The advent of functional neuroimaging has allowed tremendous advances in our
understanding of brain–language relationships, in addition to generating substantial …

Vocal perception is particularly important for understanding a speaker's emotional state and
intentions because, unlike facial perception, it is relatively independent of speaker distance …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

We used the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method to quantitatively synthesize data
from 19 published brain mapping studies of phonological processing in reading, six with …

Neurofeedback of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to acquire
selective control over activation in circumscribed brain areas, potentially inducing behavioral …

In social interactions, humans can express how they feel in what (verbal) they say and how
(non‐verbal) they say it. Although decoding of vocal emotion expressions occurs rapidly …

Prosody refers to the melodic and rhythmic aspects of speech. Two forms of prosody are
typically distinguished:'affective prosody'refers to the expression of emotion in speech …

All primates vocalize on an expiratory airflow and they make use of the oscillation of the
vocal folds to generate sounds. The acoustic correlate of the rate of vibration is the …

Hemispheric contributions to the processing of emotional speech prosody were investigated
by comparing adults with a focal lesion involving the right (n= 9) or left (n= 11) hemisphere …

The left hemisphere specialization for speech perception might arise from asymmetries at
more basic levels of auditory processing. In particular, it has been suggested that differences …
