Neural dynamics of phoneme sequences reveal position-invariant code for content and order

L Gwilliams, JR King, A Marantz, D Poeppel - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com

[HTML][HTML] Simple acoustic features can explain phoneme-based predictions of cortical responses to speech

C Daube, RAA Ince, J Gross - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
When we listen to speech, we have to make sense of a waveform of sound pressure.
Hierarchical models of speech perception assume that, to extract semantic meaning, the …

Semantic context enhances the early auditory encoding of natural speech

MP Broderick, AJ Anderson, EC Lalor - Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Speech perception involves the integration of sensory input with expectations based on the
context of that speech. Much debate surrounds the issue of whether or not prior knowledge …
