Social interactions in primates are possible through the ability to extract relevant information from voices, for example their identity. The anterior Temporal Voice Area (aTVA) is a region in the anterior temporal lobe of humans, macaques and marmosets specialized in the processing of voices, but the exact voice information represented by individual neurons in the aTVA remains obscure.Here we asked how aTVA neurons encode voice identity information, separating different identities and grouping together calls from a same identity. We implanted two rhesus macaques with high-density multi-electr
