Chronic acoustic degradation via cochlear implants alters predictive processing of audiovisual speech

This study shows that cochlear implants alter neural predictive processing of audiovisual speech by disrupting pre-target beta power decreases in CI users compared to normal-hearing controls.

In the words of others: ERP evidence of speaker-specific phonological prediction

The paper investigates speaker-specific phonological prediction by analyzing ERP responses to predictable and unpredictable words spoken by native and foreign-accented speakers.

Adaptive Prediction: The Brain Trades Phonemic for Semantic Expectations Under Acoustic Uncertainty

This study investigates how acoustic uncertainty affects speech processing by examining neural responses to speech from single vs. multiple talkers, finding a shift from phonemic to semantic prediction.

The role of the Frontal Aslant tract in bilingual language control

This study examines the role of the Frontal Aslant tract in bilingual language control by comparing unimodal and bimodal bilinguals, finding distinct associations with language production tasks.

When inefficient speech-motor control affects speech comprehension: atypical electrophysiological correlates of language prediction in stuttering

This study examines electrophysiological correlates of language prediction in adults who stutter compared to typically fluent adults, finding atypical patterns in predictive processing.

Commonalities in alpha and beta neural desynchronizations during prediction in language comprehension and production

The paper shows that alpha and beta desynchronizations occur during prediction in both language comprehension and production tasks, indicating shared neural mechanisms.
