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.

In: PLOS ONE, 2016, vol. 11, no. 1, p. e0146583

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)...

Screening for language disorders in stroke: german validation of the language screening test (last)

Koenig-Bruhin, M. ; Vanbellingen, Tim ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Pflugshaupt, T. ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Müri, René M. ; Bohlhalter, Stephan ; Nyffeler, Thomas

In: Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra, 2016, vol. 6, no. 1, p. 27–31

Background: Screening of aphasia in acute stroke is crucial for directing patients to early language therapy. The Language Screening Test (LAST), originally developed in French, is a validated language screening test that allows detection of a language deficit within a few minutes. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate two parallel German versions of the LAST. Methods: The...

The modulation of reading strategies by language opacity in early bilinguals: an eye movement study

De León Rodríguez, Diego ; Buetler, C,, Karin A. ; Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Preisig, Basil C. ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Laganaro, Marina ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Müri, René M.

In: Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016, vol. 19, no. 3, p. 567–577

Converging evidences from eye movement experiments indicate that linguistic contexts influence reading strategies. However, the question of whether different linguistic contexts modulate eye movements during reading in the same bilingual individuals remains unresolved. We examined reading strategies in a transparent (German) and an opaque (French) language of early, highly proficient...
