A left-to-right bias in spatial numerical associations with dots and symbols Open
Number and space are intertwined in human and non-human cognition. A substantial body of research has shown that numerical magnitudes are mentally represented along a spatial continuum, akin to a “mental number line”. Some suggested that i…

WTools: A MATLAB-based toolbox for time-frequency analysis of infant data Open
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an established method for investigating neurocognitive functions during human development. In cognitive neuroscience, time-frequency analysis of the EEG is a widely used analytical approach. This paper intro…

A left-to-right bias in number-space mapping across ages and cultures Open
Number and space are inherently related. Previous research has provided evidence that numbers are aligned to a so-called "mental number line", which is malleable and affected by cultural factors mostly linked to literacy-related habits. Ho…

Estimating steady-state evoked potentials in the limit of short data duration and low stimulation frequency Open
Because of their high signal-to-noise ratio and robustness to artifacts, Steady-State Evoked Potentials (SSEP) - the periodic responses elicited by periodic stimulation designs - are increasingly used in human neuroscience for measuring st…

A universal left-to-right bias in number-space mapping across ages and cultures Open
Number and space are inherently related. For decades, authors have collected evidence showing that numbers are aligned to a so-called “mental number line”, which is malleable and affected by cultural factors. However, preverbal human and n…

Efficient Low-Frequency SSVEP Detection with Wearable EEG Using Normalized Canonical Correlation Analysis Open
Recent studies show that the integrity of core perceptual and cognitive functions may be tested in a short time with Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEP) with low stimulation frequencies, between 1 and 10 Hz. Wearable EEG systems …

Adaptable and Robust EEG Bad Channel Detection Using Local Outlier Factor (LOF) Open
Electroencephalogram (EEG) data are typically affected by artifacts. The detection and removal of bad channels (i.e., with poor signal-to-noise ratio) is a crucial initial step. EEG data acquired from different populations require differen…

NEAR: An artifact removal pipeline for human newborn EEG data Open
Electroencephalography (EEG) is arising as a valuable method to investigate neurocognitive functions shortly after birth. However, obtaining high-quality EEG data from human newborn recordings is challenging. Compared to adults and older i…

Multiple spatial codes for navigating 2-D semantic spaces Open
Summary When mammals navigate in the physical environment, specific neurons such as grid-cells, head-direction cells, and place-cells activate to represent the navigable surface, the faced direction of movement, and the specific location t…

Cortical route for facelike pattern processing in human newborns Open
Significance Newborns show a remarkable ability to detect faces even minutes after birth, an ecologically fundamental skill that is instrumental for interacting with their conspecifics. What are the neural bases of this expertise? Using EE…

A cortical route for face-like pattern processing in human newborns Open
Humans are endowed with an exceptional ability for detecting faces, a competence that in adults is supported by a set of face-specific cortical patches. Human newborns already shortly after birth preferentially orient to faces even when th…

Conceptual and Perceptual Dimensions of Word Meaning Are Recovered Rapidly and in Parallel during Reading Open
A single word (the noun “ elephant”) encapsulates a complex multidimensional meaning, including both perceptual (“ big”, “ gray”, “ trumpeting”) and conceptual (“ mammal”, “ can be found in India”) features. Opposing theories make differen…

Disruption of hierarchical predictive coding during sleep Open
Significance Sleeping disrupts the conscious awareness of external sounds. We investigated the stage of processing at which this disruption occurs. In the awake brain, when a regular sequence of sounds is presented, a hierarchy of brain ar…
