Abstract
The mechanisms by which human speech is processed in the brain are rev iewed from both behavioral and neurobiological perspectives. Special c onsideration is given to the separation of speech processing as a comp lex acoustic-processing task versus a linguistic task. Relevant animal research is reviewed, insofar as these data provide insight into the neurobiological basis of complex acoustic processing in the brain.
