It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Speech produced by different people varies acoustically because of individual differences in
vocal tract physiology. This acoustic variation in the “same” words of language presents a …

The principles underlying functional asymmetries in cortex remain debated. For example, it
is accepted that speech is processed bilaterally in auditory cortex, but a left hemisphere …

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 …

We studied online coupling between a reader's voice and a listener's cortical activity using a
novel, ecologically valid continuous listening paradigm. Whole‐scalp …

Selective attention to relevant sound properties is essential for everyday listening situations.
It enables the formation of different perceptual representations of the same acoustic input …

Speech perception requires rapid integration of acoustic input with context-dependent
knowledge. Recent methodological advances have allowed researchers to identify …

While humans have developed a sophisticated and unique system of verbal auditory
communication, they also share a more common and evolutionarily important nonverbal …

The acoustic dimensions that distinguish speech sounds (like the vowel differences in “boot”
and “boat”) also differentiate speakers' voices. Therefore, listeners must normalize across …

Thirty years on from their initial observation that familiar voice recognition is not the same as
unfamiliar voice discrimination (van Lancker and Kreiman, 1987), the current paper reviews …
