Spoken language exists because of a remarkable neural process. Inside a speaker's brain,
an intended message gives rise to neural signals activating the muscles of the vocal tract …

The timing of the first, and sometimes only, spike of auditory neurons evoked by an acoustic
stimulus depends on a variety of parameters. Recent studies have suggested that several of …

It is now well‐established that there is a causal connection between children's phonological
skills and their acquisition of reading and spelling. Here we study low‐level auditory …

Humans show a very robust ability to localize sounds in adverse conditions. Computational
models of binaural sound localization and technical approaches of direction-of-arrival (DOA) …

Synthetic speech has been widely used in the study of speech cues. A serious disadvantage
of this method is that it requires prior knowledge about the cues to be identified in order to …

]. The consonant scores in white noise can be categorized in three sets: low-error set
{/m/,/n/}⁠, average-error set {/p/,/t/,/k/,/s/,/ʃ/,/d/,/g/,/z/,/ʒ/}⁠, and high-error set …

Sensory systems must continuously adapt to optimally encode stimuli encountered within
the natural environment. The prevailing view is that such optimal coding comes at the cost of …

Low sensitivity to amplitude modulated (AM) sounds is reported to be associated with
dyslexia. An important aspect of amplitude modulation cycles are the rise and fall times …

Humans and animals constantly face challenging acoustic environments, such as various
background noises, that impair the detection, discrimination and identification of …

While the importance of phonological sensitivity for understanding reading acquisition and
impairment across orthographies is well documented, what underlies deficits in …
