Explicit encoding of multimodal percepts by single neurons in the human brain. (2009, neutral): “Brain imaging studies have identified cortical areas selective to voices [5,6] and visual word forms [7,8].”
Assessing the auditory dual-pathway model in humans (2004, background): “Several positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies support such a model (Alain et al., 2001; Belin and Zatorre, 2000; Belin et al., 2000; Bushara et al., 1999; Maeder et al., 2001; Weeks et al., 1999; Zatorre et al., 2002).”
The neuroanatomical and functional organization of speech perception. (2003, background): “At the anterolateral edge of the planum temporale, activation is seen in response to both speech and nonspeech sounds with no clear differentiation [40,42, 59 ,60] (Box 2), whereas a left-sided region posterior to the core in the medial PT [57] is activated during articulation, whether the subject s”
Combining multivariate voxel selection and support vector machines for mapping and classification of fMRI spatial patterns (2008, neutral): “…the notion of a ‘what’ auditory processing stream originating in the superior temporal areas, anterior to the Heschl's gyrus (Belin and Zatorre 2000a, Belin et al., 2000b, Rauschecker and Tian, 2000, Lewis et al., 2005) and with recent fMRI studies which point to a relevant role of STS in the…”
A systems approach to appraisal mechanisms in emotion (2005, neutral): “…that anger heard in meaningless speech sounds evokes an increased neural activation in the middle portion of the superior temporal sulcus (STS), corresponding to one of the human brain areas previously reported to exhibit voice-selective responses (Belin, Zatorre, Lafaille, Ahad, & Pike, 2000).”
Audiovisual integration of emotional signals in voice and face: An event-related fMRI study (2007, background): “In a second step regions of interest (ROI) were defined on the basis of studies describing the location of voice-sensitive (Belin et al., 2000; Fecteau et al., 2004) and face-sensitive (Haxby et al.”
Emotion and attention interactions in social cognition: Brain regions involved in processing anger prosody (2005, neutral): “This region corresponds to one of the human brain areas previously reported to exhibit voice-selective responses (Belin et al., 2000), suggesting a category-selective modulation of auditory processing by vocal expression of emotion.”
Mouth and Voice: A Relationship between Visual and Auditory Preference in the Human Superior Temporal Sulcus (2017, background): “The pSTS is also known to respond strongly to auditory stimuli, especially speech sounds (Belin et al., 2000; Binder et al., 2000; Vouloumanos et al., 2001; Wise et al., 2001; Fecteau et al., 2004; Shultz et al., 2012).”
Spectral and temporal processing in human auditory cortex. (2001, background): “STS also responds to increasing spectral complexity fits with recent fMRI findings that STS areas are sensitive to the acoustic shape of human vocal sounds ( Belin et al., 2000 ), since both situations would require sensitivity to subtle changes in spectral energy distribution.”
What is right-hemisphere contribution to phonological, lexico-semantic, and sentence processing?: Insights from a meta-analysis (2011, neutral): “T1R was activated bilaterally during tasks where an auditory stimulus was presented to the subjects contrasted to low-level references; this area was also bilaterally active during listening to vocal sounds compared with non-vocal sounds (Belin et al., 2000), syllable perception tasks such as listen”
The COGs (context, object, and goals) in multisensory processing (2016, background): “Shedding more light on the interdependencies within multisensory processes as well as between respective forms of top-down control is a critical next step to advance our understanding of sensory processing in real-world environments.”
The analysis of speech in different temporal integration windows: cerebral lateralization as 'asymmetric sampling in time' (2003, background): “An increasing body of data suggests that cortical fields in the right temporal lobe along the superior temporal gyrus and superior temporal sulcus (in addition to primary auditory projection areas) play a critical role in the analysis of the speech signal (Buchman et al., 1986; Belin et al., 2000; ”
