ABRs to both talkers became smaller and later with increasing fundamental frequency.

These changes were similar to click ABRs changes with stimulus rates.

New preprint with @maddox_lab!

[bioRxiv Neuroscience @biorxiv_neursci]

Fundamental frequency predominantly drives talker differences in auditory brainstem responses to continuous speech https://t.co/8jTxWzhUqs #biorxiv_neursci

Previous work has shown that human neural responses to male-and female- uttered speech differ.

We used the same talkers and found that when the male and female talker had the same fundamental frequency, auditory brainstem responses were similar.
