About this Research Topic
The present topic aims at inviting research studies to advance the understanding of auditory disorders and their influence on the neural mechanisms of speech production and perception. The primary goal is to highlight neuroscience research that tackle challenging questions on how peripheral and central neural deficits in the auditory system would affect sensorimotor mechanisms implicated in speech production and perception. The broad-scope goal of the research topic is to promote knowledge for advancing the theoretical foundations of speech production as a model system as well as developing new technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions leading to speech sensorimotor disorders.
The research topic invites studies from a wide range of theoretical, empirical, and clinical research aiming at understanding the effects of auditory neural disorders on speech production and perception mechanisms. Preferred topics include but are not limited to areas listed below:
• Auditory processing disorder
• Hearing loss
• Auditory neuropathy
• Cochlear implant
• Auditory hallucination
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Alzheimer’s disease
• Parkinson’s disease
• Huntington’s disease
• Stuttering
• Tinnitus
• Stroke
