Intelligibility of reversed speech, Why?

[Yadong Wang <ydwang@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory list,

Saberi & Perrott ("Cognitive restoration of reversed speech," Nature 398:
760, 1999)
recently showed that local time reversal does not destroy intelligibility,
if the
time reversal window is brief.

(Please go to http://www.utdallas.edu/~assmann/TREV/trevdemo.html for the
details.)


Why is that?



Thanks.
