The new neuroanatomy of speech perception
Associate Professor of Neurology, The Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
Our understanding of speech recognition processes has gradually advanced over the past 50 years, from a state of almost total ignorance to one of well-informed confusion. Technical advances introduced around the middle of the last century enabled detailed description of the spectral patterns and temporal phenomena that characterize vowels and consonants, and extensive perceptual studies were undertaken to determine the relative importance of different classes of these acoustic cues. Explicit theories of how consonant and vowel percepts (phonemes) arise from such cues were developed and implemented, resulting not only in the successful artificial synthesis of naturally sounding speech, but also in the more recent
