A Vocal Brain: Cerebral Processing of Voice Information

Résumé : The human voice carries speech but also a wealth of
socially-relevant, speaker-related information. Listeners routinely
perceive precious information on the speaker's identity (gender, age),
affective state (happy, scared), as well as more subtle cues on
perceived personality traits (attractiveness, dominance, etc.), strongly
influencing social interactions. Using voice psychoacoustics and
neuroimaging techniques, we examine the cerebral processing of
person-related information in perceptual and neural voice
representations. Results indicate a cerebral architecture of voice
cognition sharing many similarities with the cerebral organization of
face processing, with the main types of information in voices (identity,
affect, speech) processed in interacting, but partly dissociable
functional pathways.
