TL;DR: The results suggest that the asymmetrical distributions of gaze fixations reflect the participants' viewing preferences, rather than being a product of asymmetrical faces, but that this behavioural bias does not predict correct audiovisual speech perception.

TL;DR: This work extends the analysis to full facial motion under the assumption that the process of producing speech acoustics generates linguistically salient visual information, which is distributed over large portions of the face, which could become a useful experimental tool, providing synthetic audiovisual stimuli with realistic control parameters.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate significant improvement in fSNR using HAMMER compared to analysis after normalization using DARTEL, or conventional normalization such as cosine basis function and unified segmentation in SPM, with more precisely localized activation foci, at least for activation in the region of auditory cortex.

TL;DR: An assessment of prosodic perception for an amateur musician, KB, who became amusic following a right-hemisphere stroke, whose segmental speech perception was preserved but was unable to discriminate pitch or rhythm patterns in linguistic or musical stimuli.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the compensatory production for formant perturbation operates at a purely acoustic level was rejected, suggesting that some level of phonological processing influences the feedback processing behavior.
