Topic: fundamental frequency

In natural speech, the harmonic pattern of a speaker’s fundamental frequency (f0) and its higher harmonics elicits a neural response at the fundamental frequency which can be captured by electroencephalography (EEG) or magnetoencephalography (MEG), termed speech-FFR. While EEG measurements have found a subcortically evoked early neural activity to this speech-FFR, MEG studies have recently emphasized involvement of cortical sources as well. Here, we focused on disentangling the sources of the neural response at the fundamental frequency of speech using EEG-based source localization. We theref
