Brain mechanisms of acoustic communication in humans and nonhuman primates: an evolutionary perspective
Any account of “what is special about the human brain”(Passingham 2008) must specify the
neural basis of our unique ability to produce speech and delineate how these remarkable …

Voluntary and involuntary processes affect the production of verbal and non-verbal signals by the human voice
C McGettigan, SK Scott - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2014 - search.proquest.com
We argue that a comprehensive model of human vocal behaviour must address both
voluntary and involuntary aspects of articulate speech and non-verbal vocalizations. Within …

Functional neuroimaging of human vocalizations and affective speech

[HTML][HTML] PHONATION TAKES PRECEDENCE IN DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE
DK Oller - The Behavioral and brain sciences, 2014 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Early development of vocalization in humans is characterized by emerging control of
phonation, rather than of prosody or supraglottal articulation. This fact offers an opportunity …
