Visual speech enhances phoneme separability in human superior temporal gyrus
Visual speech, such as lipreading, facilitates spoken word recognition, but the neural mechanisms underlying audiovisual speech perception remain poorly understood. Visual cues may disambiguate fine-grained articulatory features during early perceptual stages or instead integrate with speech at more categorical, phoneme-level stages. To test how speech representations are modulated by visual…
