Research into the anatomical substrates and" principles" for integrating inputs from separate
sensory surfaces has yielded divergent findings. This suggests that multisensory integration …

Adult speech perception reflects the long-term regularities of the native language, but it is
also flexible such that it accommodates and adapts to adverse listening conditions and short …

Speech perception depends on long-term representations that reflect regularities of the
native language. However, listeners rapidly adapt when speech acoustics deviate from …

The seeming ease with which we usually understand each other belies the complexity of the
processes that underlie speech perception. One of the biggest computational challenges is …

The perceptual brain is designed around multisensory input. Areas once thought dedicated
to a single sense are now known to work with multiple senses. It has been argued that the …

Subjects presented with coherent auditory and visual streams generally fuse them into a
single percept. This results in enhanced intelligibility in noise, or in visual modification of the …

Purpose: The goal of this review article is to reinvigorate interest in lipreading and lipreading
training for adults with acquired hearing loss. Most adults benefit from being able to see the …

Learning to read requires the formation of efficient neural associations between written and
spoken language. Whether these associations influence the auditory cortical representation …

Reading acquisition reorganizes existing brain networks for speech and visual processing to
form novel audio-visual language representations. This requires substantial cortical …

One of the proposed issues underlying reading difficulties in dyslexia is insufficiently
automatized letter-speech sound associations. In the current fMRI experiment, we employ …
