Attention is a hypothetical mechanism in the service of perception that facilitates the
processing of relevant information and inhibits the processing of irrelevant information …

Neural overlap in processing music and speech, as measured by the co-activation of brain
regions in neuroimaging studies, may suggest that parts of the neural circuitries established …

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 …

Powerful speeches can captivate audiences, whereas weaker speeches fail to engage their
listeners. What is happening in the brains of a captivated audience? Here, we assess …

The ability of the auditory cortex in the brain to distinguish different sounds is important in
daily life. This study investigated whether activations in the auditory cortex caused by …

A number studies have shown that the auditory N1 event-related potential (ERP) is
attenuated when elicited by self-induced or self-generated sounds. Because N1 is a …

The ubiquity of music across cultures as a means of emotional expression, and its proposed
evolutionary relation to speech, motivated researchers to attempt a characterization of its …

Perceiving speech-in-noise (SIN) demands precise neural coding between brainstem and
cortical levels of the hearing system. Attentional processes can then select and prioritize task …

Objective To assess cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA) of frontal, temporal, and
parietal brain regions in a large clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR) sample, and to identify …

There are functional and anatomical distinctions between the neural systems involved in the
recognition of sounds in the environment and those involved in the sensorimotor guidance …
