Auditory Processing of Temporal Envelope in Speech and Music

Explore the neurobiological mechanisms underlying how the auditory system processes temporal envelope information in both speech and musical signals through this comprehensive lecture by Bertrand Delgutte from Johns Hopkins University's Center for Language & Speech Processing. Delve into the fundamental principles of auditory neuroscience as they relate to temporal processing, examining how the brain extracts and interprets envelope cues that are critical for speech comprehension and music perception. Learn about the neural pathways and computational processes involved in temporal envelope detection, the role of different frequency channels in envelope processing, and how these mechanisms contribute to our ability to understand spoken language and appreciate musical structure. Discover the research methodologies used to study auditory temporal processing, including neurophysiological recordings and computational modeling approaches. Gain insights into the clinical implications of temporal envelope processing deficits and their impact on hearing disorders, speech perception difficulties, and auditory processing disorders.
