- Associations between EEG power and coherence with cognition and early precursors of speech and language development across the first months of life (2024, background): “It has been proposed that the developmental trajectory of language, in which infants recognize the acoustic modulations of their native language at birth and then tune into language specific patterns towards the end of the first year of life, is limited by neuronal maturation [23].”
- Phonological acquisition depends on the timing of speech sounds: Deconvolution EEG modeling across the first five years (2023, unknown): “The progression of electro-physiological maturation from slow to fast is mirrored in language acquisition ( 14 ): From birth, newborns can track pitch modulations ( 32 ) and native prosody may be learned in the womb already ( 28 , 33 , 34 ), long before infants start building an inventory of native…”
- The developmental trajectory of functional excitation‐inhibition balance relates to language abilities in autistic and allistic children (2023, background): “…observed in individuals with autism, but it also lays a crucial foundation for future investigations within the broader domain of language acquisition, where the intricate interplay between EI balance and language development has received limited attention yet (also see Menn et al., 2023).”
- Neural correlates of processing case in adults and children. (2025, unknown): “This interpretation is supported by the slow maturation of the beta oscillations (Menn, M ¨ annel, & Meyer, 2023 ; Paulino et al., 2011) and of white matter fiber tracks (Skeide & Friederici, 2016).”
