Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)
Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ...
Language modality and temporal structure impact processing: Sign and speech have different windows of integration
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)
Language comprehension depends on the ability to temporally process the periodic structure of the language
signal. In this study we investigate temporal processing of Spanish Sign Language (LSE), isolating the ...
Cross-modal and cross-language activation in bilinguals reveals lexical competition even when words or signs are unheard or unseen
(PNAS, 2022)
We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the
dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a
sign coactivates phonologically related signs, just ...
Open access dataset of task-free hemodynamic activity in 4-monthold infants during sleep using fNIRS
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2022)
Spontaneous, task-free, hemodynamic activity of the brain provides useful information about its functional organization, as it can describe how different brain regions communicate to each other. Neuroimaging studies measuring ...
Group-level cortical functional connectivity patterns using fNIRS: assessing the effect of bilingualism in young infants
(Neurophotonics, 2021)
Significance: Early monolingual versus bilingual experience induces adaptations in the development
of linguistic and cognitive processes, and it modulates functional activation patterns during
the first months of life. ...
Highlighting the lack of neuropsychologists and speech therapists in healthcare services towards an accurate (pre‐ and postoperative) cognitive assessment in low‐grade glioma patients
(WILEY, 2022)
Key points
Due to the slow growth of Low‐grade gliomas (LGGs), cognitive impairments can be quite difficult to detect at early stages
There is a lack of staff specialized on the cognitive and emotional assessment of ...
Behavioral and oscillatory signatures of switch costs in highly proficient bilinguals
(NATURE, 2023)
Bilinguals with a high proficiency in their first (L1) and second language (L2) often show comparable reaction times when switching from their L1 to L2 and vice-versa (“symmetrical switch costs”). However, the neurophysiological ...
Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in auditory cortex is modulated by language proficiency
(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 ...
Lexiland: A Tablet-based Universal Screener for Reading Difficulties in the School Context
(SAGE, 2022)
Massive and timely screening of the student population for early signs of reading difficulties is needed to implement timely effective remediation of these difficulties. However, traditional approaches are costly and hard ...
Mind the Orthography: Revisiting the Contribution of Prereading Phonological Awareness to Reading Acquisition
(APA, 2022)
Reading acquisition is based on a set of preliteracy skills that lay the foundation for future reading abilities.
Phonological awareness—the ability to identify and manipulate the sound units of oral language—
has been ...
