The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural entrainment
is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to these …

Speech perception is supported by both acoustic signal decomposition and semantic context.
This study, using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, investigated the …

Like the visual and the sensorimotor systems, the auditory system exhibits pronounced
alpha-like resting oscillatory activity. Due to the relatively small spatial extent of auditory cortical …

The human ability to continuously track dynamic environmental stimuli, in particular speech,
is proposed to profit from “entrainment” of endogenous neural oscillations, which involves …

Knowledge about the recovery of language functions in bilingual aphasic patients who
suffer from left-hemispheric stroke is scarce. Here, we present the case of an early bilingual …

In speech comprehension, the processing of auditory information and linguistic context are
mutually dependent. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study examines how …

… Antje Strauß, Malte Wöstmann, and Jonas Obleser are supported by a Max Planck Research
Grant to Jonas Obleser. The authors are grateful for in-depth discussions with the members …

Modulations of human alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) accompany many cognitive processes,
but their functional role in auditory perception has proven elusive: Do oscillatory dynamics of …

Speech comprehension has been shown to be a strikingly bilateral process, but the differential
contributions of the subfields of left and right auditory cortices have remained elusive. The …

This study further elucidates determinants of vowel perception in the human auditory cortex.
The vowel inventory of a given language can be classified on the basis of phonological …
