Topic: voice processing

For social animals, successfully communicating with others is essential for interactions and survival. My research aims to answer a central question on the neuronal basis of this ability, from the perspective of the listener: how do our brains enable us to communicate with each other? My work develops nonhuman animal models to study the behavioural and neuronal mechanisms underlying the perception of vocal patterns. I will start by providing an overview of my past research characterizing the neuronal-level substrates of voice processing along the primate temporal lobe. I will then focus on my
