The human auditory cortex concurrently tracks syllabic and phonemic timescales via acoustic spectral flux www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... iEEG.
1. syllabic & phonemic timescales both reflected in the acoustic spectral flux
2. cortex tracks syllabic timescale: theta range, phonemic via alpha-beta
The human auditory cortex concurrently tracks syllabic and phonemic timescales via acoustic spectral flux
Human auditory cortex tracks specific acoustic features, providing a multiscale temporal template for subsequent speech parsing.
