Discussion

Investigating neural responses in auditory imagery and perception between speech and environmental sounds, revealing categorical processing.

Auditory imagery engages similar neural processes as auditory perception, indicating categorical processing.
Participants learned to associate shapes with sounds, which were used to explore differences in neural responses.
The P2 event-related potential was larger for perceived speech sounds compared to environmental sounds, highlighting distinct processing.
Findings suggest that neural processing of imagined sounds reflects categorical distinctions similar to actual perception.

Leeman et al. (2025) studied this question.
