Many current neurophysiological, psychophysical, and psychological approaches to vision
rest on the idea that when we see, the brain produces an internal representation of the …

This study explored the perceptual benefits of brief exposure to non-native speech. Native
English listeners were exposed to English sentences produced by non-native speakers …

Speech comprehension is resistant to acoustic distortion in the input, reflecting listeners'
ability to adjust perceptual processes to match the speech input. For noise-vocoded …

Speech produced by different people varies acoustically because of individual differences in
vocal tract physiology. This acoustic variation in the “same” words of language presents a …

Observing a speaker's mouth profoundly influences speech perception. For example,

A class of selective attention models often applied to speech perception is used to study
effects of training on the perception of an unfamiliar phonetic contrast. Attention-to …

One view of speech perception is that acoustic signals are transformed into representations
