Assessing the representation of seen and unseen contents in human brains and deep artificial networks
(2022-11-26)
The functional scope of unconscious visual information processing and its implementation in the human brain remains a highly contested issue in cognitive neuroscience. The influential global workspace and higher-order ...
The role of orthography in auditory word learning
(2023-02-20)
The present thesis investigates the role of orthography in auditory word learning. Across three experiments we explore whether adult speakers of Spanish (Experiments 1 and 3) and French (Experiment 2) use their knowledge ...
Magnocellular and parvocellular visual pathways, involvement in reading. Examination of developmental trajectories, visual cortex regions and reading circuitries
(2022-05-23)
The magnocellular and parvocellular systems are major visual recognition pathways, with distinct histological and physiological properties. Despite their critical role, there is limited evidence on the specific contributions ...
Phonetic detail of voicing categories in Basque-Spanish bilinguals. Evidence from production and perception
(2023-05-04)
El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es investigar las categorías fonéticas de personas bilingües en sus dos idiomas. La pregunta en la que se fundamenta esta investigación es la siguiente: ¿las personas bilingües cuyos ...
The impact of human language on perceptual categorization: electrophysiological insights.
(2021-11-18)
How does learning cultural systems like language impact cognition and perception? The last few years have seen increased interest into this topic, yet with little theoretical advance. One fundamental question concerns the ...
The Neural Representation of Concepts in Bilinguals: An Evaluation of Factors Influencing Cross-language Overlap Using fMRI-based Multivariate Pattern Analysis
(2023-07-13)
The neurocognitive mechanisms that support the generalization of semantic representations across different languages remain to be determined. Current psycholinguistic models propose that semantic representations are likely ...
Exploring the effects of accent on cognitive processes: behavioral and electrophysiological insights
(2023-09-27)
Previous research has found that speaker accent can have an impact on a range of offline and online cognitive processes (Baus, Bas, Calabria, & Costa, 2017; McAleer, Todorov, & Belin, 2014; Stevenage, Clarke, & McNeill, ...
Neural dynamics underlying object and action naming across languages: Insights from health and disease
(2023-10-30)
Words representing objects (nouns) and words representing actions (verbs) are essential components of speech across languages. Previous studies have shown that the lexico-semantic processing of object and action knowledge ...
Neural and behavioral signatures of language control in highly proficient bilinguals: Evidence from healthy individuals and brain tumor patients
(2023-10-31)
The bilingual population can provide a unique insight into bilingual language processing. One area debated in the literature is how a bilingual brain manages the known languages and what happens when damage occurs. The ...
Temporal structure in language production and processing: a crossmodal comparison of spoken and sign language
(2023-03-10)
Este trabajo de doctorado investiga el efecto de la modalidad, acústica y visual, en la estructura te mporal del lenguaje. Comparamos el español europeo hablado y la lengua de signos española( que utilizan respectivamente ...
