Synopsis

Speech perception has been the focus of innumerable studies over the past decades. While our abilities to recognize individuals by their voice state plays a central role in our everyday social interactions, limited scientific attention has been devoted to the perceptual and cerebral mechanisms underlying nonverbal information processing in voices.

The Oxford Handbook of Voice Perception takes a comprehensive look at this emerging field and presents a selection of current research in voice perception. The forty chapters summarise the most exciting research from across several disciplines covering acoustical, clinical, evolutionary, cognitive, and computational perspectives.

In particular, this handbook offers an invaluable window into the development and evolution of the 'vocal brain', and considers in detail the voice processing abilities of non-human animals or human infants. By providing a full and unique perspective on the recent developments in this burgeoning area of study, this text is an important and interdisciplinary resource for students, researchers, and scientific journalists interested in voice perception.

À propos de l?auteur

Sascha Frühholz is currently SNSF Professor for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychology at University of Zurich, Switzerland. He is also with the Neuroscience Center Zurich, Switzerland and the Zurich Center for Integrative Human Physiology, Switzerland. He has established a unique line of research into dynamic brain patterns during the production and perception of socio-affective information in voices.

Pascal Belin is professor of Neuroscience at Aix-Marseille Université and heads the Neural Bases of Communication research team at the Institut de Neuroscience de La Timone in Marseille, France. He has pioneered an original line of research on the cerebral bases of voice perception that he is now developing along an evolutionary dimension.
