Dissociating contributions of the motor cortex to speech perception and response bias by using transcranial magnetic stimulation (2014)
Journal Article
Smalle, E. H., Rogers, J., & Möttönen, R. (2015). Dissociating contributions of the motor cortex to speech perception and response bias by using transcranial magnetic stimulation. Cerebral Cortex, 25(10), https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhu218

Recent studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have demonstrated that disruptions of the articulatory motor cortex impair performance in demanding speech perception tasks. These findings have been interpreted as support for t...

Effect of attentional load on audiovisual speech perception: evidence from ERPs (2014)
Journal Article
Alsius, A., Möttönen, R., Sams, M. E., Soto-Faraco, S., & Tiippana, K. (in press). Effect of attentional load on audiovisual speech perception: evidence from ERPs. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, Article 727. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00727

Seeing articulatory movements influences perception of auditory speech. This is often reflected in a shortened latency of auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) generated in the auditory cortex. The present study addressed whether this early neural... Read More about Effect of attentional load on audiovisual speech perception: evidence from ERPs.

Discrimination of speech and non-speech sounds following theta-burst stimulation of the motor cortex (2014)
Journal Article
Rogers, J. C., Möttönen, R., Boyles, R., & Watkins, K. E. (2014). Discrimination of speech and non-speech sounds following theta-burst stimulation of the motor cortex. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, Article 754. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00754

Perceiving speech engages parts of the motor system involved in speech production. The role of the motor cortex in speech perception has been demonstrated using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to suppress motor excit...

Attention fine-tunes auditory-motor processing of speech sounds (2014)
Journal Article
Möttönen, R., van de Ven, G., & Watkins, K. (2014). Attention fine-tunes auditory-motor processing of speech sounds. Journal of Neuroscience, 34(11), https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2214-13.2014

The earliest stages of cortical processing of speech sounds take place in the auditory cortex. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have provided evidence that the human articulatory motor cortex contributes also to speech processing. For...
