“…Acquired and developmental cases of phonagnosia confirm dissociable processing streams for person identification by voices, face, and names (Assal et al, 1981;Van Lancker and Kreiman, 1987;Neuner and Schweinberger, 2000;Roswandowitz et al, 2017a). However, interacting mechanisms primarily between voice-and face-identity have been found as well.…”

“…Potential candidate brain regions are the posterior and mid regions of superior temporal gyrus/sulcus (STG/S) (e.g., Belin et al, 2000;von Kriegstein and Giraud, 2004;Warren et al, 2006;Pernet et al, 2015;Roswandowitz et al, 2017a) and auditory regions such as the planum temporale (von Kriegstein et al, 2006b;Warren et al, 2006) and Heschl's gyrus (Formisano et al, 2008;Bonte et al, 2014), predominantly in the right hemisphere ( Figure 1B). Apperceptive phonagnosia may emerge due to dysfunction at this early stage of processing ( Figure 1A Stage II: At the stage of voice-identity recognition, a sense of familiarity is generated if the computed voice percept closely resembles a stored voice representation.…”

The voice contains elementary social communication cues, conveying speech, as well as paralinguistic information pertaining to the emotional state and the identity of the speaker. In contrast to vocal-speech and vocal-emotion processing, voice-identity processing has been less explored. This seems surprising, given the day-to-day significance of person recognition by voice. A valuable approach to unravel how voice-identity processing is accomplished is to investigate people who have a selective deficit in recognising voices. Such a deficit has been termed phonagnosia. In the present chapter, we provide a systematic overview of studies on phonagnosia and how they relate to current neurocognitive models of person recognition. We review studies that have characterised people who suffer from phonagnosia following brain damage (i.e. acquired phonagnosia) and also studies, which have examined phonagnosia cases without apparent brain lesion (i.e. developmental phonagnosia). Based on the reviewed literature, we emphasise the need for a careful behavioural characterisation of phonagnosia cases by taking into consideration the multistage nature of voice-identity processing and the resulting behavioural phonagnosia subtypes.

Categorizing human vocal signals depends on an integrated auditory‐frontal cortical network

Voice signals are relevant for auditory communication and suggested to be processed in dedicated auditory cortex (AC) regions. While recent reports highlighted an additional role of the inferior frontal cortex (IFC), a detailed description of the integrated functioning of the AC–IFC network and its task relevance for voice processing is missing. Using neuroimaging, we tested sound categorization while human participants either focused on the higher‐order vocal‐sound dimension (voice task) or feature‐based intensity dimension (loudness task) while listening to the same sound material. We found differential involvements of the AC and IFC depending on the task performed and whether the voice dimension was of task relevance or not. First, when comparing neural vocal‐sound processing of our task‐based with previously reported passive listening designs we observed highly similar cortical activations in the AC and IFC. Second, during task‐based vocal‐sound processing we observed voice‐sensitive responses in the AC and IFC whereas intensity processing was restricted to distinct AC regions. Third, the IFC flexibly adapted to the vocal‐sounds' task relevance, being only active when the voice dimension was task relevant. Forth and finally, connectivity modeling revealed that vocal signals independent of their task relevance provided significant input to bilateral AC. However, only when attention was on the voice dimension, we found significant modulations of auditory‐frontal connections. Our findings suggest an integrated auditory‐frontal network to be essential for behaviorally relevant vocal‐sounds processing. The IFC seems to be an important hub of the extended voice network when representing higher‐order vocal objects and guiding goal‐directed behavior.
