Listening while speaking: new behavioral evidence for articulatory-to-auditory feedback projections

چکیده
The existence of feedback control mechanisms from motor to sensory systems is a central idea in speech production research. Consistent with the view that articulation modulates the activity of the auditory cortex, it has been shown that silent articulation improved identification of concordant speech sounds [1]. In the present study, we replicated and extended this finding by demonstrating that, even in the case of perfect perceptual identification, concurrent mouthing of a syllable may speed the perceptual processing of auditory and auditoryvisual speech stimuli. These results provide new behavioral evidence for the existence of motor-to-sensory discharge in speech production and suggest a functional connection between action and perception systems.

The auditory representation of speech sounds in human motor cortex
In humans, listening to speech evokes neural responses in the motor cortex. This has been controversially interpreted as evidence that speech sounds are processed as articulatory gestures. However, it is unclear what information is actually encoded by such neural activity. We used high-density direct human cortical recordings while participants spoke and listened to speech sounds. Motor cortex ...
متن کاملMultivoxel patterns reveal functionally differentiated networks underlying auditory feedback processing of speech.
The everyday act of speaking involves the complex processes of speech motor control. An important component of control is monitoring, detection, and processing of errors when auditory feedback does not correspond to the intended motor gesture. Here we show, using fMRI and converging operations within a multivoxel pattern analysis framework, that this sensorimotor process is supported by functio...
متن کاملArticulatory movements modulate auditory responses to speech
Production of actions is highly dependent on concurrent sensory information. In speech production, for example, movement of the articulators is guided by both auditory and somatosensory input. It has been demonstrated in non-human primates that self-produced vocalizations and those of others are differentially processed in the temporal cortex. The aim of the current study was to investigate how...
متن کاملThe Sensory Consequences of Speaking: Parametric Neural Cancellation during Speech in Auditory Cortex
When we speak, we provide ourselves with auditory speech input. Efficient monitoring of speech is often hypothesized to depend on matching the predicted sensory consequences from internal motor commands (forward model) with actual sensory feedback. In this paper we tested the forward model hypothesis using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. We administered an overt picture naming task in wh...
متن کاملFacilitating speech detection in style!: the effect of visual speaking style on the detection of speech in noise
Speakers naturally modify the way they produce speech depending on the listening environment. A hyper-articulatory speaking style is typically employed when listening circumstances are difficult. In contrast, hypo-articulation is adopted when the elements for listening are favourable. Previous research suggests that the intentions of the speaker are realized in listener’s recognition of spoken ...
