Talking Brains: Neonatal Aperiodic Activity in Resting State EEG Relates to Later Communicative Abilities

This study finds that neonatal resting-state EEG aperiodic activity relates to 12-month communicative abilities in typically developing infants, showing an inverted U-shaped relationship.

Consistency of Sign Language Movement Expression among Proficient and Student Signers

This study assesses movement consistency in sign language production across proficiency levels using kinematic and EMG features to establish reliability metrics for linguistic analysis.

From Variability to Synchrony: Non-linear Development of Auditory Neural Responses During the First Year of Life

This study tracks auditory neural development in infants using hdEEG, showing increased neural synchrony and reduced variability over the first year, with a nonlinear pattern of phase synchronization.

Fetal Dehydroepiandrosterone from Hair Samples at Birth Predicts Language Development

This study finds that fetal DHEA levels measured in newborn hair predict lower language scores at six months, while testosterone and cognitive abilities are not associated.

Neural speech tracking in newborns: prenatal learning and contributing factors

The paper investigates prenatal language learning in newborns using EEG, finding evidence of discrimination between familiar and unfamiliar rhymes, prosodic learning, and correlations between maternal depression, fetal stress, and later language development.

Looking forward does not mean forgetting about the past: ERP evidence for the interplay of predictive coding and interference during language processing

The paper investigates how interference and prediction interact during language processing using ERP data, finding that interference effects depend on predictability.
