Gesture facilitates the syntactic analysis of speech (2012)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Obermeier, C., Schmidt-Kassow, M., Friederici, A. D., Ward, J., & Gunter, T. C. (2012). Gesture facilitates the syntactic analysis of speech. Frontiers in Psychology, 3(MAR), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00074

Recent research suggests that the brain routinely binds together information from gesture and speech. However, most of this research focused on the integration of representational gestures with the semantic content of speech. Much less is known about...

Proprioceptive drift without illusions of ownership for rotated hands in the "rubber hand illusion" paradigm (2011)
Journal Article
Holle, H., McLatchie, N., Maurer, S., & Ward, J. (2011). Proprioceptive drift without illusions of ownership for rotated hands in the "rubber hand illusion" paradigm. Cognitive neuroscience, 2(3-4), 171-178. https://doi.org/10.1080/17588928.2011.603828

The rubber hand illusion is one reliable way to experimentally manipulate the experience of body ownership. However, debate continues about the necessary and sufficient conditions eliciting the illusion. We measured proprioceptive drift and the subje...

Imitation and observational learning of hand actions: prefrontal involvement and connectivity (2011)
Journal Article
Higuchi, S., Holle, H., Roberts, N., Eickhoff, S. B., & Vogt, S. (2012). Imitation and observational learning of hand actions: prefrontal involvement and connectivity. NeuroImage, 59(2), 1668-1683. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.09.021

The first aim of this event-related fMRI study was to identify the neural circuits involved in imitation learning. We used a rapid imitation task where participants directly imitated pictures of guitar chords. The results provide clear evidence for t...

What iconic gesture fragments reveal about gesture-speech integration: when synchrony is lost, memory can help. (2011)
Journal Article
Obermeier, C., Gunter, T. C., & Holle, H. (2011). What iconic gesture fragments reveal about gesture-speech integration: when synchrony is lost, memory can help. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 23(7), 1648-1663. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2010.21498

The present series of experiments explores several issues related to gesture-speech integration and synchrony during sentence processing. To be able to more precisely manipulate gesture-speech synchrony, we used gesture fragments instead of complete...

That's not a real body: identifying stimulus qualities that modulate synaesthetic experiences of touch (2011)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Banissy, M., Wright, T., Bowling, N., & Ward, J. (2011). That's not a real body: identifying stimulus qualities that modulate synaesthetic experiences of touch. Consciousness and cognition, 20(3), 720-726. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2010.12.002

Mirror-touch synaesthesia is a condition where observing touch to another's body induces a subjective tactile sensation on the synaesthetes body. The present study explores which characteristics of the inducing stimulus modulate the synaesthetic touc...

The time course of lexical access in morphologically complex words (2010)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Gunter, T. C., & Koester, D. (2010). The time course of lexical access in morphologically complex words. NeuroReport, 21(5), 319-323. https://doi.org/10.1097/WNR.0b013e328335b3e0

Compounding, the concatenation of words (e.g. dishwasher), is an important mechanism across many languages. This study investigated whether access of initial compound constituents occurs immediately or, alternatively, whether it is delayed until the...

Integration of iconic gestures and speech in left superior temporal areas boosts speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions (2010)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Obleser, J., Rueschemeyer, S., & Gunter, T. C. (2010). Integration of iconic gestures and speech in left superior temporal areas boosts speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions. NeuroImage, 49(1), 875-884. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.08.058

Iconic gestures are spontaneous hand movements that illustrate certain contents of speech and, as such, are an important part of face-to-face communication. This experiment targets the brain bases of how iconic gestures and speech are integrated duri...

Electrophysiological evidence for incremental lexical-semantic integration in auditory compound comprehension (2009)
Journal Article
Koester, D., Holle, H., & Gunter, T. C. (2009). Electrophysiological evidence for incremental lexical-semantic integration in auditory compound comprehension. Neuropsychologia, 47(8-9), 1854-1864. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.02.027

The present study investigated the time-course of semantic integration in auditory compound word processing. Compounding is a productive mechanism of word formation that is used frequently in many languages. Specifically, we examined whether semantic...

Neural correlates of the processing of co-speech gestures (2007)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Gunter, T. C., Rüschemeyer, S., Hennenlotter, A., & Iacoboni, M. (2008). Neural correlates of the processing of co-speech gestures. NeuroImage, 39(4), 2010-2024. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2007.10.055

In communicative situations, speech is often accompanied by gestures. For example, speakers tend to illustrate certain contents of speech by means of iconic gestures which are hand movements that bear a formal relationship to the contents of speech....

The role of iconic gestures in speech disambiguation: ERP evidence (2007)
Journal Article
Holle, H., & Gunter, T. C. (2007). The role of iconic gestures in speech disambiguation: ERP evidence. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 19(7), 1175-1192. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2007.19.7.1175

The present series of experiments explored the extent to which iconic gestures convey information not found in speech. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded as participants watched videos of a person gesturing and speaking simultaneously. The exper...
