#aprosodia
I've had a tyro's interest in aprosodia since med school. This is a novel way to approach the functional anatomy of #prosody.
Go @tamaregev! Tamar systematically characterized prosody-processing🧠areas using precision fMRI.
The overlap between the prosody and language areas connects beautifully with her computational findings of high mutual information between words and prosodic features! Such a cool research program. :)
New preprint on prosody in the brain!

Prosody areas are distinct from pitch, speech, and multiple-demand areas, and partly overlap with lang+social areas→🧵

A mí una señora en una biblioteca me pidió ayuda con su ordenador, y luego me preguntó que si era francés.
(A pesar de la aprosodia y hablar en bajito, tener pelo y ojos marronazos no cuelan como muy franceses 🤣)

Emotional #aprosodia is a deficit in producing and/or understanding emotion conveyed through tone of voice. Often occurs after damage to the brain’s #RightHemisphere.
