The human voice is the carrier of speech, but also an'auditory face'that conveys important
affective and identity information. Little is known about the neural bases of our abilities to …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance

To evaluate the relative role of left and right hemispheres (RH) and describe the functional
anatomy of RH during ortholinguistic tasks, we re-analyzed the 128 papers of a former left …

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 …

Comprehending and producing sentences is a complex endeavor requiring the coordinated
activity of multiple brain regions. We examined three issues related to the brain networks …

Voices carry large amounts of socially relevant information on persons, much like 'auditory
faces'. Following Bruce and Young (1986)'s seminal model of face perception, we propose …

Integration of information from face and voice plays a central role in our social interactions. It
has been mostly studied in the context of audiovisual speech perception: integration of …

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 …
