Balancing the 2 Hemispheres in Simple Calculation: Evidence From Direct Cortical Electrostimulation
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)How do the parietal lobes contribute to simple calculation? Clinical and neuroimaging methods, which are based mainly on correlational evidence, have provided contrasting results so far. Here we used direct cortical ... -
Basic Composition and Enriched Integration in Idiom Processing: An EEG Study
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017)We investigated the extent to which the literal meanings of the words forming literally plausible idioms (e.g., break the ice) are semantically composed and how the idiomatic meaning is integrated in the unfolding sentence ... -
Basque-Spanish bilingual children’s expressive and receptive grammatical abilities
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)Expressive-receptive gaps in lexical abilities have been documented for bilingual children, but few studies have investigated whether a similar gap is observed at the grammatical level. The current study assessed grammatical ... -
Bayesian longitudinal segmentation of hippocampal substructures in brain MRI using subject-specific atlases
(NeuroImage, 2016)The hippocampal formation is a complex, heterogeneous structure that consists of a number of distinct, interacting subregions. Atrophy of these subregions is implied in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, most ... -
Behavioral and oscillatory signatures of switch costs in highly proficient bilinguals
(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 ... -
Behavioural and electrophysiological modulations induced by transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease patients: A pilot study
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)Objective To investigate whether anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modify cognitive performance and neural activity in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Metho ... -
Beta-Band Activity Is a Signature of Statistical Learning
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)Through statistical learning (SL), cognitive systems may discover the underlying regularities in the environment. Testing human adults (n = 35, 21 females), we document, in the context of a classical visual SL task, ... -
Better than native: Tone language experience enhances English lexical stress discrimination in Cantonese-English bilingual listeners
(Cognition, 2019)While many second language (L2) listeners are known to struggle when discriminating non-native features absent in their first language (L1), no study has reported that L2 listeners perform better than native listeners in ... -
BIDScoin: A User-Friendly Application to Convert Source Data to Brain Imaging Data Structure
(Frontiers, 2022)Analyses of brain function and anatomy using shared neuroimaging data is an important development, and have acquired the potential to be scaled up with the specification of a new Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) ... -
Bilingual Grammar: Toward an Integrated Model
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)LUIS LÓPEZ, Bilingual Grammar: Toward an Integrated Model. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2020. viii + 229 pp. This monograph constitutes an indispensable source of information for those interested in bilingualism, (formal) ... -
Bilingual Infants Readily Orient to Novel Visual Stimuli
(APA, 2023)Bilingualism has been shown to modify infants’ responses in a range of domains. In particular, early bilingual experience is associated with greater flexibility and openness in infant perception and learning. In this study, ... -
Bilingual Preschoolers ’ Speech is Associated with Non-Native Maternal Language Input
(Language Learning and Development, 2019)Bilingual children are often exposed to non-native speech through their parents. Yet, little is known about the relation between bilingual preschoolers’ speech production and their speech input. The present study investigated ... -
Biomarkers for Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease
(Movement Disorders, 2016)Cognitive decline is one of the most frequent and disabling nonmotor features of Parkinson's disease. Around 30% of patients with Parkinson's disease experience mild cognitive impairment, a well-established risk factor for ... -
Blue-Enriched Light Enhances Alertness but Impairs Accurate Performance in Evening Chronotypes Driving in the Morning
(Frontiers Psychology, 2018)Attention maintenance is highly demanding and typically leads to vigilance decrement along time on task. Therefore, performance in tasks involving vigilance maintenance for long periods, such as driving, tends to deteriorate ... -
Body into Narrative: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Signatures of Action Text Processing After Ecological Motor Training
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Embodied cognition research indicates that sensorimotor training can influence action concept processing. Yet, most studies employ isolated (pseudo)randomized stimuli and require repetitive single-effector responses, ... -
Brain activity patterns of phonemic representations are atypical in beginning readers with family risk for dyslexia
(Developmental Science, 2020)There is an ongoing debate whether phonological deficits in dyslexics should be attributed to (a) less specified representations of speech sounds, like suggested by studies in young children with a familial risk for ... -
Brain Networks Modulation in Young and Old Subjects During Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Applied on Prefrontal and Parietal Cortex
(World Scientific Publishing, 2022)Evidence indicates that the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential to transiently modulate cognitive function, including age-related changes in brain performance. Only a small number of studies ... -
Brain Signatures of Embodied Semantics and Language: A Consensus Paper
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)According to embodied theories (including embodied, embedded, extended, enacted, situated, and grounded approaches to cognition), language representation is intrinsically linked to our interactions with the world around ... -
Brain structure, phenotypic and genetic correlates of reading performance
(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-behavior relationships in incidental learning of non-native phonetic categories
(Brain and Language, 2019)Research has implicated the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) in mapping acoustic-phonetic input to sound category representations, both in native speech perception and non-native phonetic category learning. At issue is ...
