Wavelet-based motion artifact removal for functional near-infrared spectroscopy (2012, methodology): “This includes detection and removal of contaminated block by detecting rapid changes in the total hemoglobin concentration in the time domain (Peña et al 2003, Gervain et al 2008), use of negative correlation between hemoglobin species to detect motion artifacts (Cui et al 2010) and multidistance…”
A brief review on the history of human functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) development and fields of application (2012, neutral): “Specifically, Mehler's group in Trieste (Italy) investigated language recognition at birth (Peña et al., 2003), and Taga's group in Tokyo studied the response of the occipital cortex to brief changes in the luminance contrast of visual stimulation (Taga et al., 2003).”
Diffuse optical imaging of brain activation: approaches to optimizing image sensitivity, resolution, and accuracy. (2004, background): “…of these systemic signals can be as large as 10%, compared with brain activation signals which are rarely larger than 5% for a strong finger-tapping stimulus and typically much smaller for most other stimuli (Chance et al., 1993; Franceschini et al., 2003; Kennan et al., 2002; Pena et al., 2003).”
Rapid automatized naming (RAN) and reading fluency: implications for understanding and treatment of reading disabilities. (2012, background): “Certain brain areas are activated in response to the sounds and structure of language from infancy (Minagawa-Kawai et al. 2011, Peña et al. 2003).”
The Infant's Auditory World: Hearing, Speech, and the Beginnings of Language (2007, methodology): “Using both optical topography (Pena et al., 2003), and fMRI (Dehaene-Lambertz, Dehaene, & Hertz-Panier, 2002), speech stimuli elicited greater activation in the infants’ LH than the RH.”
A NIRS-fMRI investigation of prefrontal cortex activity during a working memory task (2013, positive): “For example, its imposition of fewer body constraints facilitates measurement of the infant brain (Homae et al., 2010; Minagawa-Kawai et al., 2011; Pena et al., 2003; Sato et al., 2012; Taga et al., 2003) and of activations during”
Infant's brain responses to live and televised action (2006, methodology): “NIRS is a recently developed noninvasive neuroimaging technique, which is currently the only feasible method for measuring hemodynamic responses in awake infants under naturalistic settings, and its validity has been substantially confirmed (Baird et al., 2002; Miyai et al., 2001; Pena et al., 2003;”
Speech perception as a window for understanding plasticity and commitment in language systems of the brain. (2005, result): “Moreover, in some studies, the LHA is even seen with very young infants (e.g., Dehaene-Lambertz & Baillet, 1998; also see Dehaene- Lamberts, Dehaene, & Hertz-Pannier, 2002, and Peña et al., 2003, for recent neuroimaging studies showing an LHA for other aspects of language processing).”
The faculty of language: what's special about it? (2005, background): “This question embraces a number of more specific ones ( Osherson & Wasow, 1976 ).”
Perceptual beginnings to language acquisition (2018, neutral): “…Dehaene, & Hertz-Pannier, 2002; May, Byers-Heinlein, Gervain, & Werker, 2011; May, Gervain, Carreiras, & Werker, 2017; Minagawa-Kawai et al., 2011; Peña et al., 2003), with some support for greater involvement of the left hemisphere (Dehaene-Lambertz, 2000; Peña et al., 2003; Perani et al., 2011).”
Critical period regulation. (2004, background): “Full-term neonates already exhibit left-hemisphere dominance (by optical topography) for normal speech (Pena et al. 2003) and segregate concurrent streams of sound (as detected by electrical mismatch negativity, MMN) like adults (Winkler et al. 2003).”
Recognizing Communicative Intentions in Infancy (2010, background): “Newborns discriminate between speech and non-speech stimuli, and are biased towards speech (Vouloumanos and Werker, 2007), and this discrimination is subserved by dedicated cortical structures (Peña et al., 2003).”
