Journal ArticleDOI
The Motor Somatotopy of Speech Perception
Alessandro D'Ausilio,Friedemann Pulvermüller,Paola Salmas,Ilaria Bufalari,Chiara Begliomini,Luciano Fadiga,Luciano Fadiga +6 more
TL;DR: A neurofunctional double dissociation is found in speech sound discrimination, supporting the idea that motor structures provide a specific functional contribution to the perception of speech sounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arduino: a low-cost multipurpose lab equipment.
TL;DR: Accuracy tests show that Arduino boards may be an inexpensive tool for many psychological and neurophysiological labs and may be useful in many lab environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broca's Area in Language, Action, and Music
TL;DR: Current research showing that the inferior frontal gyrus and the ventral premotor cortex are activated for tasks other than language production is reviewed and it is proposed that these areas are tuned to detect and represent complex hierarchical dependencies, regardless of modality and use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encoding of human action in Broca's area.

TL;DR: This study provides a demonstration that frontal aphasics, not affected by apraxia, are specifically impaired in their capability to correctly encode observed human actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-modal plasticity of the motor cortex while listening to a rehearsed musical piece.
Alessandro D'Ausilio,Alessandro D'Ausilio,Alessandro D'Ausilio,Eckart Altenmüller,M. Olivetti Belardinelli,M. Olivetti Belardinelli,Martin Lotze +6 more
TL;DR: Trans transcranial magnetic stimulation of the cortical motor representation involved in musical performance was used to test excitability changes in piano players during auditory presentation of a rehearsed and a non‐rehearsed piece and showed an increased motor excitability for the rehearsed but not for the non-reheARSed piece.
