Speech processing relies on interactions between auditory and motor systems and is
asymmetrically organized in the human brain. The left auditory system is specialized for processing …

When auditory feedback perturbation is introduced in a predictable way over a number of
utterances, speakers learn to compensate by adjusting their own productions, a process …

Although movement variability is often attributed to unwanted noise in the motor system,
recent work has demonstrated that variability may be actively controlled. To date, research on …

Over the last three decades, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has gained popularity
as a tool to modulate human somatosensation. However, the effects of different stimulation …

Human speech production is strongly influenced by the auditory feedback it generates.
Auditory feedback-what we hear when we speak-enables us to learn and maintain speaking …

Previous studies of tonal speech perception have generally suggested harder or later access
to lexical tone than segmental information, but the mechanism underlying the lexical tone …

Medical rehabilitation involving behavioral training can produce highly successful outcomes,
but those successes are obtained at the cost of long periods of often tedious training, …

The environmental problems of global warming and fossil fuel depletion are increasingly
severe, and the demand for energy conversion and storage is increasing. Ecological issues …

When individuals make a movement that produces an unexpected outcome, they learn from
the resulting error. This process, essential in both acquiring new motor skills and adapting to …

Hearing one’s own speech allows for acoustic self-monitoring in real time. Left-hemisphere
motor planning regions are thought to give rise to efferent predictions that can be compared …
