Hearing, seeing, and feeling speech: A pilot EEG study

Abstract

A large number of EEG studies have shown that auditory-visual signals lead to a neurophysiological processing advantage compared to auditory-only signals. Behavioral speech perception studies have shown that tactile stimuli can also enhance auditory speech perception. This EEG study was designed to identify whether congruent auditory-tactile speech information leads to similar neurophysiological processing advantages as those shown in auditory-visual studies.
