Listening to speech modulates activity in human motor cortex. It is unclear, however, whether
the motor cortex has an essential role in speech perception. Here, we aimed to determine …

We studied the interactions in neural processing of auditory and visual speech by recording
event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Unisensory (auditory - A and visual - V) and …

The motor regions that control movements of the articulators activate during listening to speech
and contribute to performance in demanding speech recognition and discrimination tasks…

We investigated cerebral processing of audiovisual speech stimuli in humans using
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Ten healthy volunteers were scanned with a ‘…

Transcranial direct current stimulation over left inferior frontal cortex improves speech fluency in …

Recent studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have demonstrated
that disruptions of the articulatory motor cortex impair performance in demanding speech …

The earliest stages of cortical processing of speech sounds take place in the auditory cortex.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have provided evidence that the human …

Recent studies have yielded contradictory evidence on whether visual speech perception (watching
articulatory gestures) can activate the human primary auditory cortex. To circumvent …

Background: The ability to communicate using speech is a remarkable skill, which requires
precise coordination of articulatory movements and decoding of complex acoustic signals. …

Mounting evidence indicates a role in perceptual decoding of speech for the dorsal auditory
stream connecting between temporal auditory and frontal-parietal articulatory areas. The …
