Segregation of vowels and consonants in human auditory cortex: Evidence for distributed hierarchical organization

The speech signal consists of a continuous stream of consonants and vowels, which must be de– and encoded in human auditory cortex to ensure the robust recognition and categorization of speech sounds. We used small-voxel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study information encoded in lo...
