Affective sounds are an integral part of the natural and social environment that shape and
influence behavior across a multitude of species. In human primates, these affective sounds …

A current view proposes that the right inferior frontal cortex (IFC) is particularly responsible
for attentive decoding and cognitive evaluation of emotional cues in human vocalizations …

Our vocal tone—the prosody—contributes a lot to the meaning of speech beyond the actual
words. Indeed, the hesitant tone of a" yes" may be more telling than its affirmative lexical …

This study used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to compare the time course of emotion
processing from non-linguistic vocalizations versus speech prosody, to test whether …

The primary aim of this viewpoint article is to examine recent literature on fetal and neonatal
processing of music. In particular, we examine the behavioral, neurophysiological, and …

The processing of emotional nonlinguistic information in speech is defined as emotional
prosody. This auditory nonlinguistic information is essential in the decoding of social …

Individual differences in second language (L2) aptitude have been assumed to depend
upon a variety of cognitive and personality factors. Especially, the cognitive factor …

We conducted a series of activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analyses to determine
the commonalities and distinctions between separate levels of emotion perception, namely …

Using the event-related potential (ERP) approach, we tracked the time-course of white
participants' empathic reactions to white (own-race) and black (other-race) faces displayed …

Neurobiological models of emotion focus traditionally on limbic/paralimbic regions as neural
substrates of emotion generation, and insular cortex (in conjunction with isocortical anterior …
