| summary | Speech comprehension is a perceptual and cognitive task that is fulfilled in a surprisingly robust and effortless manner. I will present a series of fMRI and EEG studies that aim at disentangling mechanisms and functional neuroanatomy of our speech comprehension system.
Specifically, they ask and propose answers to (i) how does the comprehension system deal with noise at the auditory entry level?, (ii) which are key contextual influences that aid speech comprehension when the signal quality drops?, and (iii) what is the functional circuitry within and across auditory cortex that copes with such speech comprehension difficulties ? |
