Cortical encoding of probabilistic temporal predictions during speech perception (2026, unknown): “…prediction has been primarily framed through the preferred timescales at which linguistic units unfold: phonemes around 10-15 Hz, syllables around 4–5 Hz, content words around 1–2 Hz, or slower supra-lexical structures such as phrases, sentences, and intonational units (11, 12, 15, 16, 26).”
Bridging verbal coordination and neural dynamics (2025, unknown): “Temporal adjustments possibly take advantage of the auditory input and are referred to as audio-motor interactions that can be modeled as a coupled oscillator (Poeppel & Assaneo, 2020).”
The human auditory cortex concurrently tracks syllabic and phonemic timescales via acoustic spectral flux (2024, unknown): “It furthermore cements the observation that the dynamics in the acoustic amplitude envelope approximates nearly perfectly the syllabic timescale in natural speech ( 10 , 11 , 21 , 27 ).”
Oscillatory entrainment to our early social or physical environment and the emergence of volitional control (2022, background): “A number of authors have discussed potential benefits of oscillatory entrainment (Haegens and Golumbic, 2018; Lakatos et al., 2019; Poeppel and Assaneo, 2020).”
Hierarchical consciousness: the Nested Observer Windows model (2024, background): “…into discrete perceptual cycles around 10Hz corresponding to electric fields in visual cortex (Callaway and Yeager 1960, VanRullen and Koch 2003, Hanslmayr et al. 2011, VanRullen 2016) and linguistic phonemes around 8Hz in auditory cortex (Ghitza 2013, Peelle et al. 2013, Poeppel and Assaneo 2020).”
Mental Activity as the Bridge between Neural Biomarkers and Symptoms of Psychiatric Illness (2022, background): “40 Thus, the strongest neural correlates for mental activity are likely low-frequency electrical activity in networks of brain regions.”
