Left Superior Temporal Gyrus Is Coupled to Attended Speech in a Cocktail-Party Auditory Scene
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2016)
Using a continuous listening task, we evaluated the coupling between the listener’s cortical activity and the temporal envelopes of
different sounds in a multitalker auditory scene using magnetoencephalography and ...
The relation between working memory and language comprehension in signers and speakers
(Acta Psychologica, 2017)
This study investigated the relation between linguistic and spatial working memory (WM) resources and
language comprehension for signed compared to spoken language. Sign languages are both linguistic and visualspatial,
and ...
World knowledge and novel information integration during L2 speech comprehension
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)
In this study we explore whether world knowledge (WK) processing differs between individuals listening to their native (L1)
or their non-native (L2) language. We recorded event-related brain potentials in L1 and L2 speakers ...
Evidence for a bimodal bilingual disadvantage in letter fluency
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)
Many bimodal bilinguals are immersed in a spoken language-dominant environment from an early age and, unlike unimodal
bilinguals, do not necessarily divide their language use between languages. Nonetheless, early ASL–English ...
Motor dexterity and strength depend upon integrity of the attention-control system
(PNAS, 2018)
Attention control (or executive control) is a higher cognitive function involved in response selection and inhibition, through close interactions with the motor system. Here, we tested whether influences of attention control ...
Anatomical and functional changes in the brain after simultaneous interpreting training: A longitudinal study
(Cortex, 2018)
In the recent literature on bilingualism, a lively debate has arisen about the long-term effects of bilingualism on cognition and the brain. These studies yield inconsistent results, in part because they rely on comparisons ...
Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ...
Infective endocarditis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy A multicenter, prospective, cohort study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016-06)
Infective endocarditis (IE) complicating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a poorly known entity. Although current guidelines do not recommend IE antibiotic prophylaxis (IEAP) in HCM, controversy remains.This study ...
White matter microstructure of attentional networks predicts attention and consciousness functional interactions
(Brain Structure and Function, 2018)
Attention is considered as one of the pre-requisites of conscious perception. Phasic alerting and exogenous orienting improve conscious perception of near-threshold information through segregated brain networks. Using a ...
Creating stable Floquet–Weyl semimetals by laser-driving of 3D Dirac materials
(Nature Publishing, 2017-01-17)
Tuning and stabilizing topological states, such as Weyl semimetals, Dirac semimetals or topological insulators, is emerging as one of the major topics in materials science. Periodic driving of many-body systems offers a ...
