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 …

Understanding the neural basis of speech perception requires that we study the human
brain both at the scale of the fundamental computational unit of neurons and in their …

The human auditory system extracts rich linguistic abstractions from speech signals.
Traditional approaches to understanding this complex process have used linear feature …

The precise role of the human auditory cortex in representing speech sounds and
transforming them to meaning is not yet fully understood. Here we used intracranial …

To derive meaning from sound, the brain must integrate information across many timescales.
What computations underlie multiscale integration in human auditory cortex? Evidence …

The neural processes that underlie your ability to read and understand this sentence are
unknown. Sentence comprehension occurs very rapidly, and can only be understood at a …

Humans are adept at understanding speech despite the fact that our natural listening
environment is often filled with interference. An example of this capacity is phoneme …

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 …

Recent decades have ushered in tremendous progress in understanding the neural basis of
language. Most of our current knowledge on language and the brain, however, is derived …
