Understanding how brains process sensory signals in natural environments is one of the key
goals of twenty-first century neuroscience. While brain imaging and invasive …

This paper considers the auditory attention detection (AAD) paradigm, where the goal is to
determine which of two simultaneous speakers a person is attending to. The paradigm relies …

Congruent audiovisual speech enhances our ability to comprehend a speaker, even in
noise-free conditions. When incongruent auditory and visual information is presented …

Lip-reading is crucial for understanding speech in challenging conditions. But how the brain
extracts meaning from, silent, visual speech is still under debate. Lip-reading in silence …

Seeing a speaker's face benefits speech comprehension, especially in challenging listening
conditions. This perceptual benefit is thought to stem from the neural integration of visual …

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 …

Speech is a multisensory percept, comprising an auditory and visual component. While the
content and processing pathways of audio speech have been well characterized, the visual …

Visual speech carried by lip movements is an integral part of communication. Yet, it remains
unclear in how far visual and acoustic speech comprehension are mediated by the same …

Audiovisual speech perception relies, among other things, on our expertise to map a
speaker's lip movements with speech sounds. This multimodal matching is facilitated by …

Lip-reading is crucial to understand speech in challenging conditions. Neuroimaging
investigations have revealed that lip-reading activates auditory cortices in individuals …
