Neural oscillations subserve a broad range of functions in speech processing and language
comprehension. On the one hand, speech contains—somewhat—repetitive trains of air …

The ability to predict when something will happen facilitates sensory processing and the
ensuing computations. Building on the observation that neural activity entrains to periodic …

Cortical oscillations are likely candidates for segmentation and coding of continuous
speech. Here, we monitored continuous speech processing with magnetoencephalography …

Research on speech processing is often focused on a phenomenon termed “entrainment”,
whereby the cortex shadows rhythmic acoustic information with oscillatory activity …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

The fact that feed-forward and top-down propagation of sensory information use distinct
frequency bands is an appealing assumption for which evidence remains scarce. Here we …

Highlights•The anatomic organization for language is less lateralized than
assumed.•Speech and language processing are mediated by segregated concurrent …

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 …

The principles underlying functional asymmetries in cortex remain debated. For example, it
is accepted that speech is processed bilaterally in auditory cortex, but a left hemisphere …

Human language stands out in the natural world as a biological signal that uses a structured
system to combine the meanings of small linguistic units (eg, words) into larger constituents …
