Flexible and adaptive processes in speech perception
(The Speech Processing Lexicon, 2017)The perception of speech can be flexible, influenced by multiple sources of information, and plastic, tuned over time to cumulative experience. This chapter provides examples of cognitive neuroscience research, presented ... -
Flexible predictions during listening comprehension: Speaker reliability affects anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)During listening comprehension, the identification of individual words can be strongly influenced by properties of the preceding context. While sentence context can facilitate both behavioral and neural responses, it is ... -
Fluidity in the perception of auditory speech: Cross-modal recalibration of voice gender and vowel identity by a talking face
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2020)Humans quickly adapt to variations in the speech signal. Adaptation may surface as recalibration, a learning effect driven by error-minimisation between a visual face and an ambiguous auditory speech signal, or as selective ... -
Foreign-accented speech modulates linguistic anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)Listeners are able to anticipate upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and, as a result, they also pre-activate semantically related words. In the present study, we aim at exploring whether these anticipatory ... -
Frequency-based foveal load modulates semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects
(Elsevier, 2022)During reading, we can process words allocated to the parafoveal visual region. Our ability to extract parafoveal information is determined by the availability of attentional resources, and by how these are distributed ... -
Frequency-Dependent Intrinsic Electrophysiological Functional Architecture of the Human Verbal Language Network
(Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allowed the spatial characterization of the resting-state verbal language network (vLN). While other resting-state networks (RSNs) were matched with their electrophysiological ... -
Frontopolar activity carries feature information of novel stimuli during unconscious reweighting of selective attention
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Adapting to novelty is essential for an organism's survival in an uncertain world. Neuroimaging evidence consistently links the anterior prefrontal, specifically the frontopolar cortex (FPC; BA10), to exploratory reweighting ... -
Functional characterization of correct and incorrect feature integration
(OXFORD, 2023)Our sensory system constantly receives information from the environment and our own body. Despite our impression to the contrary, we remain largely unaware of this information and often cannot report it correctly. Although ... -
Functional connectivity of sensorimotor network is enhanced in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy: A multimodal study using fMRI and MEG
(ELSEVIER, 2024)Objective: To assess the effects to functional connectivity (FC) caused by lesions related to spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) in children and adolescents using multiple imaging modalities. Methods: We used resting ... -
Functional connectivity of the hippocampus and its subfields in resting-state networks
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)Many neuroimaging studies have shown that the hippocampus participates in a resting-state network called the default mode network. However, how the hippocampus connects to the default mode network, whether the hippocampus ... -
Functional connectivity reveals dissociable ventrolateral prefrontal mechanisms for the control of multilingual word retrieval
(Human Brain Mapping, 2020)This functional magnetic resonance imaging study established that different portions of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) support reactive and proactive language control processes during multilingual word retrieval. ... -
Functional correlates of response inhibition in impulse control disorders in Parkinson’s disease
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2021)Impulse control disorder is a prevalent side-effect of Parkinson’s disease (PD) medication, with a strong negative impact on the quality of life of those affected. Although impulsivity has classically been associated with ... -
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 near infrared spectroscopy detects cortical activation changes concurrent with memory loss in postmenopausal women with Type II Diabetes
(SPRINGER, 2023)Older adults with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience mild cognitive impairment, specifically in the domain of recall/working memory. No consistent causative structural cortical deficits have been identified in persons ... -
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. ... -
Functional underpinnings of feedback-enhanced test-potentiated encoding
(OXFORD, 2023)The testing effect describes the finding that retrieval practice enhances memory performance compared to restudy practice. Prior evidence demonstrates that this effect can be boosted by providing feedback after retrieval ... -
Generalization From Newly Learned Words Reveals Structural Properties of the Human Reading System
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2017)Connectionist accounts of quasiregular domains, such as spelling–sound correspondences in English, represent exception words (e.g., pint) amid regular words (e.g., mint) via a graded “warping” mechanism. Warping allows ... -
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 ...
