Progression from selective to general involvement of hippocampal subfields in schizophrenia
(Molecular Psychiatry, 2017)
Volume deficits of the hippocampus in schizophrenia have been consistently reported. However, the hippocampus is anatomically heterogeneous; it remains unclear whether certain portions of the hippocampus are affected more ...
Directional asymmetries reveal a universal bias in adult vowel perception
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017)
Research on cross-language vowel perception in both infants and adults has shown that for many
vowel contrasts, discrimination is easier when the same pair of vowels is presented in one direction
compared to the reverse ...
Relative Salience of Speech Rhythm and Speech Rate on Perceived Foreign Accent in a Second Language
(Language and Speech, 2017)
We investigated the independent contribution of speech rate and speech rhythm to perceived foreign accent. To address this issue we used a resynthesis technique that allows neutralizing segmental and tonal idiosyncrasies ...
Prediction of Agreement and Phonetic Overlap Shape Sublexical Identification
(Language and Speech, 2017)
The mapping between the physical speech signal and our internal representations is rarely straightforward. When faced with uncertainty, higher-order information is used to parse the signal and because of this, the lexicon ...
Fully Biodegradable Biocomposites with High Chicken Feather Content
(MDPI, 2017-11-09)
The aim of this work was to develop new biodegradable polymeric materials with high
loadings of chicken feather (CF). In this study, the effect of CF concentration and the type of
biodegradable matrix on the physical, ...
The long road of statistical learning research: past, present and future
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)
The Role of Slow Speech Amplitude Envelope for Speech Processing and Reading Development
(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) ...
Addressee Identity and Morphosyntactic Processing in Basque Allocutive Agreement
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2017)
Information about interlocutor identity is pragmatic in nature and has traditionally been distinguished from explicitly coded linguistic information, including mophosyntax. Study of speaker identity in language processing ...
Catalytic Performance of a New 1D Cu(II) Coordination Polymer {Cu(NO3)(H2O)}(HTae)(4,40-Bpy) for Knoevenagel Condensation
(MDPI, 2016-12-01)
The {Cu(NO3)(H2O)}(HTae)(4,40-Bpy) (H2Tae = 1,1,2,2-tetraacetylethane, 4,40-Bpy =
4,40-Dipyridyl) 1D coordination polymer has been obtained by slow evaporation. The crystal structure
consists of parallel and oblique ...
Does learning a language in the elderly enhance switching ability?
(Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2017)
The bilingual advantage has been subject of research repeatedly over the last decade. Many studies have supported the idea of the existence of a higher functioning in domain general cognitive abilities among bilingual ...
