Development of neural oscillatory activity in response to speech in children from 4 to 6 years old
Ríos-López, Paula; Molinaro, Nicola; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Lallier, Marie (Developmental Science, 2020)Recent neurophysiological theories propose that the cerebral hemispheres collaborate to resolve the complex temporal nature of speech, such that left-hemisphere (or bilateral) gamma-band oscillatory activity would ... -
Right-hemisphere coherence to speech at prereading stages predicts reading performance one year later
Ríos-López, Paula; Molinaro, Nicola; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Lallier, Marie (Taylor & Francis, 2022)Neural entrainment to the low-frequency modulations of speech might contribute significantly to reading acquisition. Still, no previous study has actually attempted to establish a longitudinal link between them. The ... -
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 ... -
Tapping to a beat in synchrony predicts brain print sensitivity in pre-readers
Ríos-López, Paula; Molinaro, Nicola; Lallier, Marie (Brain and Language, 2019)This longitudinal study was aimed at testing the relation between rhythm sensitivity and behavioural and neural orthographic sensitivity in pre-reading stages. Basque-speaking children performed several behavioural and EEG ... -
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) ...
