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 …

While humans use their voice mainly for communicating information about the world,
paralinguistic cues in the voice signal convey rich dynamic information about a speaker's …

During the approximately 18–32 thousand years of domestication [1], dogs and humans
have shared a similar social environment [2]. Dog and human vocalizations are thus familiar …

Abstract fMRI studies increasingly examine functions and properties of non-primary areas of
human auditory cortex. However there is currently no standardized localization procedure to …

Listeners exploit small interindividual variations around a generic acoustical structure to
discriminate and identify individuals from their voice—a key requirement for social …

It is now clearly established that the environment and the sensory stimuli, particularly during
the perinatal period, have an impact on infant's development. During the last trimester of …

The functional role of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) has been implicated in a number of
studies, including those investigating face perception, voice perception, and face–voice …

The human voice carries speech as well as important nonlinguistic signals that influence our
social interactions. Among these cues that impact our behavior and communication with …

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 …

It was the aim of this study to delineate the areas along the right superior temporal sulcus
(STS) for processing of faces, voices, and face–voice integration using established …
