  Two studies (Golestani et al., 2007; Wong et al., 2008) have reported a positive correlation between the ability to perceive foreign speech sounds and the volume of Heschl's gyrus (HG), the structure that houses the auditory ...
• What do your eyes reveal about your foreign language? Reading emotional sentences in a native and foreign language

  Iacozza, Sara; Costa, Albert, 1970-; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)

  Foreign languages are often learned in emotionally neutral academic environments which differ greatly from the familiar context where native languages are acquired. This difference in learning contexts has been argued to ...
• Using a simple neural network to delineate some principles of distributed economic choice

  Balasubramani, Pragathi P.; Moreno Bote, Rubén; Hayden, Benjamin Y. (Frontiers, 2018)

  The brain uses a mixture of distributed and modular organization to perform computations and generate appropriate actions. While the principles under which the brain might perform computations using modular systems have ...
• Causal inference and explaining away in a spiking network

  Moreno Bote, Rubén; Drugowitsch, Jan (Nature Research, 2015)

  While the brain uses spiking neurons for communication, theoretical research on brain computations has mostly focused on non-spiking networks. The nature of spike-based algorithms that achieve complex computations, such ...
• Consonance processing in the absence of relevant experience: evidence from nonhuman animals

  Toro Soto, Juan Manuel, 1976-; Crespo Bojorque, Paola, 1985- (The Comparative Cognition Society, 2017)

  Consonance is a major feature in harmonic music that has been related to how pleasant a sound is perceived. Consonant chords are defined by simple frequency ratios between their composing tones, whereas dissonant chords ...
• Cognitive performance in healthy older adults relates to spontaneous switching between states of functional connectivity during rest

  Cabral, Joana R. B.; Vidaurre, Diego; Marques, Paulo; Magalhães, Ricardo; Moreira, Pedro Silva; Soares, José Miguel; Deco, Gustavo; Sousa, Nuno; Kringelbach, Morten L. (Nature Research, 2017)

  Growing evidence has shown that brain activity at rest slowly wanders through a repertoire of different states, where whole-brain functional connectivity (FC) temporarily settles into distinct FC patterns. Nevertheless, ...
• La interfaz estructura informativa-prosodia: el rol de la tematicidad jerárquica basado en un modelo empírico

  Domínguez Bajo, Mónica (Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN), 2019)

  Tesis doctoral en tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones realizada por Mónica Domínguez Bajo en la Universidad Pompeu Fabra bajo la dirección del Dr. Leo Wanner y la Dra. Mireia Farrús Cabecerán. El acto de ...
• Spatial gamut mapping among non-inclusive gamuts

  Bertalmío, Marcelo; Vazquez-Corral, Javier (Elsevier, 2018)

  Gamut mapping transforms the color gamut of an image to that of a target device. Two cases are usually considered: gamut reduction (target gamut smaller than source gamut), and gamut extension (target gamut larger than ...
• Extracting orthogonal subject- and condition-specific signatures from fMRI data using whole-brain effective connectivity

  Pallarés, Vicente; Insabato, Andrea; Sanjuán, Ana; Kühn, Simone; Mantini, Dante; Deco, Gustavo; Gilson, Matthieu (Elsevier, 2018)

  The study of brain communication based on fMRI data is often limited because such measurements are a mixture of session-to-session variability with subject- and condition-related information. Disentangling these contributions ...
• Whole-brain neuronal activity displays crackling noise dynamics

  Ponce-Alvarez, Adrián; Jouary, Adrien; Privat, Martin; Deco, Gustavo; Sumbre, Germán (Elsevier, 2018)

  Previous studies suggest that the brain operates at a critical point in which phases of order and disorder coexist, producing emergent patterned dynamics at all scales and optimizing several brain functions. Here, we ...
• Learning to combine complementary segmentation methods for fetal and 6-month infant brain MRI segmentation

  Piella Fenoy, Gemma; Sanromà, Gerard; Benkarim, Oualid M.; Piella Fenoy, Gemma; Lekadir, Karim; Hahner, Nadine; Eixarch, Elisenda; González Ballester, Miguel Ángel, 1973- (Elsevier, 2018)

  Segmentation of brain structures during the pre-natal and early post-natal periods is the first step for subsequent analysis of brain development. Segmentation techniques can be roughly divided into two families. The ...
• The Role of functional associations in building destination brand personality: when official websites do the talking

  Vinyals-Mirabent, Sara; Kavaratzis, Mihalis; Fernández Cavia, Josep, 1963- (Elsevier, 2019)

  Destinations ‘talk’ about themselves via online media to build strong brand personalities. However, previous research points to the influence of other associations linked to the destination in determining the credibility ...
• European urban destinations’ attractors at the frontier between competitiveness and a unique destination image: a benchmark study of communication practices

  Vinyals-Mirabent, Sara (Elsevier, 2019)

  The attractors of a destination are key elements of its appeal and play a vital role in the destination's success. Attractors such as architecture or culture have been identified as essential features of the destination's ...
• Breaking the state of the heart: meshless model for cardiac mechanics

  Lluch Alvarez, Èric; De Craene, Mathieu; Bijnens, Bart; Sermesant, Maxime; Noailly, Jérôme; Camara, Oscar; Morales, Hernán G. (Springer, 2019)

  Cardiac modeling has recently emerged as a promising tool to study pathophysiology mechanisms and to predict treatment outcomes for personalized clinical decision support. Nevertheless, achieving convergence under large ...
• A variational approach for the fusion of exposure bracketed pairs

  Bertalmío, Marcelo; Levine, Stacey (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)

  When taking pictures in a dark scene with artificial lighting, the ambient light is not sufficient for most cameras to obtain both accurate color and detail information. The exposure bracketing feature usually available ...
• An experimental comparison of audio tempo induction algorithms

  Gouyon, Fabien; Klapuri, Anssi; Dixon, Simon; Alonso, Miguel; Tzanetakis, George; Uhle, Christian; Cano Vila, Pedro (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)

  We report on the tempo induction contest organized during the International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR 2004) held at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2004. The goal of this ...
• Disorder and decision cost in spatial networks

  Zanin, Massimiliano; Buldú, Javier M.; Cano Vila, Pedro; Boccaletti, S. (AIP Publishing, 2008)
