Speech-Induced Suppression During Natural Dialogues

During human communication, the brain processes self-generated speech and others’ speech differently, a phenomenon known as the Speech-Induced Suppression (SIS) mechanism. This mechanism involves the motor efference copy in the perception pathway, functioning similar to an “echo” that helps filter internally generated signals to avoid confusing the...

Increases in Pre-Stimulus Theta and Alpha Oscillations Precede Successful Encoding of Crossmodal Associations

Enhancement of Theta and Alpha Oscillations Prior to Crossmodal Memory Encoding Background Episodic memory is a crucial component of human memory, with one of its core mechanisms being the formation of associations through stimuli from different sensory channels. Current theories suggest that during crossmodal associative encoding, the phase and po...
