Understanding voice perception
Voices carry large amounts of socially relevant information on persons, much like 'auditory
faces'. Following Bruce and Young (1986)'s seminal model of face perception, we propose …

A unified coding strategy for processing faces and voices
Both faces and voices are rich in socially-relevant information, which humans are
remarkably adept at extracting, including a person's identity, age, gender, affective state …

Crossmodal semantic priming by naturalistic sounds and spoken words enhances visual sensitivity.
We propose a multisensory framework based on Glaser and Glaser's (1989) general
reading-naming interference model to account for the semantic priming effect by naturalistic …

Looming signals reveal synergistic principles of multisensory integration
Multisensory interactions are a fundamental feature of brain organization. Principles
governing multisensory processing have been established by varying stimulus location …

Automatic phoneme category selectivity in the dorsal auditory stream
Debates about motor theories of speech perception have recently been reignited by a burst
of reports implicating premotor cortex (PMC) in speech perception. Often, however, these …

[HTML][HTML] Nonverbal auditory communication–evidence for integrated neural systems for voice signal production and perception
S Frühholz, SR Schweinberger - Progress in Neurobiology, 2021 - Elsevier
While humans have developed a sophisticated and unique system of verbal auditory
communication, they also share a more common and evolutionarily important nonverbal …

Abstract encoding of auditory objects in cortical activity patterns
The human brain is thought to process auditory objects along a hierarchical temporal “what”
stream that progressively abstracts object information from the low-level structure (eg …

Language distance modulates cognitive control in bilinguals
Linguistic processes in the bilingual brain are partially shared across languages, and the
degree of neural overlap between the languages is influenced by several factors, including …
