Seeing is believing: neural representations of visual stimuli in human auditory cortex correlate with illusory auditory perceptions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In interpersonal communication, the listener can often see as well as hear the speaker. Visual stimuli can subtly change a listener's auditory perception, as in the McGurk illusion, in which perception of a phoneme's auditory identity is changed by a ...

Slow update of internal representations impedes synchronization in autism
Nature Communications, 2021 Autism is characterized by diverse symptoms, including impaired social skills, motor and perceptual atypicalities. Here, using computational modelling, the authors show that impaired synchronization ability in autism stems from reduced error correction ...

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users
South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996 The considerable variability in speech perception performance among cochlear implant patients makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different speech processing strategies. One result is that optimal individualized processor parameter setting

Frontal top-down signals increase coupling of auditory low-frequency oscillations to continuous speech in human listeners [PDF]
, 2015 Humans show a remarkable ability to understand continuous speech even under adverse listening conditions. This ability critically relies on dynamically updated predictions of incoming sensory information, but exactly how top-down predictions improve ...
