Bringing together experts in linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, medicine and computer science to understand and to model the way that language functions.
The objective is to create a generic model of the processing of language and its cerebral bases.

Pre-attentive and attentive syllabic perception in professional singers and non-musicians

Frequency Selectivity of Persistent Cortical Oscillatory Responses to Auditory Rhythmic Stimulation
Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau, Agnès Trébuchon, Benjamin Morillon, & Daniele Schön https://www.jneurosci.org/content/41/38/7991 Cortical oscillations have been proposed to play a functional role in speech and music perception, attentional selection, and working memory, via the mechanism of neural entrainment. One of the properties of neural entrainment that is often taken for granted is that its modulatory effect […]
Linguistic et neuro-physiological comparison of human-human and human-robot conversations
A body of natural conversations helped develop lexical alignment between participants and two types of interlocutors: a human and a robot. fMRI data indicates a negative correlation of this alignment with cingulate cortex activity, suggesting a reduction in internal resource use when the participant’s lexicon is aligned to that of the speaker Hallart, C., Maes, […]
Overpressure on fingertips prevents state estimation of the pen grip force and movement accuracy
Jérémy Danna, Mathilde Nordlund, Didier Louber, Simon Moré, & Laurence Mouchnino Experimental Brain Research (in press) Full text on Hal We tested the hypothesis that the inability to move a pen accurately in a graphic task is partly due to a decrease of afferent somatosensory information resulting from overpressure on the tactile receptors of […]
The dynamics of reading complex words: evidence from steady-state visual evoked potentials
Elisabeth Beyersmann, Veronica Montani, Johannes C Ziegler, Jonathan Grainger, & Ivilin Peev Stoianov Scientific Reports 11, 15919 (2021) The present study used steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) to examine the spatio-temporal dynamics of reading morphologically complex words and test the neurophysiological activation pattern elicited by stems and suffixes. Three different types of target words were […]
The Same Ultra-Rapid Parallel Brain Dynamics Underpin the Production and Perception of Speech
Amie Fairs, Amandine Michelas, Sophie Dufour, & Kristof Strijkers Cerebral Cortex Communications, Volume 2, Issue 3, 2021, tgab040 The temporal dynamics by which linguistic information becomes available is one of the key properties to understand how language is organized in the brain. An unresolved debate between different brain language models is whether words, the building […]

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 […]
