Speech is defined by theta-gamma coupled acoustic rhythms, mapped onto segregated populations in human early auditory cortex

2025-10-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Theta and gamma neural dynamics dominate the human auditory cortex during speech perception and have been proposed to track syllable boundaries and encode phonemic information, respectively. To what extent these rhythms are intrinsically generated or imposed by speech acoustics remains unsolved. Applying analytic methods from neuroscience to speech audio corpora from 17 languages, we found that...
