The neuroscience of politics
I normally try not to think about government or politics much. It just frustrates me. But with the U.S. government shut down, I'm kind of forced to think about it. I'm in the middle of a batch of National Institutes of Health grant proposal reviews. I'm a sitting member of a study section in the Deafness and Communication Disorders Institute (NIDCD). Reviews are due this Friday. Study section meeting is next Friday in Washington DC. Being a responsible citizen of the scientific community, I carried on with my reviews today. But of course when I went to log on to the NIH Inter...

Research Assistantships, Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), Philadelphia/Elkins Park, PA.
The language labs at MRRI —
Language and Aphasia (Dir.: Dr. Myrna Schwartz); Language and Learning (Dir.:
Dr. Erica Middleton) — are recruiting for two BA/BS-level research assistant
positions, for Fall 2013 or Spring 2014. Research assistants will engage in NIH-funded
research on language processing in typical speakers and those with post-stroke
aphasia. We seek in our research to
understand how words are learned and retrieved in speech, how these processes
are affected by stroke, and how word production deficits can be ameliorated by
treatment. Our RAs gain valuable experience with language-impaired patie...

Tribute to Ken Stevens -- Guest post by Sheila Blumstein
Ken Stevens
passed away last week. He was without question one of the giants in the field
of speech. His contributions are legion – he is best known for the quantal theory of speech, a theoretical
framework that ‘explains’ the mapping between acoustic and articulatory events
and the basis for the finite inventory of speech sounds found in natural
language. Ken proposed that there are regions in articulatory space which give
rise to small acoustic changes and other regions which give rise to large
acoustic changes. These areas of change define the fini...

Ken Stevens (1924-2013)
In case you haven't heard already, the speech community lost a true pioneer recently. Ken innovated from the beginning of his work and managed to stay highly relevant throughout his long and productive career. If you don't know of his work directly, you certainly know of it through the many researchers he influenced. He will be missed and long-remembered.

Visual speech input drives auditory cortex
We kind of already knew this. For example, early imaging work by Calvert and Co. showed that portions of auditory cortex activate during lip reading and electromagnetic recordings by van Wassenhove et al. showed that adding visual speech information to an auditory speech signal speeds up the N1 component of the cortical response to speech sounds. But there was still a little wiggle room in explaining these effects. Yes, lip reading activates auditory cortex but maybe this is just auditory imagery and with group averaged activations how do you know where you are exactly? And yes, the N1 is an early c...
