Journal ArticleDOI

Detecting Awareness in the Vegetative State

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to demonstrate preserved conscious awareness in a patient fulfilling the criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state and the patient activated predicted cortical areas in a manner indistinguishable from that of healthy volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hierarchical Processing in Spoken Language Comprehension

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to explore the brain regions that are involved in spoken language comprehension, fractionating this system into sound-based and more abstract higher-level processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual Differences in Reward Drive Predict Neural Responses to Images of Food

TL;DR: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, this work reports that individual variation in trait reward sensitivity (as measured by the Behavioral Activation Scale) is highly correlated with activation to images of appetizing foods in a fronto–striatal–amygdala–midbrain network.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Neural Mechanisms of Speech Comprehension: fMRI studies of Semantic Ambiguity

TL;DR: Two functional magnetic resonance studies use the phenomenon of semantic ambiguity to identify regions within the fronto-temporal language network that subserve the semantic aspects of spoken language comprehension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Speech recognition in adverse conditions: A review

TL;DR: A review of the effects of adverse conditions (ACs) on the perceptual, linguistic, cognitive, and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech recognition is presented in this paper, where the authors advocate an approach to speech recognition that includes rather than neutralises complex listening environments and individual differences.
