| Abstract(in English) | Prolonged listening to a repeated word without a pause produces a series of illusory transitions of the physically unchanging word, which is called verbal transformation. Verbal transformations provide a rare opportunity to examine how auditory percepts are formed in the brain. The left inferior frontal cortex (IFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and the left prefrontal cortex were activated when perceptual transitions from one verbal form to another occurred. The number of perceptual transitions showed positive and negative correlations with signal intensity in the left IFC and the left ACC, respectively. The results suggest that active generation of verbal forms is linked with articulatory gestures for speech production and that the frequency of perceptual transitions is determined by a balance of the activations between the two brain regions. |
