Neural Signal to Violations of Abstract Rules Using Speech-Like Stimuli Open
As the evidence of predictive processes playing a role in a wide variety of cognitive domains increases, the brain as a predictive machine becomes a central idea in neuroscience. In auditory processing, a considerable amount of progress ha…

Newborns are sensitive to multiple cues for word segmentation in continuous speech Open
Before infants can learn words, they must identify those words in continuous speech. Yet, the speech signal lacks obvious boundary markers, which poses a potential problem for language acquisition (Swingley, Philos Trans R Soc Lond. Series…

In vivo measure of neonate brain optical properties and hemodynamic parameters by time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy Open
By exploiting a multichannel portable instrument for time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-NIRS), we characterized healthy neonates' brains in term of optical properties and hemodynamic parameters. In particular, we assessed the absol…

Brain regions and functional interactions supporting early word recognition in the face of input variability Open
Significance Since birth, infants begin to learn a myriad of sounds. Yet our knowledge of their abilities to remember specific sounds is primarily based on habituation studies that presented them with massive repetitions of single sounds. …

Statistical Speech Segmentation in Tone Languages: The Role of Lexical Tones Open
Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation of speech based on transitional probabilities (TPs), mo…

Infants’ Selectively Pay Attention to the Information They Receive from a Native Speaker of Their Language Open
From the first moments of their life, infants show a preference for their native language, as well as toward speakers with whom they share the same language. This preference appears to have broad consequences in various domains later on, s…
