The alignment between low-frequency activity in the brain and slow acoustic modulations in
the speech signal depicts a core principle in present theories of speech perception—a …

Research into the neural foundation of perception asserts a model where top-down
predictions modulate the bottom-up processing of sensory input. Despite becoming …

Few studies have examined which acoustic features of speech can be used to distinguish
between different emotions, and how combinations of acoustic parameters contribute to …

Age-related decline in speech perception may result in difficulties partaking in spoken
conversation and potentially lead to social isolation and cognitive decline in older adults. It is …

Speech understanding in noisy situations is compromised in old age. This study investigated
the energetic and informational masking components of multi‐talker babble noise and their …

In this study we investigated the association between age-related brain atrophy and
behavioural as well as electrophysiological markers of vowel perception in a sample of …

Varying degrees of pure‐tone hearing loss in older adults are differentially associated with
cortical volume (CV) and thickness (CT) within and outside of the auditory pathway. This …

Temporal predictions can be formed and impact perception when sensory timing is fully
predictable: for instance, the discrimination of a target sound is enhanced if it is presented …

This study explores how speech emotions affect vowel spaces, focusing on valence and
arousal dimensions across two speech corpora: German Emotional Speech Corpus (EMO …
