Young infants discriminate phonetically relevant speech contrasts in a universal manner,
that is, similarly across languages. This ability fades by 12 months of age as the brain builds …

EEG is a primary method for studying temporally precise neuronal processes across the
lifespan. Most of this work focuses on event related potentials (ERPs); however, using time …

Understanding the neural processes underpinning individual differences in early language
development is of increasing interest, as it is known to vary in typical development and to be …

Neural auditory processing and prelinguistic communication build the foundation for later
language development, but how these two are associated is not well known. The current …

Abstract Gamma band activity (30–50 Hz) plays an essential role in brain development and
function, but neither the early postnatal development nor subject and environmental factors …

Given the importance of gamma oscillations in normal and disturbed cognition, there has
been growing interest in their developmental trajectory. In the current study, age-related …

Language is the most important faculty that distinguishes humans from other animals. Infants
learn their native language fast and effortlessly during the first years of life, as a function of …

Associations have been observed between socioeconomic status (SES) and language
outcomes from early childhood, but individual variability is high. Exposure to high levels of …

The development of speech perception shows a dramatic transition between infancy and
adulthood. Between 6 and 12 months, infants' initial ability to discriminate all phonetic units …

Atypical phase alignment of low-frequency neural oscillations to speech rhythm has been
implicated in phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia. Atypical phase alignment to …
