This article presents a review of the effects of adverse conditions (ACs) on the perceptual,
linguistic, cognitive, and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech recognition …

Cochlear implants (CIs) are the world's most successful sensory prosthesis and have been
the subject of intense research and development in recent decades. We critically review the …

Understanding foreign speech is difficult, in part because of unusual map**s between
sounds and words. It is known that listeners in their native language can use lexical …

Speech perception (SP) most commonly refers to the perceptual map** from the highly
variable acoustic speech signal to a linguistic representation, whether it be phonemes …

Adult language users have an enormous amount of experience with speech in their native
language. As a result, they have very well-developed processes for categorizing the sounds …

Revealing the relationships between perceptual representations in the brain and
mechanisms of adult perceptual learning is of great importance, potentially leading to …

Successful perception depends on combining sensory input with prior knowledge. However,
the underlying mechanism by which these two sources of information are combined is …

This study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine whether we employ the same
normalisation mechanisms when processing words spoken with a regional accent or foreign …

Human perception is shaped by past experience on multiple timescales. Sudden and
dramatic changes in perception occur when prior knowledge or expectations match stimulus …

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 …
