Thrilled: my PhD work “Reconstructing voice identity from noninvasive auditory cortex recordings” is now in @elife.bsky.social DNNs model human temporal voice areas & can reconstruct speaker identity from fMRI. Ty to supervisors, co authors, CERIMED & participants elifesciences.org/articles/98047

Reconstructing voice identity from noninvasive auditory cortex recordings

A low-dimensional voice latent space derived from deep learning captures speaker-identity representations in the temporal voice areas and supports reconstruction of voices preserving identity information.

New preprint! 🔗 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Are cortical rhythms entrained by speech or simply evoked? 👉 Evoked. TL;DR: Speech acoustics already carry the nested theta–gamma structure seen in auditory cortex. Using advanced signal analyses, stereoEEG data, and speech corpora (17 languages). 🧵👇

Work led by Margherita Giamundo’s postdoc work, just out in Science Advances! Using fMRI-guided electrophysiology in macaques, she discovered neurons in the anterior temporal lobe that respond specifically to voice identity! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Do birds tune their songs to their hearing? Is there tight coevolution between avian vocal signals and hearing-or do signallers and perceivers evolve more loosely? It turns out perfect tuning is not required... Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #bioacoustics #prattle 💬 #ornithology 🪶

Happy to announce my first postdoc preprint at @bathellierlab.bsky.social on offset responses in the auditory system! We found although these responses are found throughout the central auditory system, they provide richer information about elapsed sounds in the auditory cortex. tinyurl.com/3y2nvpr9

tinyurl.com

Sound offset responses become highly informative in the auditory cortex

The entire auditory system downstream of the cochlea features pronounced offset responses, which follow the termination of sounds. Because of their ubiquity, it is still an unsolved question whether o...
