Continuous speech processing

C Brodbeck, JZ Simon - Current Opinion in Physiology, 2020 - Elsevier
Speech processing in the human brain is grounded in non-specific auditory processing in

[HTML][HTML] Simple acoustic features can explain phoneme-based predictions of cortical responses to speech

C Daube, RAA Ince, J Gross - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
When we listen to speech, we have to make sense of a waveform of sound pressure.
Hierarchical models of speech perception assume that, to extract semantic meaning, the …

Subcortical responses to music and speech are alike while cortical responses diverge

T Shan, MS Cappelloni, RK Maddox - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
