At present there is no direct brain measure of basic emotional dynamics from the human
brain. EEG provides non-invasive approaches for monitoring brain electrical activity to …

How quickly do listeners recognize emotions from a speaker's voice, and does the time
course for recognition vary by emotion type? To address these questions, we adapted the …

We investigated neural mechanisms that support voice recognition in a training paradigm
with fMRI. The same listeners were trained on different weeks to categorize the mid-regions …

Research in brain–computer interface (BCI) has significantly increased during the last few
years. Additionally to their initial role as assisting devices for the physically challenged, BCIs …

Speech perception requires rapid extraction of the linguistic content from the acoustic signal.
The ability to efficiently process rapid changes in auditory information is important for …

Timbre plays an essential role in transmitting musical affect, and in recent years, our
understanding of emotional expression in music has been enriched by contributions from …

In speech communication, listeners must accurately decode vocal cues that refer to the
speaker's mental state, such as their confidence or 'feeling of knowing'. However, the time …

While it is a well-established finding that subjects' own names (SON) and familiar voices are
salient during wakefulness, we here investigated processing of environmental stimuli during …

The auditory gating paradigm was adopted to study how much acoustic information is
needed to recognize emotions from speech prosody and music performances. In Study 1 …

Interpersonal communication involves the processing of multimodal emotional cues,
particularly facial expressions (visual modality) and emotional speech prosody (auditory …
