Dog–human vocal interactions match dogs’ sensory-motor tuning journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... EEG neural tracking & behavioural responses to speech reveals that comprehension in dogs relies on a slower speech rhythm tracking (delta) than humans’ (theta) - wooooof?
Human-to-pet communication requires speech processing by the animal and adjustments of the human speaking rate to match their pet’s receptive abilities. This study shows that dogs and humans share sim...
Multimodal integration: Audio-visual integration by swarming mosquitoes sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Report on Gupta et al on mosquitoes integrating multiple sensory inputs in relation to swarming behaviour 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟 ahhh!
Mosquitoes are notorious for swarming. A new study shows that multi-sensory integration, in particular the way that male mosquitoes’ behavioural respo…

Left motor cortex contributes to auditory phonological discrimination academic.oup.com/cercor/artic... Used MEG to test: (i) the motor cortex is involved in phonological processing (ii) it aids in compensating for speech-in-noise challenges - activation in left ventral M1 & bilateral pSTG ...
Abstract. Evidence suggests that the articulatory motor system contributes to speech perception in a context-dependent manner. This study tested 2 hypothes
Infant vocal productions coincide with body movements onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1... Evidence spontaneous vocalizations of 9-24 mth infants recruit hand & head movements & precision of timing of co-activation vocal & extraneous muscle groups better with age & improves speech recognisability
Producing recognizable words is a difficult motor task; a one-syllable word can require the coordination of over 80 muscles. Thus, it is not surprising that the development of word productions in in.....
Temporal dynamics of coarticulatory cues to prediction www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... Behavioural gating study looked at the use of 'unfolding' predictive cues in anticipatory coarticulation of onset fricatives using forced choice word guess based on stimulus gates were made - Go Pelle!
The temporal dynamics of the perception of within-word coarticulatory cues remain a subject of ongoing debate in speech perception research. This behavioral ...

Cortical oscillations are modified by expertise in dance and music: Evidence from live dance audience onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Examined how watching live dance performance with music in a real-world dance performance setting engaged the brains (EEG) of dancers, musicians and novices
Individual differences in the consistency of neural and behavioural responses to speech sounds https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39218332/
Activation likelihood estimation meta-analyses onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Investigated the neural overlap of speech production & 3 speech perception conditions:Speech-in-noise, Spectrally degraded and Linguistically complex speech
This meta-analysis revealed a common neural network between speech production and challenging speech perception tasks, supporting the role of the motor system in facilitating perception under difficu....
