Human voices are extremely variable: The same person can sound very different depending
on whether they are speaking, laughing, shouting or whispering. In order to successfully …

Humans have a remarkable skill for voice-identity recognition: most of us can remember
many voices that surround us as 'unique'. In this review, we explore the computational and …

When hearing a voice, listeners can form a detailed impression of the person behind the
voice. Existing models of voice processing focus primarily on one aspect of person …

Human speech perception is a paradigm example of the complexity of human linguistic
processing; however, it is also the dominant way of expressing vocal identity and is critically …

Fundamental frequency (F 0, perceived as voice pitch) predicts sex and age, hormonal
status, mating success and a range of social traits, and thus functions as an important …

When seeing someone's face or hearing their voice, perceivers routinely infer information
about a person's age, sex and social traits. While many experiments have explored how …

The human voice is a highly flexible instrument for self-expression, yet voice identity
perception is largely studied using controlled speech recordings. Using two voice-sorting …

In humans, identity is partly encoded in a voice-print that is carried across multiple
vocalizations. Other species also signal vocal identity in calls, such as shown in the contact …

Sounds are generated by interactions between objects in the world and carry information
about the sound's sources and the objects' sound-generating actions. This dual nature of …

Social animals can identify conspecifics by many forms of sensory input. However, whether
the neuronal computations that support this ability to identify individuals rely on modality …
