Abstract:
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 sparse-sampling, cardiac-gated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) acquisition, human listeners heard and repeated back 4-band-vocoded sentences

Talk at the Society for Neuroscience Meeting, Washington, DC on Wednesday
If you happen to be at SfN this week, you might want to check out my short presentation on a recent study [1] we did: What do spectral (frequency-domain) and temporal (time-domain) features really contribute to speech comprehension processes in…
