Hearing Impairment and Communication

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.

The impact of language proficiency on task-dependent neural activity and functional connectivity: Insights from deafness

This study examines how language proficiency affects neural activity and functional connectivity in deaf adults during cognitive tasks, finding positive correlations with task-positive network activity.

Seeing speech: neural mechanisms of cued speech perception in prelingually deaf and hearing users

This study investigates brain regions involved in cued speech perception in deaf and hearing users, identifying differences in neural activation patterns between experts and novices.

Multilevel Modelling of Gaze from Hearing-impaired Listeners following a Realistic Conversation

This study uses multilevel logistic regression to analyze eye-gaze patterns of hearing-impaired listeners during conversation transitions, finding that gaze towards a new talker follows an s-shaped curve over time.

Sensorimotor characteristics of sign translations modulate EEG when deaf signers read English

The paper shows that deaf signers' EEG responses differ when reading English words with ASL translations requiring one vs. two hands, indicating sensorimotor system involvement in cross-linguistic translation.
