The study of speech processing and auditory perception encompasses the investigation of how the human brain deciphers complex acoustic signals into meaningful linguistic units. At its core, this ...

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

Finding the truth online about central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) proves to be very difficult, as there is no accurate summary of research. Biases in your own search terms and the search ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature. Study: Early maturation of sound duration ...

Research has shown that a music-related hobby boosts language skills and affects the processing of speech in the brain. According to a new study, the reverse also happens—learning foreign languages ...

What happens when you listen to speech at a different speed? Neuroscientists thought that your brain may turn up its processing speed as well. But it turns out that at least the auditory part of the ...

This study presents a potentially valuable exploration of the role of thalamic nuclei in language processing. The results will be of interest to researchers interested in the neurobiology of language.
