Neural correlates of nonmonotonic temporal acuity for voice onset time Donal G. Sinex, Lynn P. McDonald, & John B. Mott Chelsea Simmons
Objective • Patterns of neural activity have not been compared to psychophysical measurements from the same species for speech sounds • May show how acoustic properties of speech sounds interact with general mechanisms of auditory system to sort the stimuli into discrete perceptual classes • Studies using tones and masking indicate that the performance of the peripheral auditory system limits the sensitivity of the whole animal
