Perception in ambiguous environments relies on the combination of sensory information
from various sources. Most associative and primary sensory cortical areas are involved in …

Abstract Human alpha (~ 10 Hz) oscillatory power is a prominent neural marker of cognitive
effort. When listeners attempt to process and retain acoustically degraded speech, alpha …

Listeners show a remarkable ability to quickly adjust to degraded speech input. Here, we
aimed to identify the neural mechanisms of such short-term perceptual adaptation. In a …

Speech comprehension abilities decline with age and with age-related hearing loss, but it is
unclear how this decline expresses in terms of central neural mechanisms. The current study …

The present study investigated the effects of inhibition, vocabulary knowledge, and working
memory on perceptual adaptation to accented speech. One hundred young, normal-hearing …

The speech we hear every day is typically “degraded” by competing sounds and the
idiosyncratic vocal characteristics of individual speakers. While the comprehension of …

Prior studies have shown that repetitive presentation of acoustic stimuli results in an
alignment of ongoing neuronal oscillations to the sequence rhythm via oscillatory …

Humans can generate mental auditory images of voices or songs, sometimes perceiving
them almost as vividly as perceptual experiences. The functional networks supporting …

Increased neural activity in left angular gyrus (AG) accompanies successful comprehension
of acoustically degraded but highly predictable sentences, as previous functional imaging …

When confronted with unfamiliar or novel forms of speech, listeners' word recognition
performance is known to improve with exposure, but data are lacking on the fine-grained …
