Complex Impact of Stimulus Envelope on Motor Synchronization to Sound Open
The human brain tracks temporal regularities in acoustic signals faithfully. Recent neuroimaging studies have shown complex modulations of synchronized neural activities to the shape of stimulus envelopes. How to connect neural responses t…

Neural harmonics reflect grammaticality Open
Can neural activity reveal syntactic structure building processes and their violations? To verify this, we recorded electroencephalographic and behavioral data as participants discriminated concatenated isochronous sentence chains containi…

Dynamics of Functional Networks for Syllable and Word-Level Processing Open
Speech comprehension requires the ability to temporally segment the acoustic input for higher-level linguistic analysis. Oscillation-based approaches suggest that low-frequency auditory cortex oscillations track syllable-sized acoustic inf…

Acoustically Driven Cortical δ Oscillations Underpin Prosodic Chunking Open
Oscillation-based models of speech perception postulate a cortical computational principle by which decoding is performed within a window structure derived by a segmentation process. Segmentation of syllable-size chunks is realized by a θ …

The success of a language experiment heavily relies on selecting appropriate stimulus materials. This selection process entails a critical trade-off between similarity to ‘real’ language (i.e. external validity) and experimental and analyt…

“Acoustic-driven oscillators as cortical pacemaker”: a commentary on Meyer, Sun & Martin (2019) Open
This is a commentary on a review article by Meyer, Sun & Martin (2019), "Synchronous, but not entrained: exogenous and endogenous cortical rhythms of speech and language processing", doi:10.1080/23273798.2019.1693050. At the heart of this …

Can neural rhythms reflect purely internal syntactic processes in multi-word constructions? To test this controversial conjecture - relevant to language in particular and cognition more broadly - we recorded electroencephalographic and beh…

The possible role of brain rhythms in perceiving fast speech: Evidence from adult aging Open
The rhythms of speech and the time scales of linguistic units (e.g., syllables) correspond remarkably to cortical oscillations. Previous research has demonstrated that in young adults, the intelligibility of time-compressed speech can be r…

Electrocorticographic responses to time-compressed speech vary across the cortical auditory hierarchy Open
Human listeners understand spoken language across a variety of rates, but when speech is presented three times or more faster than its usual rate, it becomes unintelligible. How the brain achieves such tolerance and why speech becomes unin…

Entrained theta oscillations guide perception of subsequent speech: behavioural evidence from rate normalisation Open
This psychoacoustic study provides behavioural evidence that neural entrainment in the theta range (3–9 Hz) causally shapes speech perception. Adopting the “rate normalization” paradigm (presenting compressed carrier sentences followed by …

Acoustic-driven delta rhythms as prosodic markers Open
Oscillation-based models of speech perception postulate a cortical computation principle by which decoding is performed within a time-varying window structure, synchronised with the input on multiple time scales. The windows are generated …
