Pleased to share our preprint on what encoding of speech features can tell us about comprehension. Applying multiple acoustic and linguistic features within neural PCA, we achieve very high out-of-sample predictive accuracy for behavioural measures of understanding www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Flexible neural encoding predicts the comprehension of degraded speech

How listeners track a variable and continuous acoustic speech signal and parse it into meaningful linguistic representations is a question central to auditory neuroscience. Moreover, the resilience of...

Cognitive psych is often traced back to the 1950s. Psychology is often traced to Wundt's lab in 1879. Textbooks speak of "proto-psychologists" like Fechner & Helmholtz in the 1800s... Westerners all. Have you heard about Ibn al-Haytham, whose work predated them by 100s of years? 1/4
