Six articles combining the study of bilinguals and neuroimaging techniques are discussed.
The objective is to seek for contributions from neuroimaging studies for the understanding of …

Given that nowadays more than half of the world's population is bilingual, the study of the
neural basis of bilingual language processing has become a relevant and founding topic in …

The Rodriguez-Fornells, Rotte, Heinze, Nösselt and Münte (2002) paper published in
Nature,“Brain potential and functional MRI evidence for how to handle two languages with …

Although considerable research has been devoted to language representation and
processing in monolinguals, rather less attention has been paid to language representation …

Does the brain of a bilingual process language differently from that of a monolingual? We
compared how bilinguals and monolinguals recruit classic language brain areas in …

Four studies were conducted examining language processing in bilinguals, those who use
two languages regularly. In three studies, language processing in bilinguals and …

A basic issue in the neuroscience of language is whether the neural representation of L2
converges with that of L1. In this chapter we review data from functional and structural …

Over the past decade, functional neuroimaging technologies such as positron emission
tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging have enabled neuroscientists to …

Fundamental breakthroughs in the neurosciences, combined with technical innovations for
measuring brain activity, are shedding new light on the neural basis of second language …

Bilingualism can serve both as a means for studying general cognitive and linguistic
processing and as an end in itself for understanding how the human brain accommodates …
