Human brains implicitly and rapidly distinguish AI from human voices before decoding prosodic meaning

2026-04-09

Abstract excerpt

People encounter AI voices daily. Existing behavioral studies suggest listeners rely on prosodic cues such as intonation and expressiveness to detect audio deepfakes, reporting that AI voices sound prosodically less rich than human voices. To test whether prosodic processing drives deepfake discrimination in the neural time course of voice processing, we recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) data while participan...
