Changes in Neuronal Representations of Consonants in the Ascending Auditory System and Their Role in Speech Recognition

A fundamental task of the ascending auditory system is to produce representations that facilitate the recognition of complex sounds. This is particularly challenging in the context of acoustic variability, such as that between different talkers producing the same phoneme. These representations are t...
