Human speech perception results from neural computations that transform external acoustic
speech signals into internal representations of words. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) …

The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

Humans have a unique ability to produce and consume rich, complex, and varied language
in order to communicate ideas to one another. Still, outside of natural reading, the most …

Speech comprehension requires that the brain extract semantic meaning from the spectral
features represented at the cochlea. To investigate this process, we performed an fMRI …

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the
world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is …

Encoding models provide a powerful framework to identify the information represented in
brain recordings. In this framework, a stimulus representation is expressed within a feature …

Cognitive neuroscience has seen rapid growth in the size and complexity of data recorded
from the human brain as well as in the computational tools available to analyze this data …

The decoding of selective auditory attention from noninvasive electroencephalogram (EEG)
data is of interest in brain computer interface and auditory perception research. The current …

Certain brain disorders resulting from brainstem infarcts, traumatic brain injury, cerebral
palsy, stroke, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, limit verbal communication despite the …

Speech communication in real-world environments requires adaptation to changing acoustic
conditions. How the human auditory cortex adapts as a new noise source appears in or …
