Abstract
Neuroscience Spoken communication demands coordination between auditory and motor aspects of language processing. Assaneo and Poeppel measured brain oscillations while humans listened to speech produced at different rates. Neural synchrony across auditory and motor speech areas was selectively enhanced at 4.5 Hz, a frequency corresponding to the mean syllable rate generated across human languages. Neural network simulations validated the findings, revealing an oscillatory mechanism for coupling sensory and motor codes of speech patterning. Sci. Adv. 10.1126/sciadv.aao3842 (2018).
