Subject: [AUDITORY] Nottingham Hearing Sciences Seminar: Pascal Belin From: Joseph Sollini <000001a2580f3fe3-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2023 17:58:29 +0000 --_000_VI1PR06MB492835AB7D24AA9814F24795C5A19VI1PR06MB4928eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, We are delighted to announce our next speaker will Prof. Pascal Belin (Aix= -Marseille University, Institut des Neurosciences de La Timone) will be spe= aking "On The Cerebral Processing of Voice Information and its evolution" o= n Thursday the 23rd of February (2pm GMT). Bio: Pascal Belin graduated from Ecole Polytechnique de Paris in 1992 and comple= ted in 1997 his doctoral thesis in Cognitive Sciences on the cerebral bases= of language lateralization at Service Hospitalier Fr=E9d=E9ric Joliot, Ors= ay. During his postdoctoral stay at McGill University in Prof. Robert Zator= re's lab their discovery of the "voice areas" of the human brain in 2000 or= iented his scientific career towards the study of the Vocal Brain. Pascal Belin was appointed Assistant Professor in Psychology at University = of Montreal in 2001, then Professor of Neuroscience at Glasgow University i= n 2005. In 2012, he joined Aix-Marseille University and the Timone Neurosci= ence Institute<https://www.int.univ-amu.fr/> where he has since been leadin= g the "Neural Bases of Communication<https://neuralbasesofcommunication.eu/= >" research team. Pascal Belin<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=3D9PF-MhQAAAAJ&hl=3D= fr> has published more than 130 scientific articles in international journa= ls, cited more than 20,000 times. He the co-editor with Prof. Sascha Fr=FCh= holz of the recent Oxford Handbook of Voice Perception that gathers 50 cont= ributions from leading researchers in the emerging domain of Voice Informat= ion Science. In 2018 he was awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Res= earch Council for the project COVOPRIM: A Comparative Study of Voice Percep= tion in Primates. A brief abstract for the talk can be found below: The human voice is the most important sound category in our auditory enviro= nment: because it carries speech, but also because it is an "auditory face"= which we are expert at decoding. Neuroimaging studies have identified Temp= oral Voice Areas (TVAs) in the human auditory cortex, key nodes of a cerebr= al network of cortical and subcortical areas involved in processing voice i= nformation. But are the TVAs uniquely human? Comparative fMRI reveals that = macaque monkeys also possess TVAs that are not only analogous, but also fun= ctionally homologous to the human TVAs in categorizing conspecific vocaliza= tions apart from other sounds. This indicates a long evolutionary history o= f the vocal brain.
