Speech Neurophysiology in Realistic Contexts: Big Hype or Big Leap?
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 12, June 2026.Speech neurophysiology is moving from controlled listening tasks to dynamic, socially rich interactions, challenging traditional methods. This shift promises deeper insights into how the brain processes and represents speech in real‐world contexts, while introducing new analytical complexities.
