Prediction Errors but Not Sharpened Signals Simulate Multivoxel fMRI Patterns during Speech Perception

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2016
Successful perception depends on combining sensory input with prior knowledge. However, the underlying mechanism by which these two sources of information are combined is unknown.

Does training with amplitude modulated tones affect tone-vocoded speech perception? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Temporal-envelope cues are essential for successful speech perception. We asked here whether training on stimuli containing temporal-envelope cues without speech content can improve the perception of spectrally-degraded (vocoded) speech in which the ...

Hebrew Digits in Noise (DIN) Test in Cochlear Implant Users and Normal Hearing Listeners

open access: yesAudiology Research
This study aimed to compare the Hebrew version of the digits-in-noise (DIN) thresholds among cochlear implant (CI) users and their normal-hearing (NH) counterparts, explore the influence of age on these thresholds, examine the effects of early auditory ...

On what we experience when we hear people speak [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
According to perceptualism, fluent comprehension of speech is a perceptual achievement, in as much as it is akin to such high-level perceptual states as the perception of objects as cups or trees, or of people as happy or sad.

Brain Feedback and Adaptive Resonance in Speech Perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The brain contains ubiquitous reciprocal bottom-up and top-down intercortical and thalamocortical pathways. These resonating feedback pathways may be essential for stable learning of speech and language codes and for context-sensitive selection and ...

Is the Sensorimotor Cortex Relevant for Speech Perception and Understanding? An Integrative Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
In the neuroscience of language, phonemes are frequently described as multimodal units whose neuronal representations are distributed across perisylvian cortical regions, including auditory and sensorimotor areas.

Short-and medium-term plasticity for speaker adaptation seem to be independent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The author wishes to thank James McQueen and Elizabeth Johnson for comments made on an earlier drafts of this paper.In a classic paper, Ladefoged and Broadbent [1] showed that listeners adapt to speakers based on short-term exposure of a single ...

Increased activity in frontal motor cortex compensates impaired speech perception in older adults

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Understanding speech in noisy environments is challenging, especially for seniors. Although evidence suggests that older adults increasingly recruit prefrontal cortices to offset reduced periphery and central auditory processing, the brain mechanisms ...

Cochlear Implantation in Patients with Mitochondrial Gene Mutation: Decline in Speech Perception in Retrospective Long-Term Follow-Up Study

open access: yesLife, 2022
Clinical evidence of the effectiveness of cochlear implantation for hearing loss with mitochondrial DNA mutation is limited. Most reports have only described short-term postoperative speech perception, which may not reflect the limitations of cochlear ...

The relationship of phonological ability, speech perception, and auditory perception in adults with dyslexia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study investigated whether auditory, speech perception and phonological skills are tightly interrelated or independently contributing to reading. We assessed each of these three skills in 36 adults with a past diagnosis of dyslexia and 54 matched ...
