This study shows that individual brain rhythms play an important role in how we process speech. People with strong auditory-motor synchronization may benefit more from the interaction between auditory and motor brain systems, while others rely more on their auditory system and working memory.

We had a look at a question I am really excited about: does an individuals intrinsic brain rhythm predict speech tracking and comprehension? And how do speech motor and auditory rhythms work together? by Christina Lubinus, @annekeitel.bsky.social @jonasobleser.bsky.social @davidpoeppel.bsky.social

Speech comprehension is thought to depend on #auditory - #motor interactions via brain rhythms. This study by @johannarimmele.bsky.social &co links theta and motor rhythms to stronger #speech tracking, the latter among those with high auditory-motor synchronization. 🧪 #AcademicSky plos.io/4fDnKY0
Individuals recruit brain rhythms for speech processing through different processing routes. Conceptual illustration of the involvement of intrinsic brain rhythms in speech processing. The image symbolizes our finding that only individuals with high auditory-motor synchronization behavior recruit intrinsic brain rhythms of speech motor brain areas for speech processing.

New paper by @avbarchet.bsky.social from Gesa Hartwigsen’s group, @jonasobleser.bsky.social @ae.mpg.de @mpicbs.bsky.social We suggest attentional filtering during comprehension requires target enhancement and distractor suppression at different hierarchical levels www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

How does the brain track rhythms—and can we hack it? In our new study, just published @plosbiology.org, we dive deeper into neural entrainment—how the brain synchronizes to rhythms in our environment—and explore whether transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can modulate this process.

Sensory stimuli dominate over rhythmic electrical stimulation in modulating behavior
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) modulates entrainment to rhythmic auditory stimuli, but the details of this interaction are not clear. This study shows that the effects of tACS dep...

Very happy to see this out! In this work I demonstrate the potential of OPMs for laminar MEG and investigate the impact of factors such as sensor counts, number of measurement axes, co-registration errors, misestimated forward models… Already looking forward to Imaging Neuroscience’s 2025 collage!
