Abstract

Physiological studies of auditory perception have not yet clearly distinguished sensory from decision processes. In this experiment, human participants identified speech sounds masked by varying levels of noise while blood oxygenation signals in the brain were recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Accuracy and response time were used to characterize the behavior of sensory and decision components of this perceptual system. Oxygenation signals in a cortical subregion just anterior and lateral to primary auditory cortex predicted accuracy of sound identification, whereas signals in an inferior frontal region predicted response time. Our findings provide neurophysiological evidence for a functional distinction between sensory and decision mechanisms underlying auditory object identification. The present results also indicate a link between inferior frontal lobe activation and response-selection processes during auditory perception tasks.

  • Posterior inferior frontal activation (BA 44) is associated with articulatory recoding or decision mechanisms.

    “Consistent with previous reports, (i) posterior inferior frontal activation (BA 44) was associated with articulatory recoding (Burton et al., 2005) or decision mechanisms (Binder et al., 2004);”

  • In the anterior processing stream, activation is typically observed when acoustic complexity is not controlled, even when familiarity and conceptual content are matched by comparing speech to familiar environmental sounds.

    “A contrasting pattern of response was observed in the anterior processing stream where activation was typically observed when acoustic complexity was not controlled (Obleser et al., 2006; Uppenkamp et al., 2006; Binder et al., 2004), even when familiarity and conceptual content were matched by comparing speech to familiar environmental sounds (Specht and Reul, 2003; Thierry et al., 2003; Thierry”

  • In a speech sound identification task, BOLD fMRI of the auditory cortex reflected the signal-to-noise ratio (the quality of sensory information), whereas that of the inferior frontal cortex increased linearly with the reaction time.

    “In one study (Binder et al., 2004), a subject was asked to identify a speech sound in a noisy auditory stimulus, blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the auditory cortex was found to reflect the signal-to-noise ratio (the quality of sensory information), whereas that of the inferior frontal cortex increased linearly with the reaction time (an index of”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
