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 …

Classical models have traditionally focused on the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's
area) as a key region for motor planning of speech production. However, converging …

Does “the motor system” play “a role” in speech perception? If so, where, how, and when?
We conducted a systematic review that addresses these questions using both qualitative …

The modern cochlear implant (CI) is the most successful neural prosthesis developed to
date. CIs provide hearing to the profoundly hearing impaired and allow the acquisition of …

Finding creative solutions to difficult problems is a fundamental aspect of human culture and
a skill highly needed. However, the exact neural processes underlying creative problem …

Although the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas have been intensely
investigated in relation to their motor functions, they are also consistently reported in studies …

In humans, listening to speech evokes neural responses in the motor cortex. This has been
controversially interpreted as evidence that speech sounds are processed as articulatory …

The relation between perception and action remains a fundamental question for
neuroscience. In the context of speech, existing data suggest an interaction between …

Understanding speech in noisy environments is challenging, especially for seniors.
Although evidence suggests that older adults increasingly recruit prefrontal cortices to offset …

Musicianship can mitigate age-related declines in audiovisual speech-in-noise perception.
We tested whether this benefit originates from functional preservation or functional …
