Characterizing the recovery of spectral, temporal, and phonemic speech information from visual cues
Project Summary Auditory speech perception is essential for social, vocational, and emotional health in hearing individuals. However, the reliability of auditory signals varies widely in everyday settings (e.g., at a crowded party), requiring supplemental processes to enable accurate speech perception. The principle mechanisms that support the perception of degraded auditory speech signals are auditory-visual (crossmodal) interactions, which can perceptually restore speech content using visual cues provided by lipreading, rhythmic articulatory movements, and the natural correlations present between oral resonance and mouth shape. Moreover, receptive speech processes can be limited through a…
