Impact de l’alerte sur l’attention volontaire ou involontaire
Aurélie Bidet-Caudet (INS)
Ana Zappa
Ana ZAPPA received the 2020 Best Thesis Award from the Language, Cognition, and Education doctoral school (ED 356). Her thesis, entitled “Embodied semantics put to the test: electrophysiological evidence from virtual reality and classical environments“, was conducted under the supervision of Cheryl FRENCK-MESTRE (LPL) and in collaboration with the CRVM. Ana examined language processing and […]
European Performing Science Night 2021
Four members of the ILCB – Clément François, Philippe Blache, Thierry Legou and Léonardo Lancia – were present in Badalona for the first European Performing Science Night (EPSN), organized within the framework of the European Researchers’ Night, a Marie Curie Slodowska Initiative. The EPSN project has been possible thanks to collaborations with the Épica foundation, […]
Functional Topography of Auditory Areas Derived From the Combination of Electrophysiological Recordings and Cortical Electrical Stimulation
Agnès Trébuchon, F.-Xavier Alario, & Catherine Liégeois-Chauvel, Front. Hum. Neurosci. 15:702773 The posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) has long been known to be a crucial hub for auditory and language processing, at the crossroad of the functionally defined ventral and dorsal pathways. Anatomical studies have shown that this “auditory cortex” is composed […]
Musical Expertise Is Associated with Improved Neural Statistical Learning in the Auditory Domain
Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau & Daniele Schön Cerebral Cortex, 31 (11), 4877–4890 It is poorly known whether musical training is associated with improvements in general cognitive abilities, such as statistical learning (SL). In standard SL paradigms, musicians have shown better performances than nonmusicians. However, this advantage could be due to differences in auditory discrimination, in memory […]
Oscillatory activity and EEG phase synchrony of concurrent word segmentation and meaning-mapping in 9-year-old children
Neus Ramos-Escobar, Emma Segura, Guillem Olivé, Antoni Rodriguez-Fornells, & Clément François Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 51: 101010 When learning a new language, one must segment words from continuous speech and associate them with meanings. These complex processes can be boosted by attentional mechanisms triggered by multi-sensory information. Previous electrophysiological studies suggest that brain oscillations are sensitive […]
The measurement, evolution, and neural representation of action grammars of human behavior
Dietrich Stout, Thierry Chaminade, Jan Apel, Ali Shafti & A. Aldo Faisal Scientific Reports, 11: 13720 Human behaviors from toolmaking to language are thought to rely on a uniquely evolved capacity for hierarchical action sequencing. Testing this idea will require objective, generalizable methods for measuring the structural complexity of real-world behavior. Here we present a […]
Functionally homologous representation of vocalizations in the auditory cortex of humans and macaques
– Macaques and humans show voice-selective anterior temporal voice areas (aTVA) – Similar representation of sounds are present in primary auditory cortex of both species – Representational similarity analysis (RSA) reveals that aTVAs categorize conspecific vocalizations apart from other sounds – There is a functional homology in the high-level auditory cortex of humans and macaques […]
Víctor José López Madrona
Víctor López-Madrona was awarded a 2021 ILCB post doc fellow grant to conduct a project at the INS to study the electrophysiological dynamics of the auditory cortex during speech perception. As a former engineer, Víctor is specialized on signal analysis and brain connectivity. He did his PhD at the Neuroscience Institute in Alicante, Spain, where […]
Another truly remarkable ILCB summer school!
This year 140 students from all over the world (France, Italy, Russia, Mexico, Taiwan…) gathered at CIRM on the Luminy Campus for the 4th ILCB summer school. They were offered a variety of introductory and advanced courses that reflect the expertise of our Institute, including Language and Cognition, Neuroscience, Statistics and Machine Learning, etc. Students […]
