    Comprehension of co-speech gestures in aphasic patients: an eye movement study

    Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Preisig, Basil C. ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Hopfner, Simone ; Vanbellingen, Tim ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Gutbrod, Klemens ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Bohlhalter, Stephan ; Cazzoli, Dario ; Müri, René M.

    Co-speech gestures are omnipresent and a crucial element of human interaction by facilitating language comprehension. However, it is unclear whether gestures also support language comprehension in aphasic patients. Using visual exploration behavior analysis, the present study aimed to investigate the influence of congruence between speech and co-speech gestures on comprehension in terms of...

    Effects of continuous theta burst stimulation over the left DLPFC on mother tongue and second language production in late bilinguals: a behavioral and ERP study

    Jost, Lea B. ; Pestalozzi, Maria I. ; Cazzoli, Dario ; Mouthon, Michael ; Müri, René M. ; Annoni, Jean‑Marie

    In: Brain Topography, 2020, vol. 33, no. 4, p. 504–518

    Clinical, neuroimaging, and non-invasive brain stimulation studies have associated the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with the multilingual language control system. Here, we investigated if this role is increased during the processing of the non- dominant language due to the higher cognitive/attentional demands. We used an inhibitory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)...

    Eye gaze behavior at turn transition: how aphasic patients process speakers’ turns during video observation

    Preisig, Basil C. ; Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Zito, Giuseppe ; Vanbellingen, Tim ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Hopfner, Simone ; Gutbrod, Klemens ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Cazzoli, Dario ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Bohlhalter, Stephan ; Müri, René M.

    In: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2016, vol. 28, no. 10, p. 1613–1624

    The human turn-taking system regulates the smooth and precise exchange of speaking turns during face-to-face interaction. Recent studies investigated the processing of ongoing turns during conversation by measuring the eye movements of noninvolved observers. The findings suggest that humans shift their gaze in anticipation to the next speaker before the start of the next turn. Moreover, there...

    Multimodal communication in aphasia: perception and production of co-speech gestures during face-to-face conversation

    Preisig, Basil C. ; Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Cazzoli, Dario ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Gutbrod, Klemens ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Meichtry, Jurka R. ; Nef, Tobias ; Müri, René M.

    In: Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018, vol. 12, p. -

    The role of nonverbal communication in patients with post-stroke language impairment (aphasia) is not yet fully understood. This study investigated how aphasic patients perceive and produce co-speech gestures during face-to-face interaction, and whether distinct brain lesions would predict the frequency of spontaneous co-speech gesturing. For this purpose, we recorded samples of conversations...
