It has become increasingly evident that human motor circuits are active during speech
perception. However, the conditions under which the motor system modulates speech perception …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been employed to manipulate brain activity
and to establish cortical excitability by eliciting motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in speech …

In this article, we used High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) with advanced
anatomically constrained particle filtering tractography to investigate the role of the arcuate …

Excitability of articulatory motor cortex is facilitated when listening to speech in challenging
conditions. Beyond this, however, we have little knowledge of what listener-specific and …

Successful perception of speech in everyday listening conditions requires effective listening
strategies to overcome common acoustic distortions, such as background noise. Convergent …

Primary motor (M1) areas for speech production activate during speech perception. It has
been suggested that such activation may be dependent upon modulatory inputs from premotor …

Few studies thus far have investigated whether perception of distorted speech is consistent
across different types of distortion. This study investigated whether participants show a …

This study aimed to characterize effects of coil orientation on the size of Motor Evoked Potentials
(MEPs) from both sides of Orbicularis Oris (OO) and both First Dorsal Interosseous (FDI) …
