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 […]
Class of 2021 – Master in Cognitive Science
The class of 2021 of the master in Cognitive Science, aka MasCo, is here! On this very week, 27 students are joining the Master 1, of which 14 will follow the track “Language, Communication, and the Brain” and 13 will follow the track “Cognitive functions: Normal and pathological organization”. The students come from a variety […]
Strengths and challenges of longitudinal non-human primate neuroimaging
Xiaowei Song, Pamela García-Saldivar, Nathan Kindred, Yujiang Wang, Hugo Merchant, Adrien Meguerditchian, Yihong Yang, Elliot Stein, Charles Bradberry, Suliann Hamed, Hank Jedema, & Colline Poirier NeuroImage, 236, 118009. Longitudinal non-human primate neuroimaging has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of primate brain structure and function. Here we describe its specific strengths, compared to both […]
Do you want /ʃoloka/ on a /bistɔk/? On the scope of transposed-phoneme effects with non-adjacent phonemes
Sophie Dufour, Jonathan Mirault, & Jonathan Grainger Psychon Bull Rev (2021) We conducted two lexical decision experiments and one replication study to examine the scope of transposed-phoneme effects when the transposition involves non-adjacent phonemes. The critical stimuli were non-words derived from a real word (the base-word) either by transposing two phonemes or by substituting the […]
Isabelle Darcy, Professor at Indiana University Bloomington (USA)
Dr. Isabelle Darcy is Professor of Second Language Studies at Indiana University Bloomington (USA) and currently a research fellow at the IMéRA/ILCB until July 2022. Her research explores how adult language learners acquire the sounds and the words of a new language. She uses psycholinguistic methods to understand how these learners “learn to listen” and […]
