Efficient neural coding in auditory and speech perception.

For: All,

This review explains that the brain is naturally tuned to process speech very efficiently, helping families affected by 16p11.2 understand why disruptions in auditory processing can make speech harder to follow—and why using clear, slower, well‑paced speech, reducing background noise, and pairing spoken language with visual supports can better align with how their child’s brain learns to hear and understand language.
