Predictive coding is an increasingly influential and ambitious concept in neuroscience
viewing the brain as a 'hypothesis testing machine'that constantly strives to minimize …

Verbal communication does not rely only on the simple perception of auditory signals. It is
rather a parallel and integrative processing of linguistic and non-linguistic information …

Objectives: Despite previous lesional and functional neuroimaging studies, the actual role of
the left ventral premotor cortex (vPMC), ie, the lateral part of the precentral gyrus, is still …

Evidence from brain-damaged patients suggests that regions in the temporal lobes, distinct
from those engaged in lower-level auditory analysis, process the pitch and rhythmic …

Evidence from language, visual and sensorimotor learning suggests that training early in life
is more effective. The present work explores the hypothesis that learning during sensitive …

To probe sensitivity to the time structure of ongoing sound sequences, we measured MEG
responses, in human listeners, to the offset of long tone-pip sequences containing various …

The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is an anatomical structure that increasingly interests
researchers. This structure appears to receive multisensory input and is involved in several …

For the majority of the population, language is a left-hemisphere lateralized function. During
childhood, a pattern of increasing left lateralization for language has been described in brain …

Recent research suggests that perception and action are strongly interrelated and that motor
experience may aid memory recognition. We investigated the role of motor experience in …

Recent models on speech perception propose a dual-stream processing network, with a
dorsal stream, extending from the posterior temporal lobe of the left hemisphere through …
