Sound induced activity in voice sensitive cortex predicts voice memory ability

Sound induced activity in voice sensitive cortex predicts voice memory ability

The ‘temporal voice areas’ (TVAs) (Belin et al., 2000) of the human brain show greater neuronal activity in response to human voices than to other categories of nonvocal sounds. However, a direct link between TVA activity and voice perceptionbehaviour has not yet been established. Here we show that...
