Brain-to-brain entrainment: EEG interbrain synchronization while speaking and listening
Pérez, Alejandro; Carreiras, Manuel; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Scientific Reports, 2017)Electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to investigate interbrain synchronization patterns in dyads of participants interacting through speech. Results show that brain oscillations are synchronized between listener ... -
Chronset: An automated tool for detecting speech onset
Roux, Frédéric; Armstrong, Blair C.; Carreiras, Manuel (Behavior Research Methods, 2017)The analysis of speech onset times has a longstanding tradition in experimental psychology as a measure of how a stimulus influences a spoken response. Yet the lack of accurate automatic methods to measure such ... -
Clear Theories Are Needed to Interpret Differences: Perspectives on the Bilingual Advantage Debate
de Bruin, Angela; Dick, Anthony Steven; Carreiras, Manuel (Neurobiology of Language, 2021)The heated debate regarding bilingual cognitive advantages remains ongoing. While there are many studies supporting positive cognitive effects of bilingualism, recent meta-analyses have concluded that there is no consistent ... -
Co-activation of the L2 during L1 auditory processing: An ERP cross-modal priming study
Bobb, Susan C.; Von Holzen, Katie; Mayor, Julien; Mani, Nivedita; Carreiras, Manuel (Brain and Language, 2020)Several studies have shown that unbalanced bilinguals activate both of their languages simultaneously during L2 processing; however, evidence for L2 activation while participants are tested exclusively in their L1 has been ... -
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
Cespón, Jesús; Chupina, Irina; Carreiras, Manuel (ELSEVIER, 2023)Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ... -
Consonantal overlap effects in a perceptual matching task
Massol, Stéphanie; Carreiras, Manuel; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Experimental Brain Research, 2016)This study investigates the processing of letter position coding by exploring whether or not two explicitly presented words that share the same consonants, but that differ in their vowels, exert mutual interference more ... -
Converging Evidence for Differential Specialization and Plasticity of Language Systems
Gurunandan, Kshipra; Arnaez-Telleria, Jaione; Carreiras, Manuel; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M. (The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)Functional specialization and plasticity are fundamental organizing principles of the brain. Since the mid-1800s, certain cognitive functions have been known to be lateralized, but the provenance and flexibility of ... -
Converging evidence for functional and structural segregation within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex in reading
Lerma-Usabiaga, Garikoitz; Carreiras, Manuel; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), 2018)The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) is crucial for recognizing visual patterns, and previous evidence suggests that there may be different subregions within the vOTC involved in the rapid identification of word ... -
Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals
Villameriel, Saúl; Dias, Patricia; Costello, Brendan; Carreiras, Manuel (Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals. Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners (Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ... -
Cross-Language Modulation of Visual Attention Span: An Arabic-French-Spanish Comparison in Skilled Adult Readers
Awadh, Faris H.R.; Phénix, Thierry; Antzaka, Alexia; Lallier, Marie; Carreiras, Manuel; Valdois, Sylviane (Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)In delineating the amount of orthographic information that can be processed in parallel during a single fixation, the visual attention (VA) span acts as a key component of the reading system. Previous studies focused on ... -
Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ... -
Cross-linguistic semantic preview benefit in Basque-Spanish bilingual readers: Evidence from fixation-related potentials
Mancini, S.; Hernández-Cabrera, J.A.; Hoversten, L.J.; Barber, H.A.; Carreiras, Manuel (Brain and Language, 2021)During reading, we can process and integrate information from words allocated in the parafoveal region. However, whether we extract and process the meaning of parafoveal words is still under debate. Here, we obtained F ... -
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual reading is item specific
Lallier, Marie; Martin, Clara D.; Acha Morcillo, Joana ; Carreiras, Manuel (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2021)The grain size of orthographic representations prompted by a consistent orthography (like Spanish or Basque) increases if reading is simultaneously learned in another language with an inconsistent orthography (like ... -
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilinguals reading in two alphabetic orthographies: The grain size accommodation hypothesis
Lallier, Marie; Carreiras, Manuel (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)Reading acquisition is one of the most complex and demanding learning processes faced by children in their first years of schooling. If reading acquisition is challenging in one language, how is it when reading is acquired ...
