No Causal Role for Premotor Cortex in the Perception or Misperception of Degraded Speech: Evidence from Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Abstract. Although listeners can enhance perception by using prior knowledge to predict the content of degraded speech signals, this process can also elicit “misperceptions.” The neurobiological mecha...

Very happy to see @vtolkacheva.bsky.social's paper on the role of sublexical information in perception and misperception of speech now open access in Journal of Memory & Language: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @profkatie.bsky.social (7 experiments!!)

Exploring the role of sublexical information in speech perception and misperception

Listeners are able to use previously acquired knowledge to predict the content of upcoming speech when the latter signal is distorted or degraded. How…
