Understanding the mechanisms of familiar voice-identity recognition in the human brain

C Maguinness, C Roswandowitz, K von Kriegstein - Neuropsychologia, 2018 - Elsevier
Humans have a remarkable skill for voice-identity recognition: most of us can remember
many voices that surround us as 'unique'. In this review, we explore the computational and …
