X Abstract

To test for the feature specificity of adaptation of auditory-cortex magnetoencephalographic N1m responses to phonemes during lipreading, we presented eight healthy volunteers with a simplified sine-wave first-formant (F1) transition shared by /ba/, /ga/, and /da/, and a continuum of second-formant (F2) transitions contained in /ba/ (ascending), /da/ (level), and /ga/ (descending), during lipreading of /ba/ vs. /ga/ vs. a still-face baseline. N1m responses to the F1 transition were suppressed during lipreading, further, visual /ga/ (vs. /ba/) significantly suppressed left-hemisphere N1m responses to the F2 transition contained in /ga/. This suggests that visual speech activates and adapts auditory cortex neural populations tuned to formant transitions, the basic sound-sweep constituents of phonemes, potentially explaining enhanced speech perception during lipreading.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
