The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

Does “the motor system” play “a role” in speech perception? If so, where, how, and when?
We conducted a systematic review that addresses these questions using both qualitative …

The fully updated eighth edition of Cognitive Psychology: A Student's Handbook provides
comprehensive yet accessible coverage of all the key areas in the field ranging from visual …

The conditions of everyday life are such that people often hear speech that has been
degraded (eg, by background noise or electronic transmission) or when they are distracted …

Although it is well accepted that the speech motor system (SMS) is activated during speech
perception, the functional role of this activation remains unclear. Here we test the hypothesis …

In the neuroscience of language, phonemes are frequently described as multimodal units
whose neuronal representations are distributed across perisylvian cortical regions, including …

This paper examines the questions, what levels of speech can be perceived visually, and
how is visual speech represented by the brain? Review of the literature leads to the …

How humans extract the identity of speech sounds from highly variable acoustic signals
remains unclear. Here, we use searchlight representational similarity analysis (RSA) to …

Seeing a speaker's face enhances speech intelligibility in adverse environments. We
investigated the underlying network mechanisms by quantifying local speech …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural basis of
comprehension and perceptual learning of artificially degraded [noise vocoded (NV)] …
