During face-to-face conversational speech listeners must efficiently process a rapid and
complex stream of multisensory information. Visual speech can serve as a critical …

Background Within qualitative research in-person interviews have the reputation for being
the highest standard of interviewer-participant encounter. However, there are other …

There is growing evidence that phonetic categories have a rich internal structure, with
category members varying systematically in category goodness. Our recent findings on this …

A growing body of evidence shows that ongoing oscillations in auditory cortex modulate
their phase to match the rhythm of temporally regular acoustic stimuli, increasing sensitivity …

Speech comprehension depends on the integrity of both the spectral content and temporal
envelope of the speech signal. Although neural processing underlying spectral analysis has …

Natural-sounding speech synthesis requires close control over the temporal structure of the
speech flow. This includes a full predictive scheme for the durational structure and in …

Many environmental stimuli present a quasi-rhythmic structure at different timescales that the
brain needs to decompose and integrate. Cortical oscillations have been proposed as …

This study characterizes the speech tempo (articulation rate, excluding pauses) of two
distinct varieties of American English taking into account both between-speaker and within …

Individual talkers differ in the acoustic properties of their speech, and at least some of these
differences are in acoustic properties relevant for phonetic perception. Recent findings from …

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between
cognitive function, listening effort, and speech recognition for a group of younger and older …
