Neural Modeling of Speech Production
Frank H. Guenther · 2001
. This paper describes a neural model of speech production and perception-production interactions. This model has been developed to account for a wide variety of experimental data, ranging from kinematic analyses of articulator movements to functional imaging studies of the human brain. We have also tested predictions based on the model with these and other experimental techniques. Hypothesized neural correlates of the models components have been identified to facilitate testing of model predictions with techniques such as fMRI. The model also serves as a framework for interpreting and organizing the accumulating mass of data from functional imaging studies of the human brain. 1.
