Visual speech carried by lip movements is an integral part of communication. Yet, it remains
unclear in how far visual and acoustic speech comprehension are mediated by the same …

Speech is an intrinsically multisensory signal, and seeing the speaker's lips forms a
cornerstone of communication in acoustically impoverished environments. Still, it remains …

There is considerable debate over how visual speech is processed in the absence of sound
and whether neural activity supporting lipreading occurs in visual brain areas. Much of the …

Speech processing often occurs amid competing inputs from other modalities, for example,
listening to the radio while driving. We examined the extent to which dividing attention …

Emerging evidence from neuroimaging and neuropsychology suggests that human speech
comprehension engages two types of neurocognitive processes: a distributed bilateral …

There is considerable debate over how visual speech is processed in the absence of sound
and whether neural activity supporting lipreading occurs in visual brain areas. Surprisingly …

Visual speech (lip-reading) influences the perception of heard speech. The literature
suggests at least two possible mechanisms for this influence:“direct” sensory–sensory …

Speech perception in noisy environments is enhanced by seeing facial movements of
communication partners. However, the neural mechanisms by which audio and visual …

Comprehending speech involves the rapid and optimally efficient mapping from sound to
meaning. Influential cognitive models of spoken word recognition propose that the onset of a …

Action recognition has been found to rely not only on sensory brain areas but also partly on
the observer's motor system. However, whether distinct auditory and visual experiences of …
