Right-hemisphere auditory cortex is dominant for coding syllable patterns in speech.
Cortical analysis of speech has long been considered the domain of left-hemisphere auditory areas. A recent hypothesis poses that cortical processing of acoustic signals, including speech, is mediated bilaterally based on the component rates inherent to the speech signal. In support of this hypothesis, previous studies have shown that slow temporal features (3-5 Hz) in nonspeech acoustic signal...
متن کاملThe right brain hemisphere is dominant in human infants.
The development of functional brain asymmetry during childhood is confirmed by changes in cerebral blood flow measured at rest using dynamic single photon emission computed tomography. Between 1 and 3 years of age, the blood flow shows a right hemispheric predominance, mainly due to the activity in the posterior associative area. Asymmetry shifts to the left after 3 years. The subsequent time c...
متن کاملConcurrent auditory perception difficulties in older adults with right hemisphere cerebrovascular accident
Background :Older adults with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. In present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds. Methods : Concurrent auditory...
متن کاملSpeech recognition using syllable patterns
This paper presents an account of the use of syllable structure as the basis for a novel approach to speech recognition. This contrasts with the serial organization of more conventional phonetic segments, and their use in speech recognition systems. It is demonstrated that working with syllables provides the basis for linguistically motivated speech recognition using the previously reported not...
متن کاملThe right-hemispheric auditory cortex in humans is sensitive to degraded speech sounds.
We investigated how degraded speech sounds activate the auditory cortices of the left and right hemisphere. To degrade the stimuli, we introduce uniform scalar quantization, a controlled and replicable manipulation, not used before, in cognitive neuroscience. Three Finnish vowels (/a/, /e/ and /u/) were used as stimuli for 10 participants in magnetoencephalography registrations. Compared with t...
