Preface and Acknowledgments
This book is intended for those who want to deal more closely with the field of spoken language processing as well as with the field of speech acquisition and its neurobiological modeling. Currently, researchers in this field primarily use imaging techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These methods reveal the location of speech processing modules in the brain and their interaction with one another. The question we explore in this book is: what are the functional neural mechanisms for speech processing and speech learning and how are they implemented with neurons? Additionally, how are those neural networks built up within individual speech processing modules during speech acquisition and learning? While we cannot fully answer these questions, we provide preliminary answers and future research directions. Part I of the book is an introduction to speech pr
