On-line comprehension of natural speech requires segmenting the acoustic stream into
discrete linguistic elements. This process is argued to rely on theta-gamma oscillation …

Many environmental stimuli present a quasi-rhythmic structure at different timescales that the
brain needs to decompose and integrate. Cortical oscillations have been proposed as …

In order to learn an oral language, humans have to discover words from a continuous signal.
Streams of artificial monotonous speech can be readily segmented based on the statistical …

During speech listening, the brain could use contextual predictions to optimize sensory
sampling and processing. We asked if such predictive processing is organized dynamically …

Recent psychophysics data suggest that speech perception is not limited by the capacity of
the auditory system to encode fast acoustic variations through neural γ activity, but rather by …

Abstract Slow neural oscillations (~ 1–15 Hz) are thought to orchestrate the neural
processes of spoken language comprehension. However, functional subdivisions within this …

Recent hypotheses on the potential role of neuronal oscillations in speech perception
propose that speech is processed on multi-scale temporal analysis windows formed by a …

What is the neural representation of a speech code as it evolves in time? How do listeners
integrate temporally distributed phonemic information across hundreds of milliseconds, even …

The premise of this study is that current models of speech perception, which are driven by
acoustic features alone, are incomplete, and that the role of decoding time during memory …

A growing body of research suggests that intrinsic neuronal slow (< 10 Hz) oscillations in
auditory cortex appear to track incoming speech and other spectro-temporally complex …
