This test was meant to assess the categorical perception of voicing, in a form most relevant for the perception of tense marking.
Although the ventral visual cortex has not standardly been considered a critical substrate for motion perception, and, instead, has been considered a downstream (feed-forward) recipient of motion signals that are relevant for shape perception (Sary et al., 1993; Grill-Spector et al., 1998; Kriegeskorte et al., 2003; Peuskens et al., 2004), there is some evidence consistent with our findings.
Schomers, M. R. & Pulvermüller, F. Is the sensorimotor cortex relevant for speech perception and understanding?
Grush (2007: 393) maintains that only the latter are directly relevant for spatial perception.
However, phase is an important property: phase relations between different tracks are relevant for the perception and can be severely distorted when not transmitting the phase.
In fact, the duration of the headache attack was also independently associated to the physical component of burden; supporting that not only the presence of pain, but also its duration, is relevant for burden perception.
In a recent study, we have in fact corroborated such observation and argued that the spectrotemporal coding of sensory features in the mammalian auditory system, particularly at the level of auditory cortex, provides a neural basis for the representation of both spectral and temporal acoustic attributes relevant for timbre perception.
The role of the whisker as a mechanical oscillator is also relevant for tactile perception [16], [24], [25], [26].
Other studies reported that in addition to power, the phase of the alpha oscillation in occipital areas seems relevant for phosphene perception [45].
