Newswise — You can’t call it a dictionary just yet, but University of Delaware neuroscientist Joshua Neunuebel is starting to break the code mice use to communicate with each other. So far, it’s all action-specific. Mice sound one way when they are being chased, quite another when they are […]

How the brain can create sound information via lip-reading

Click here to view original web page at www.sciencedaily.com

Brain activity synchronizes with sound waves, even without audible sound, through lip-reading, according to new research published in JNeurosci . Listening to speech activates our auditory cortex to synchronize with the rhythm of incoming sound waves. Lip-reading is a useful aid to comprehend unintelligible speech, but we still don’t […]
