Words as social tools: Language, sociality and inner grounding in abstract concepts
The paper introduces a new perspective on abstract concepts (eg “freedom”) and their
associate words representation, the Words As social Tools (WAT) view. Traditional theories …

Brain mechanisms of acoustic communication in humans and nonhuman primates: an evolutionary perspective
Any account of “what is special about the human brain”(Passingham 2008) must specify the
neural basis of our unique ability to produce speech and delineate how these remarkable …

Listener–speaker perceived distance predicts the degree of motor contribution to speech perception
Listening speech sounds activates motor and premotor areas in addition to temporal and
parietal brain regions. These activations are somatotopically localized according to the …

Left inferior frontal gyrus sensitivity to phonetic competition in receptive language processing: A comparison of clear and conversational speech
The speech signal is rife with variations in phonetic ambiguity. For instance, when talkers
speak in a conversational register, they demonstrate less articulatory precision, leading to …

Speech-driven spectrotemporal receptive fields beyond the auditory cortex
JH Venezia, VM Richards, G Hickok - Hearing research, 2021 - Elsevier
We recently developed a method to estimate speech-driven spectrotemporal receptive fields
(STRFs) using fMRI. The method uses spectrotemporal modulation filtering, a form of …
