This model of the human brain depicts stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) electrode shafts (gray), each containing multiple electrode contacts (red cylinders), targeting three key areas for understanding speech: Heschl's gyrus (blue), the superior temporal gyrus (magenta), and the superior temporal sulcus (yellow). Yue Zhang and colleagues used sEEG to discover that presentation of visual information from the face of a talker together with auditory information from the voice of a talker evokes larger and faster neural responses in the superior temporal sulcus than auditory speech alone, corresponding to more accurate perception. See the article by Zhang et al. for more information on the role this brain region may play in audiovisual speech perception. Cover image: Zhengjia Wang and the RAVE software team
