Disruption of Early or Late Epochs of Auditory Cortical Activity Impairs Speech Discrimination in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Speech evokes robust activity in auditory cortex, which contains information over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. It remains unclear which components of these neural representations are causally involved in the perception and processing of ...

Consonance in the carillon

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Recent research has confirmed that musical consonance is not only determined by the frequency ratios between tones, but also by the frequency spectra of the underlying tones (Marjieh et al., 2024). However, this prior research was limited to artificial tones, specifically tones built from a small number of pure tones, producing sounds that do not match

Contributions of cochlea-scaled entropy and consonant-vowel boundaries to prediction of speech intelligibility in noise.

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012
Recent evidence suggests that spectral change, as measured by cochlea-scaled entropy (CSE), predicts speech intelligibility better than the information carried by vowels or consonants in sentences.

Contributions of temporal encodings of voicing, voicelessness, fundamental frequency, and amplitude variation to audiovisual and auditory speech perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Auditory and audio-visual speech perception was investigated using auditory signals of invariant spectral envelope that temporally encoded the presence of voiced and voiceless excitation, variations in amplitude envelope and F-0.

The relative importance of consonant and vowel segments to the recognition of words and sentences: effects of age and hearing loss.

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012
This study investigated the ability to use cues contained within vowel and consonant segments by older listeners with normal or impaired hearing. Spectral shaping restored audibility for the hearing-impaired group.

Combining transient dynamics and logistic‐asymptotic growth to study the recovery of two seabird populations after rat eradication

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

Blocking of word-boundary consonant lengthening in Sienese Italian [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper examines an aspect of Raddoppiamento sintattico (RS), the lengthening of word-initial consonants following certain words e.g. tre [mm]ele ‘three apples’ in Italian. Most phonological accounts claim the phenomenon is predictable and obligatory (
