The recognition of spoken language has typically been studied by focusing on either words
or their constituent elements (for example, low-level features or phonemes). More recently …

Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Cognitive neuroscience set out to understand the neural mechanisms underlying cognition.
One central question is how oscillatory brain activity relates to cognitive processes. Up to …

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation
technique that allows the manipulation of intrinsic brain oscillations. Numerous studies have …

Speech processing in the human brain is grounded in non-specific auditory processing in
the general mammalian brain, but relies on human-specific adaptations for processing …

Low-frequency neural entrainment to rhythmic input has been hypothesized as a canonical
mechanism that shapes sensory perception in time. Neural entrainment is deemed …

Linguistic phrases are tracked in sentences even though there is no one-to-one acoustic
phrase marker in the physical signal. This phenomenon suggests an automatic tracking of …

All human infants acquire language, but their brains do not know which language/s to
prepare for. This observation suggests that there are fundamental components of the speech …

Rhythmic sensory or electrical stimulation will produce rhythmic brain responses. These
rhythmic responses are often interpreted as endogenous neural oscillations aligned (or …
