Delta rhythm

…coding, constrained by endogenous rhythms, accounts for these quizzical results and enables robust lexical speech recovery. We build upon the major hypotheses that the rhythmic st

…is a paradigmatic example where rhythms have been proposed to play a key role [1], with a speech-modulated hierarchical structure of intercoupled cortical oscillations correlating with successful comprehension. Experiments show that speech recognition remains largely intact when compressed up to a certain temporal factor [2] and the re-spacing of chunks of incomprehensible compressed speech with silences recovers comprehension. We hypothesize that rhythm-based top-down semantic context inferen

Rhythms stretching across multiple interacting frequencies and spatial scales are ubiquitous in brain activity during complex cognitive tasks. Yet their functional significance is hotly debated between a structural epiphenomenon of brain activity and mechanisms implementing computations. Speech processing, with its temporal cadence and multi-scale of syntactic invariants (syllables, words), is a paradigmatic example where rhythms have been proposed to play a key role [1], with a speech-modulated hierarchical structure of intercoupled cortical oscillations correlating with successful comprehens
