Brain 'talks over' boring quotes: Top-down activation of voice-selective areas while listening to monotonous direct speech quotations
In human communication, direct speech (e.g., Mary said, "I'm hungry") is perceived as more vivid than indirect speech (e.g., Mary said that she was hungry). This vividness distinction has previously been found to underlie silent reading of quotations: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we found that direct speech elicited higher brain activity in the temporal voice areas (TVA) ...
متن کاملBrain activity during selective listening to natural speech.
Human brain functions involved in selective attention to particular sounds have been studied extensively with non-invasive measurements of electro-magnetic and hemodynamic brain activity. Here we review studies indicating that selection of the attended sounds for further processing occurs in the auditory cortex. The exact locus of this selection process in the auditory cortex appears to depend ...
متن کاملSilent Reading of Direct versus Indirect Speech Activates Voice-selective Areas in the Auditory Cortex
In human communication, direct speech (e.g., Mary said: "I'm hungry") is perceived to be more vivid than indirect speech (e.g., Mary said [that] she was hungry). However, for silent reading, the representational consequences of this distinction are still unclear. Although many of us share the intuition of an "inner voice," particularly during silent reading of direct speech statements in text, ...
متن کاملHow silent is silent reading? Intracerebral evidence for top-down activation of temporal voice areas during reading.
As you might experience it while reading this sentence, silent reading often involves an imagery speech component: we can hear our own "inner voice" pronouncing words mentally. Recent functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have associated that component with increased metabolic activity in the auditory cortex, including voice-selective areas. It remains to be determined, however, whether...
متن کاملUniversality in the brain while listening to music.
The human brain, which is one of the most complex organic systems, involves billions of interacting physiological and chemical processes that give rise to experimentally observed neuroelectrical activity, which is called an electroencephalogram (EEG). The presence of non-stationarity and intermittency render standard available methods unsuitable for detecting hidden dynamical patterns in the EE...
