Hearing as Adaptive Cascaded Envelope Interpolation

Etienne Thoret, Sølvi Ystad, and Richard Kronland-Martinet. 2023. Communications Biology 6 (1): 671  —  @HAL The human auditory system is designed to capture and encode sounds from our surroundings and conspecifics. However, the precise mechanisms by which it adaptively extracts the most important spectro-temporal information from sounds are still not fully understood. Previous auditory models […]

How Do Adults with Dyslexia Recognize Spoken Words? Evidence from Behavioral and EEG Data

Ambre Denis-Noël, Pascale Colé, Deirdre Bolger, and Chotiga Pattamadilok 2023. Scientific Studies of Reading, May, 1–21. —  @HAL Purpose: In adults with dyslexia (DYS), the persistent influence of phonological deficits on spoken language processing has mainly been examined in either perceptual tasks or those tapping complex cognitive operations. Much less attention is devoted to spoken […]

Dimensionality and ramping: Signatures of sentence integration in the dynamics of brains and deep language models

Théo Desbordes, Yair Lakretz, Valérie Chanoine, Maxime Oquab, Jean-Michel Badier, Agnès Trébuchon, Romain Carron, Christian-G. Bénar, Stanislas Dehaene, and Jean-Rémi King. 2023. The Journal of Neuroscience, JN-RM-1163-22. —  @HAL A sentence is more than the sum of its words: its meaning depends on how they combine with one another. The brain mechanisms underlying such semantic […]

Using Video Calls to Study Children’s Conversational Development: The Case of Backchannel Signaling

Kübra Bodur, Mitja Nikolaus, Laurent Prévot, and Abdellah Fourtassi. 2023. Frontiers in Computer Science 5: 1088752  —  @HAL Understanding children’s conversational skills is crucial for understanding their social, cognitive, and linguistic development, with important applications in health and education. To develop theories based on quantitative studies of conversational development, we need (i) data recorded in naturalistic […]

La science de la lecture : fondements et applications

Alain Desrochers & Johannes C. Ziegler. 2023. Approche Neuropsychologique des Apprentissages chez l’Enfant (A.N.A.E.) 182 : 85. —  @HAL Dans cet article, nous traitons de deux sujets distincts, mais interreliés. D’abord, nous décrivons brièvement les procédés qui servent à encoder les sons de la parole et le sens en français écrit. Ces procédés comprennent les […]

Relating Different Dimensions of Bodily Experiences: Review and Proposition of an Integrative Model Relying on Phenomenology, Predictive Brain and Neuroscience of the Self

Lisa Raoul and Marie-Hélène Grosbras. 2023. Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews 148 (May): 105141 —  @HAL How we mentally experience our body has been studied in a variety research domains. Each of these domains focuses in its own ways on different aspects of the body, namely the neurophysiological, perceptual, affective or social components, and proposes different […]

Reconstruction and localization of auditory sources from intracerebral SEEG using independent component analysis

Víctor J. López-Madrona, Samuel Medina Villalon, Jayabal Velmurugan, Aurore Semeux-Bernier, Elodie Garnier, Jean-Michel Badier, Daniele Schön, and Christian-G. Bénar. 2023.  NeuroImage 269 (April): 119905. —  @HAL Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is the surgical implantation of electrodes in the brain to better localize the epileptic network in pharmaco-resistant epileptic patients. This technique has exquisite spatial and temporal resolution. […]

Tactile Perception of Auditory Roughness

Corentin Bernard, Richard Kronland-Martinet, Madeline Fery, Sølvi Ystad, and Etienne Thoret. 2022.  JASA Express Letters 2 (12): 123201 —  @HAL Auditory roughness resulting from fast temporal beatings is often studied by summing two pure tones with close frequencies. Interestingly, the tactile counterpart of auditory roughness can be provided through touch with vibrotactile actua- tors. However, […]

The Effects of Semantic and Syntactic Prediction on Reading Aloud

Elisa Gavard and Johannes C. Ziegler 2022. Experimental Psychology 69 (6): 308–19. —  @HAL Semantic and syntactic prediction effects were investigated in a word naming task using semantic or syntactic contexts that varied between three and six words. Participants were asked to read the contexts silently and name a target word, which was indicated by […]
