Phase alignment of low-frequency neural activity to the amplitude envelope of speech reflects evoked responses to acoustic edges, not oscillatory entrainment

Posted by klaurent UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang | Authors: Yulia Oganian, Katsuaki Kojima, Assaf Breska, Chang Cai, Anne Findlay, Edward F Chang and Srikantan Nagarajan | Summary: Abstract The amplitude envelope of speech is crucial for accurate comprehension. Considered a key stage in speech processing, the phase of neural activity in the theta-delta bands (1 – 10 Hz) […]
