Most previous studies in psycholinguistics investigating whether bilingual lexical access is non-selective have employed experimental tasks which require the bilingual participant to explicitly activate their two languages or routinely switch between the two. The present study examines bilingual lexical processing through a semantic association task which includes stimuli in only one language and therefore avoids creating an artificial bilingual context. The bilingual participants were unconscious of a hidden character repetition when the English words are translated into their native language, Korean. Results showed significant interference effects of the hidden character repetition in the behavioral data reflected as both longer response times and higher error rates. These findings support and extend the findings of previous studies showing significant ERP modulations due to implicit activation of the first language and suggest that bilingual lexical processing is nonselective: bilingual speakers unconsciously and automatically activate their native language when reading words in their second language.

Electrical activity of the brain is the basis of our understanding of neurophysiology. Electrical signals in the form of action potentials propagate along axons and are relayed via synaptic connections between neurons. Neuronal cytoskeleton is constructed from parallel bundles of microtubules interconnected by microtubule associated proteins (MAPs). In this paper we provide an overview of the electrical properties of microtubules and actin filaments which act as bioelectric circuits. It is well known that impairment of neuronal cytoskeleton results in various neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, it stands to reason that these electrical properties of neuronal cytoskeleton are of critical importance to our understanding of consciousness as an emergent property. This short paper provides an overview of this issue. In this brief document, we give a high level overview and relevant references that form the basis for the arguments implicating neuronal cytoskeleton’s electric conduction and signaling in the cognitive functions of the human brain. A recently published book, which is a collection of Journal of Cognitive Science 19-2:109-114, 2018 c2018 Institute for Cognitive Science, Seoul National University 110 Jack A. Tuszyński contributed chapters on the topic of the biophysics of consciousness is an excellent source of detailed information on this topic. In earlier work, computational and theoretical modeling was performed at both atomistic and coarse-grained levels in order to gain insight into electrostatic and electro-conductive properties of the cytoskeleton. Specifically, computer simulations corroborated some very intriguing experimental measurements carried out for actin filaments and microtubules. In the case of actin filaments, it was shown that they propagate ionic pulses in a lossless fashion consistent with a solitonic model of wave propagation in nonlinear systems. In the case of microtubules (MTs), the unusual behavior of ionic conductions along their lengths exhibited amplification effects that are comparable to the behavior of a transistor. Continuum approximations for cable equations describing actin filaments and microtubules were derived and their analytical solutions compare favorably to measurements in buffer solutions showing these nonlinear waves of ionic signals. More recent measurements of the changes in conductivity and capacitance of buffer solutions containing ensembles of microtubules supported these intriguing results and also provided estimates of the conductivity of individual microtubules. They showed that a dramatic change in conductivity occurs when tubulin forms microtubules with unpolymerized tubulin lowering the conductivity of the systems while microtubules significantly increasing it. In living cells, this intra-cellular reorganization taking place in the cytoskeleton signals a conductive phase transition coinciding with mitosis in dividing cells.
