New BBS article w/ @lauragwilliams.bsky.social and Hinze Hogendoorn, just accepted! We respond to a thought-provoking article by @smfleming.bsky.social & @matthiasmichel.bsky.social, and argue that it's premature to conclude that conscious perception is delayed by 350-450ms: bit.ly/4nYNTlb

🗣️ How strongly speech amplitude fluctuations are encoded in brain activity of people with aphasia holds promise as biomarker! 🧠

👉Check out our new paper led by Pieter De Clercq

Neural tracking of natural speech: an effective marker for post-stroke aphasia

The study examined brain responses to natural speech, i.e. neural tracking, in post-stroke aphasia. Individuals with aphasia exhibited reduced neural track

We’re excited about our first paper looking at speech encoding in single neurons across the depth of human cortex. Out today in @nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... [1/6]

Large-scale single-neuron speech sound encoding across the depth of human cortex - Nature

High-density single-neuron recordings show diverse tuning for acoustic and phonetic features across layers in human auditory speech cortex.
