Understanding others’ speech while individuals simultaneously produce utterances implies neural competition and requires specific mechanisms for a resolution given that previous studies proposed opposing signal dynamics both processes in the auditory cortex (AC). We here used neuroimaging humans to investigate this by lateralized stimulations with other samples ipsilateral or contralateral feed...

Objective speech evaluation using acoustic measurement is needed for the proper rehabilitation of maxillectomy patients. For digital evaluation of consonants, measurement of voice onset time is one option. However, voice onset time has not been measured in maxillectomy patients as their consonant sound spectra exhibit unique characteristics that make the measurement of voice onset time challeng...
