On his last day as Rector of the University of Zurich, the Neurolinguistics group thanks Prof. Dr. Michael Hengartner for his invaluable support and belief in our work! All the very best for the future at the ETH Rat! #uzhthankyoumichael

How does your brain keep your ears in synch? Answers in a new brain-stimulation fMRI paper by Basil Preisig 🇺🇦 (@[email protected]) Anne Kösem Benjamin Kop et al. Neuroling UZH University of Zurich out in PNAS today: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… Collaboration with MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics Donders Institute #CRNL Swiss National Science Foundation

How does literacy affect speech processing? Not by enhancing cortical responses to speech, but by promoting connectivity of acoustic-phonetic and graphomotor cortices. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How does literacy affect brain responses to speech? Being able to read Devanagari does not result in enhanced auditory cortical responses to speech. Time to reconsider conclusions drawn on the basis of alphabetic literacy? with Falk Huettig et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Such a pleasure to be a part of this research!

How does an infant develop an accent in utero? Thanks to an Swiss National Science Foundation project grant @Neuroslamlab, University of Zurich will be using in utero neuroimaging to look into this over the next three years, in collaboration with Tiny Human Brains, Volker Dellwo and Prof. Kathleen Wermke

🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨 We show that the perceptual report of syllables arises in higher-order non-auditory cortical areas. w/ Lars Riecke Neuroling UZH Thread ⬇️1/6

#JNeurosci: Hervais-Adelman et al. Universität Zürich found literate individuals, not illiterate individuals, exhibit a functional link between speech sound processing & handwriting, showing learning to write may influence how literate brains represent speech sounds. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
