    About this ebook

    This book devotes attention to both theoretical and applied problems simultaneously. Many applied problems turn out to be very difficult and they often need deep theoretical insight in order to get solved. In fact, applied problems often serve as a source of inspiration for theoretical work, since they usually are beyond reach of present theories and may show us in what direction theories need to be developed.
    The layout of the book is a reflection of the three main areas of research at the Institute for Perception Research: Hearing and Speech, Vision and Reading, Cognition and Communication. Following the set-up of the workshop, the organization of the papers is in pairs, such that the odd-numbered chapters are generally reactions to the even-numbered chapters.

      Brain ‘Tunes In’ to Rhythm in Sign Language and Speech

      Jun 9, 2017

      The way the brain locks into patterns of speech is not unique to understanding spoken language, a new study suggests. The process, called entrainment, is also part of understanding sign language. The human brain works in rhythms and cycles. These pat

      Ability And Heritability

      Sep 1, 2018

      The mere mention of measuring intelligence, let alone estimating its heritability, is to many the reddest of red rags. So much so that the Board of Scientific Affairs of the American Psychiatric Association felt obliged to begin its 1995 report on ‘I

      Pitch Discovery Could Lead to Better Cochlear Implants
