Vocal recordings of asymptomatic coronavirus patients reveal potential indicators of COVID-19 infection. Preliminary results hint at a biomarker in the vocal system coordination that can indicate the presence of COVID-19. Read More
Some words are far more memorable than others. Researchers discovered our memories are wired into neural networks that allow the brain to search for these memories, much like the way search engines track down relevant information. Read More
People with dyslexia experience difficulties when acoustic variation was added to speech sounds. In the absence of the variation, neural speech sound processing was consistent between dyslexic and typical readers. Difficulties in detecting linguistically relevant information during acoustic variation in speech may contribute to a dyslexic person's deficits in forming native language phoneme representations during infancy.

Research suggests a time-locked encoding mechanism may have evolved for speech processing in humans. The processing mechanism appears to be tuned to the native language as a result of extensive exposure to the language environment during early development. Read More
The human brain avoids taking unnecessary effort while reading by regulating the resources used in order to identify the most essential information. Read More

A new study reports bilingualism may have a positive effect on brain aging, specifically when it comes to executive function. The findings of this study contradict other research, suggesting bilingualism does have a protective effect against cognitive decline in aging. Read More
EEG study reveals both hearing people and deaf signer language users showed a common neural mechanism when it came to language errors. Read More
A structural brain scaffold in infants serves as a foundation for literacy. Language and reading may refine this pre-existing brain scaffold. The study also reveals robust language networks activate while children sleep if stories are read to them during slumber. Read More
Children exposed to SSRI antidepressants in utero had an increased risk of experiencing language and cognitive deficits in kindergarten. Read More
Speaking more than one language does not improve a person's general mental ability. However, while there is no cognitive advantage to being bilingual, there are broader social and lifestyle benefits that come from speaking multiple languages. Read More
