The neural correlates of speech motor sequence learning [PDF]
, 2015 Speech is perhaps the most sophisticated example of a species-wide movement capability in the animal kingdom, requiring split-second sequencing of approximately 100 muscles in the respiratory, laryngeal, and oral movement systems. Despite the unique role

Demystifying visual word form area visual and nonvisual response properties with precision fMRI
iScienceSummary: The visual word form area (VWFA) is a region in the left ventrotemporal cortex (VTC) whose specificity remains contentious. Using precision fMRI, we examine the VWFA’s responses to numerous visual and nonvisual stimuli, comparing them to ...

Dynamics of Multi-Sensory Tracking
i-Perception, 2011 These experiments examined the ability to track a moving target with our heads under various stimulus conditions and modalities. While previous studies [1,2] have concentrated on eye tracking within the frontal region; we extended the modes of tracking ...

Multiplexing of visual-auditory signals in a predominantly auditory brain region
Abstract A recently proposed theory of neural representation postulates that when more than one stimulus is to be encoded, neurons in that representation may fluctuate between encoding each item. To date, such work has considered only cases in which both stimuli are of the same sensory modality, such as how two sounds are encoded in an ...

Behavioral and subcortical signatures of musical expertise in Mandarin Chinese speakers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Both musical training and native language have been shown to have experience-based plastic effects on auditory processing. However, the combined effects within individuals are unclear.

Speaker Normalization Using Cortical Strip Maps: A Neural Model for Steady State Vowel Identification [PDF]
, 2007 Auditory signals of speech are speaker-dependent, but representations of language meaning are speaker-independent. Such a transformation enables speech to be understood from different speakers.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Previous studies indicate changes in neurotransmission along the auditory pathway in subjective tinnitus. Most authors, however, investigated brain regions including the primary auditory cortex, whose physiology can be affected by concurrent hearing ...

Representations of Pitch and Timbre Variation in Human Auditory Cortex
Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 Pitch and timbre are two primary dimensions of auditory perception, but how they are represented in the human brain remains a matter of contention. Some animal studies of auditory cortical processing have suggested modular processing, with different ...

Representing the egocentric auditory space: Relationships of surrounding region concepts
Acta Psychologica, 2013 We investigated the representation of azimuthal directions of sound sources under two different conditions. In the first experiment, we examined the participants' mental representation of sound source directions via similarity judgments. Auditory stimuli originating from sixteen loudspeakers positioned equidistantly around the participant were ...

A frequency-selective feedback model of auditory efferent suppression and its implications for the recognition of speech in noise [PDF]
, 2012 The potential contribution of the peripheral auditory efferent system to our understanding of speech in a background of competing noise was studied using a computer model of the auditory periphery and assessed using an automatic speech recognition system.
