Brain activation for language and its relationship to cognitive and linguistic measures

Irene Balboni, Alessandra Rampinini, Olga Kepinska, Raphael Berthelé, Narly Golestani

The paper investigates brain-behavioural associations between language and cognitive skills using fMRI and behavioural measures, finding shared neural networks for linguistic and domain-general functions.

NEBULA101: an open dataset for the study of language aptitude in behaviour, brain structure and function

Alessandra Rampinini, Irene Balboni, Olga Kepinska, Raphael Berthelé, Narly Golestani

The paper introduces NEBULA101, a dataset combining brain imaging and behavioural data from 101 adults to study language aptitude and individual differences in cognition.

Common spatiotemporal processing of visual features shapes object representation

Paolo Papale, Monica Betta, Giacomo Handjaras, Giulia Malfatti, Luca Cecchetti, Alessandra Rampinini, Pietro Pietrini, Emiliano Ricciardi, Luca Turella, Andrea Leo

The paper shows that low-level visual features, shape, and category are processed in overlapping spatial locations early in time, suggesting parallel computations in visual processing.
