Spoken language exists because of a remarkable neural process. Inside a speaker's brain,
an intended message gives rise to neural signals activating the muscles of the vocal tract …

Singing provides a unique opportunity to examine music performance—the musical
instrument is contained wholly within the body, thus eliminating the need for creating …

Following research that found imitation in single-word shadowing, this study examines the
degree to which interacting talkers increase similarity in phonetic repertoire during …

Despite abundant evidence of malleability in speech production, previous studies of the
effects of late second-language learning on first-language speech production have been …

When we carry out an act, we typically attribute the action to ourselves, the sense of agency.
Explanations for agency include conscious prior intention to act, followed by observation of …

The control of vocalization is critically dependent on auditory feedback. Here, we determined
the human peri-Sylvian speech network that mediates feedback control of pitch using direct …

The hypothesis that speech goals are defined acoustically and maintained by auditory
feedback is a central idea in speech production research,,,,,. An alternative proposal is that …

Interest in the phonetics of sound change is as old as scientific linguistics (Osthoff and
Brugman 1878). The prevalent view is that a key component of sound change is what …

People's mental representations of their own body are malleable and continuously updated
through sensory cues. Altering one's body-representation can lead to changes in object …

The role of auditory feedback in speech motor control was explored in three related
experiments. Experiment 1 investigated auditory sensorimotor adaptation: the process by …
