Can hyper-synchrony in meditation lead to seizures? Similarities in meditative and epileptic brain states (2014)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S. (2014). Can hyper-synchrony in meditation lead to seizures? Similarities in meditative and epileptic brain states. Medical hypotheses, 83(4), 465-472. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2014.07.015

Meditation is used worldwide by millions of people for relaxation and stress relief. Given sufficient practice, meditators may also experience a variety of altered states of consciousness. These states can lead to a variety of unusual experiences, in... Read More about Can hyper-synchrony in meditation lead to seizures? Similarities in meditative and epileptic brain states.

A prerequisite to L1 homophone effects in L2 spoken-word recognition (2014)
Journal Article
Nakai, S., Lindsay, S., & Ota, M. (2015). A prerequisite to L1 homophone effects in L2 spoken-word recognition. Second Language Research, 31(1), 29-52. https://doi.org/10.1177/0267658314534661

© The Author(s) 2014. When both members of a phonemic contrast in L2 (second language) are perceptually mapped to a single phoneme in one’s L1 (first language), L2 words containing a member of that contrast can spuriously activate L2 words in spoken-...

Sleep underpins the plasticity of language production (2014)
Journal Article
Gaskell, M. G., Warker, J., Lindsay, S., Frost, R., Guest, J., Snowdon, R., & Stackhouse, A. (2014). Sleep underpins the plasticity of language production. Psychological science : a journal of the American Psychological Society / APS, 25(7), 1457-1465. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797614535937

The constraints that govern acceptable phoneme combinations in speech perception and production have considerable plasticity. We addressed whether sleep influences the acquisition of new constraints and their integration into the speech-production sy... Read More about Sleep underpins the plasticity of language production.

The selective role of premotor cortex in speech perception: A contribution to phoneme judgements but not speech comprehension (2013)
Journal Article
Krieger-Redwood, K., Gareth Gaskell, M., Lindsay, S., & Jefferies, E. (2013). The selective role of premotor cortex in speech perception: A contribution to phoneme judgements but not speech comprehension. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 25(12), 2179-2188. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_00463

Several accounts of speech perception propose that the areas involved in producing language are also involved in perceiving it. In line with this view, neuroimaging studies show activation of premotor cortex (PMC) during phoneme judgment tasks; howev...

Lexical integration of novel words without sleep (2013)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., & Gareth Gaskell, M. (2013). Lexical integration of novel words without sleep. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 39(2), 608-622. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0029243

Learning a new word involves integration with existing lexical knowledge. Previous work has shown that sleep-associated memory consolidation processes are important for the engagement of novel items in lexical competition. In 3 experiments we used sp...

To Dash or to Dawdle: Verb-Associated Speed of Motion Influences Eye Movements during Spoken Sentence Comprehension (2013)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., Scheepers, C., & Kamide, Y. (2013). To Dash or to Dawdle: Verb-Associated Speed of Motion Influences Eye Movements during Spoken Sentence Comprehension. PLoS ONE, 8(6), Article e67187. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0067187

In describing motion events verbs of manner provide information about the speed of agents or objects in those events. We used eye tracking to investigate how inferences about this verb-associated speed of motion would influence the time course of att...

Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation (2011)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., Sedin, L. M., & Gaskell, M. G. (2012). Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation. Journal of Memory and Language, 66(1), 210-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2011.07.005

Two experiments addressed how novel verbs come to be represented in the auditory input lexicon, and how the inflected forms of such novel words are acquired and recognised. Participants were introduced to new spoken forms as uninflected verbs. These... Read More about Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation.

A complementary systems account of word learning in L1 and L2 (2010)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., & Gaskell, M. G. (2010). A complementary systems account of word learning in L1 and L2. Language Learning, 60(SUPPL. 2), 45-63. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9922.2010.00600.x

We review a body of behavioral and neuroimaging research relating to the acquisition and integration of novel words. An important outcome from this research is that different aspects of knowledge associated with learning a new word become established...
