The recognition of spoken language has typically been studied by focusing on either words
or their constituent elements (for example, low-level features or phonemes). More recently …

Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

Speech and music have structured rhythms. Here we discuss a major acoustic correlate of
spoken and musical rhythms, the slow (0.25–32 Hz) temporal modulations in sound intensity …

Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

Neural oscillations subserve a broad range of functions in speech processing and language
comprehension. On the one hand, speech contains—somewhat—repetitive trains of air …

Background. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a relatively recent method
suited to noninvasively modulate brain oscillations. Technically the method is similar but not …

Theta is an extensively studied oscillation of the nervous system, but there is only a paucity
of reviews on the subject. A review of specifically the cognitive-affective correlates of the …

Auditory cortical activity is entrained to the temporal envelope of speech, which corresponds
to the syllabic rhythm of speech. Such entrained cortical activity can be measured from …

Recent studies establish that cortical oscillations track naturalistic speech in a remarkably
faithful way. Here, we test whether such neural activity, particularly low-frequency (< 8 Hz; …

Modulating brain oscillations has strong therapeutic potential. Interventions that both non-
invasively modulate deep brain structures and are practical for chronic daily home use are …
