Hierarchical Uncertainty Transformation During Multimodal Comprehension

This study investigates how uncertainty is transformed during multimodal comprehension through a hierarchical framework tested in gesture-speech experiments.

Bilateral Human Laryngeal Motor Cortex in Perceptual Decision of Lexical Tone and Voicing of Consonant

The paper investigates the role of bilateral laryngeal motor cortex in speech perception using transcranial magnetic stimulation and psychometric models, finding left-lateralized engagement with right upregulation in noise.

TMS reveals a two-stage priming circuit of gesture-speech integration

The paper uses TMS to investigate the time course of gesture-speech integration, finding that speech is primed before gestures are unified with speech to form meaning.

Progressive neural organization across the IFG and pMTG tracks gesture-speech information-theoretic structure

The paper quantifies gesture and speech information using information-theoretic metrics and shows how neural representations in IFG and pMTG track stimulus-level information-theoretic structure across different modalities.
