In a naturalistic environment, auditory cues are often accompanied by information from other
senses, which can be redundant with or complementary to the auditory information …

Infants prefer to be addressed with infant-directed speech (IDS). IDS benefits language
acquisition through amplified low-frequency amplitude modulations. It has been reported …

During speech processing, neural activity in non-autistic adults and infants tracks the speech
envelope. Recent research in adults indicates that this neural tracking relates to linguistic …

Human speech is a particularly relevant acoustic stimulus for our species, due to its role of
information transmission during communication. Speech is inherently a dynamic signal, and …

Objective To predict the impact of face personal protective equipment on verbal
communication during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Design We assessed the effect of …

Natural conversation is multisensory: when we can see the speaker's face, visual speech
cues improve our comprehension. The neuronal mechanisms underlying this phenomenon …

Could meaning be read from acoustics, or from the refraction rate of pyramidal cells
innervated by the cochlea, everyone would be an omniglot. Speech does not contain …

There is considerable debate over how visual speech is processed in the absence of sound
and whether neural activity supporting lipreading occurs in visual brain areas. Much of the …

Abstract Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) differs from the common perception tasks as it
requires deeper reasoning over the video sequence, even by human experts. Despite the …

We introduce a new task, unsupervised vision-language (VL) grammar induction. Given an
image-caption pair, the goal is to extract a shared hierarchical structure for both image and …
