Perception & Psychophysics, 1982 Speech perception may be viewed as a phonetic categorization task in which the listener assigns incoming sounds to various phonetic categories. The present experiment tests two classes of models of phonetic categorization: (1) models in which the listener has a threshold or boundary between alternative categories vs.

Dynamic Neural Deactivation Bridges Direct and Competitive Inhibition Processes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Dynamic neural deactivation bridges traditionally distinct inhibitory mechanisms—direct inhibition and competition‐induced inhibition—revealing a common neural signature across modalities. Multimodal neuroimaging and behavioral experiments demonstrate a temporal dynamic characterized by progressive frontoparietal activation decay and enhanced sensory ...

Speech Recognition with Cochlea‐Inspired In‐Sensor Computing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Traditional speech recognition methods rely on software‐based feature extraction that introduces latency and high energy costs, making them unsuitable for low‐power devices. A proof‐of‐concept demonstration is provided of a bioinspired tonotopic sensor for speech recognition that mimics the human cochlea, using a spiral‐shaped elastic metamaterial. The

Right answers to wrong questions: The dysfunctional nature of information needs
Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.Abstract People frequently experience difficulties when seeking information to complete tasks. To overcome these difficulties, people require help. Regarding struggles with information needs, past research focuses on unclear information requests, such as ambiguous, under‐specified, and ill‐defined queries, and repairing these by user‐led strategies (e ...
