The beauty of language structure: A single-case fMRI study of palindrome creation
(Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2022)Humans seem to be inherently driven to engage in wordplay. An example is the creation of palindromes – sentences that read the same backward and forward. This activity can be framed as a curiosity-driven ... -
Neural signatures of predictive language processing in Parkinson's disease with and without mild cognitive impairment
(Cortex, 2021)Cognitive deficits are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), with some PD patients meeting criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). An unaddressed question is whether linguistic prediction is preserved ... -
The black box of global aphasia: Neuroanatomical underpinnings of remission from acute global aphasia with preserved inner language function
(Cortex, 2020)Objective: We studied an unusual case of global aphasia (GA) occurring after brain tumor removal and remitting one-month after surgery. After recovering, the patient reported on her experience during ... -
Ahead of time: early sentence slow cortical modulations associated to semantic prediction
(NeuroImage, 2019)According to prediction-based accounts of language comprehension, incoming contextual information is constantly used to guide the pre-activation of the most probable continuations to the unfolding ... -
Alpha power decreases associated with prediction in written and spoken sentence comprehension
(Neuropsychologia, 2022)Alpha and beta power decreases have been associated with prediction in a variety of cognitive domains. Recent studies in sentence comprehension have also reported alpha and/or beta power decreases ... -
Electrophysiological correlates of semantic anticipation during speech comprehension
(Neuropsychologia, 2017)Words that are more predictable given a previous context show facilitated processing over low predictable ones. Such facilitation has been traditionally viewed as associated with reduced amplitudes in ... -
Virtual Reality Body Exposure Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa. A Case Report With Follow-Up Results
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)Objective: Exposure-based therapies such as mirror exposure may help to improve the results of classic cognitive behavioral therapy in anorexia nervosa (AN). Virtual reality (VR)-based procedures provide ... -
AN-VR-BE. A Randomized Controlled Trial for Reducing Fear of Gaining Weight and Other Eating Disorder Symptoms in Anorexia Nervosa through Virtual Reality-Based Body Exposure
(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021)In vivo body exposure therapy is considered an effective and suitable intervention to help patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) reduce their body image disturbances (BIDs). However, these interventions ... -
Body-related attentional bias as mediator of the relationship between body mass index and body dissatisfaction
(European Eating Disorders Review, 2020)Body image disturbance, consisting of an affective (body dissatisfaction) and perceptual (body distortion) component, is not only found in eating disorders, but is also present in healthy individuals, ... -
The influence of gender and body dissatisfaction on body-related attentional bias: An eye-tracking and virtual reality study
(International Journal of Eating Disorders, 2019)Objective: In the attentional bias (AB) phenomenon, eating disorder (ED) patients show a tendency to pay more attention to self-attributed unattractive body parts than to other body parts. However, ... -
Is This My Own Body? Changing the Perceptual and Affective Body Image Experience among College Students Using a New Virtual Reality Embodiment-Based Technique
(Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019)Body image disturbances (BIDs) have been widely studied using virtual reality (VR) devices that induce a full body illusion (FBI) and allow manipulation of the individual’s perceptual and affective ... -
Improving Emotion Regulation, Internalizing Symptoms and Cognitive Functions in Adolescents at Risk of Executive Dysfunction—A Controlled Pilot VR Study
(Applied Sciences, 2025)Executive functions (EFs) are essential cognitive processes involved in concentration, planning, decision-making, and impulse control during adolescence. Executive Dysfunction (ED) can lead to significant ... -
A Comparison of Apical Transportation between ProFile and RaCe Rotary Instruments
(Journal of Endodontics, 2012)Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate apical transportation of root canals after the use of RaCe (FKG Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) and ProFile (Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, ... -
The role of language anxiety and enjoyment in advanced profciency; Considerations for task-based language teaching research
(2021)Te current chapter examines the subjective experiences of 14 Spanish advanced learners and 10 low-profciency learners in relation to their L2 anxiety and enjoyment while performing two oral narrative ... -
Task anxiety, cognition and performance on oral tasks in L2 Spanish
(Journal of Spanish Language Teaching, 2022)This article investigates the three-way interface between foreign language anxiety (FLA), cognition and performance in Spanish L2 oral tasks, and examines qualitatively the construct of task anxiety ...
