Little is known about the brain mechanisms involved in word learning during infancy and in
second language acquisition and about the way these new words become stable …

Statistical learning has been studied in a variety of different tasks, including word
segmentation, object identification, category learning, artificial grammar learning and serial …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

Human language requires constant learning of new words, leading to the acquisition of an
average vocabulary of more than 30,000 words in adult life. The ability to learn new words is …

The extraction of patterns in the environment plays a critical role in many types of human
learning, from motor skills to language acquisition. This process is known as statistical …

This paper introduces active listening, as a unified framework for synthesising and
recognising speech. The notion of active listening inherits from active inference, which …

Musical training is known to modify auditory perception and related cortical organization.
Here, we show that these modifications may extend to higher cognitive functions and …

Learning a spoken language presupposes efficient auditory functions. In the present event-
related potential study, we tested whether and how basic auditory processes are related to …

Statistical learning, the process of extracting regularities from the environment, plays an
essential role in many aspects of cognition, including speech segmentation and language …

Listening to speech with poor signal quality is challenging. Neural speech tracking of
degraded speech has been used to advance the understanding of how brain processes and …
