Permanently changed sensory stimulation can modify functional connectivity patterns in the
healthy brain and in pathology. In the pathology case, these adaptive modifications of the …

Adaptation to the environment is a universal property of perception across all sensory
modalities. It can enhance the salience of new events in an ongoing background and helps …

The long-term spectrum of a preceding sentence can alter the perception of a following
speech sound in a contrastive manner. This speech context effect contributes to our ability to …

Speech perception requires accommodation of a wide range of acoustic variability across
talkers. A classic example is the perception of “sh” and “s” fricative sounds, which are …

All perception takes place in context. Recognition of a given speech sound is influenced by
the acoustic properties of surrounding sounds. When the spectral composition of earlier …

The auditory system is remarkably sensitive to changes in the acoustic environment. This is
exemplified by two classic effects of preceding spectral context on perception. In auditory …

Auditory perception is shaped by spectral properties of surrounding sounds. For example,
when spectral properties differ between earlier (context) and later (target) sounds, this can …

The identity of a speech sound can be affected by the long-term spectrum of a preceding
stimulus. Poor spectral resolution of cochlear implants (CIs) may affect such context effects …

The perception of any given sound is influenced by surrounding sounds. When successive
sounds differ in their spectral compositions, these differences may be perceptually …

The human voice is a highly relevant and social auditory stimulus. The questions of whether
the voice forms a special category in auditory perception and, if so, how the brain's …
