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 ... -
Delta(but not theta)-band cortical entrainment involves speech-specific processing
Molinaro, Nicola; Lizarazu, Mikel (European Journal of Neuroscience, 2018)Cortical oscillations phase-align to the quasi-rhythmic structure of the speech envelope. This speech-brain entrainment has been reported in two frequency bands, that is both in the theta band (4-8 Hz) and in the delta ... -
Impaired neural response to speech edges in dyslexia
Lizarazu, Mikel; Lallier, Marie; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Carreiras, Manuel; Molinaro, Nicola (ScienceDirect, 2021)Speech comprehension has been proposed to critically rely on oscillatory cortical tracking, that is, phase alignment of neural oscillations to the slow temporal modulations (envelope) of speech. Speech-brain entrainment ... -
Is there a common oscillatory brain mechanism for producing and predicting language?
Molinaro, Nicola; Monsalve, Irene F.; Lizarazu, Mikel (Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Recent proposals have suggested that language prediction is supported by the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in language production. Both prediction and production in language imply information processing percolating ... -
Language Proficiency Entails Tuning Cortical Activity to Second Language Speech
Lizarazu, Mikel; Carreiras, Manuel; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Zarraga, Asier; Molinaro, Nicola (Cerebral Cortex, 2021)Cortical tracking of linguistic structures in speech, such as phrases (<3 Hz, delta band) and syllables (3–8 Hz, theta band), is known to be crucial for speech comprehension. However, it has not been established whether ... -
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 entrainment to speech and nonspeech in dyslexia: Conceptual replication and extension of previous investigations
Lizarazu, Mikel; Scotto di Covella, Lou; van Wassenhove, Virginie; Rivière, Denis; Mizzi, Raphael; Lehongre, Katia; Hertz-Pannier, Lucie; Ramus, Franck (Cortex, 2021)Whether phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia are associated with impaired neural sampling of auditory information is still under debate. Previous findings suggested that dyslexic participants showed atypical ... -
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 ... -
Phase−amplitude coupling between theta and gamma oscillations adapts to speech rate
Lizarazu, Mikel; Lallier, Marie; Molinaro, Nicola (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Low- and high-frequency cortical oscillations play an important role in speech processing. Low-frequency neural oscillations in the delta (<4Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) bands entrain to the prosodic and syllabic rates of speech, ... -
Reading-Related Brain Changes in Audiovisual Processing: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal MEG Evidence
Caffarra, Sendy; Lizarazu, Mikel; Molinaro, Nicola; Carreiras, Manuel (The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)The ability to establish associations between visual objects and speech sounds is essential for human reading. Understanding the neural adjustments required for acquisition of these arbitrary audiovisual associations can ... -
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 ... -
Speech-brain phase coupling is enhanced in low contextual semantic predictability conditions
Molinaro, Nicola; Lizarazu, Mikel; Baldin, Veronica; Pérez-Navarro, Jose; Lallier, Marie; Ríos-López, Paula (Neuropsychologia, 2021)Semantic prediction and cortical entrainment to the acoustic landmarks of the speech envelope are two fundamental yet qualitatively different mechanisms that facilitate speech comprehension. However, it is not clear ... -
Temporal uncertainty enhances suppression of neural responses to predictable visual stimuli
Nara, Sanjeev; Lizarazu, Mikel; Richter, Craig G; Dima, Diana C; Cichy, Radoslaw M; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Molinaro, Nicola (NeuroImage, 2021)Contextual information triggers predictions about the content ( “what ”) of environmental stimuli to update an in- ternal generative model of the surrounding world. However, visual information dynamically changes across ... -
The Role of Slow Speech Amplitude Envelope for Speech Processing and Reading Development
Ríos-López, Paula; Molnar, Monika T.; Lizarazu, Mikel; Lallier, Marie (Frontiers in Psychology, 2017)This study examined the putative link between the entrainment to the slow rhythmic structure of speech, speech intelligibility and reading by means of a behavioral paradigm. Two groups of 20 children (Grades 2 and 5) ... -
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 ... -
Word and object recognition during reading acquisition: MEGevidence
Caffarra, Sendy; Martin, Clara D.; Lizarazu, Mikel; Lallier, Marie; Zarraga, Asier (Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017)Studies on adults suggest that reading-induced brain changes might not be limited to linguistic processes. It is still unclear whether these results can be generalized to reading development. The present study shows to ...
