Sensorimotor integration is an active domain of speech research and is characterized by two main ideas, that the auditory system is critically involved in speech production and that the motor system is critically involved in speech perception.
The superior temporal gyrus (STG) is involved in speech recognition against informational masking under cocktail-party-listening conditions.
Studies the anatomy of the human head and neck, focusing on structures involved in speech and hearing.
But experimental phoneticians are probably most concerned with trying to discover the central cerebral processes involved in speech.
Broca area, also called convolution of Broca, region of the brain that contains neurons involved in speech function.
Of importance, they have shown that there are different functional roles of these areas in the processes involved in speech production, speech perception, and lexical access.
In this article, we review the PET neuroimaging literature, which indicates peculiarities of brain networks involved in speech restoration after cochlear implantation.
Dr. Shattuck-Hufnagel investigates the cognitive structures and processes involved in speech production planning, particularly at the level of speech sound sequencing.
Better models of the underlying neural mechanisms involved in speech processing can critically impact research in artificial intelligence, neurolinguistics, systems neuroscience, translational medicine, and brain computer interfaces.
Early results about the bat brain cortex indicate that regions active in vocalization could be analogous to human brain regions involved in speech, says Schmid.
Wilson, S. M., Saygin, A. P., Sereno, M. I. & Iacoboni, M. Listening to speech activates motor areas involved in speech production.
