The Oxford Handbook of Voice Perception

Sascha Frühholz is currently SNSF Professor for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychology at University of Zurich, Switzerland. He is also with the Neuroscience Center Zurich, Switzerland and the Zurich Center for Integrative Human Physiology, Switzerland. He has established a unique line of research into dynamic brain patterns during the production and perception of socio-affective information in voices.Pascal Belin is professor of Neuroscience at Aix-Marseille Université and heads the Neural Bases of Communication research team at the Institut de Neuroscience de La Timone in Marseille, France. He has pioneered an original line of research on the cerebral bases of voice perception that he is now developing along an evolutionary dimension.
