Although a growing literature points to substantial variation in speech/language abilities
related to individual differences in musical abilities, mainstream models of communication …

Background Cortical entrainment has emerged as a promising means for measuring
continuous speech processing in young, neurotypical adults. However, its utility for capturing …

Rhythm perception seems to be crucial to language development. Many studies have shown
that children with developmental dyslexia and developmental language disorder have …

Older adults process emotions in speech differently than do young adults. However, it is
unclear whether these age-related changes impact all speech channels to the same extent …

Simultaneous interpretation is a complex task that is assumed to be associated with a high
workload. To corroborate this association, we measured workload during three tasks of …

Sonority is a central notion in phonetics and phonology and it is essential for generalizations
related to syllabic organization. However, to date there is no clear consensus on the …

The goal of describing how the human brain responds to complex acoustic stimuli has
driven auditory neuroscience research for decades. Often, a systems-based approach has …

Young infants can segment continuous speech with statistical as well as prosodic cues.
Understanding how these cues interact can be informative about how infants solve the …

During continuous speech perception, endogenous neural activity becomes time-locked to
acoustic stimulus features, such as the speech amplitude envelope. This speech–brain …

Speech understanding, while effortless in quiet conditions, is challenging in noisy
environments. Previous studies have revealed that a feasible approach to supplement …
