This research has implications for improving speech comprehension in challenging ... Moving rhythmically can facilitate naturalistic speech perception in a noisy environment, Proceedings of ...

Abstract: The cochlear implant (CI) is a sophisticated electronic device designed to partially restore hearing for individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss. To assess speech intelligibility in ...

They used fMRI data from healthy adults and intracranial recordings from electrodes implanted in patients with epilepsy during auditory and visual speech perception tasks. The findings revealed ...

enabling high speech comprehension even in echoic environments. Neural activity during speech perception is better explained by a model that processes direct speech and echoes as separate streams, not ...
