Where this record's text came from. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (html); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. Only ten participants in the main fMRI experiment, but the paper never flags sample size as a limitation, so it is not recorded as one — the three limitations listed are the ones the article states about itself. The paper also runs extensive internal control analyses (ROI erosion at 2/4/10 mm, inaudibility of the tactile stimuli, air-conduction headphone control, visual-cortex negative control) which function as robustness checks rather than as stated limitations. The 'replicates' relation to Beauchamp and Ro (2008) is the article's own statement that its parietal-operculum responses match theirs in magnitude; it is a consistency claim within a new experiment, not a formal replication study. The paper's predictive framing about predictive coding ('This key prediction should be tested in future experiments.') is a proposed future test, not the paper's own contribution shape. 2026-08-13 and 2026-08-15 schema-0.3 passes: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node.

phenomenonauditory frequency representation in somatosensory cortex— “Here we focus on temporal frequency processing in the human brain.”
claim-typeexistence— “Our results demonstrate that auditory frequency representations can be distributed over brain regions traditionally considered to be dedicated to somatosensation.”
method — evidence— “In this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we measured BOLD signal changes in participants performing an auditory frequency discrimination task and characterized activation patterns related to stimulus frequency using both univariate and multivariate analysis approaches.”
object of study — evidence— “Although the occurrence of multimodal responses in sensory cortex is no longer disputed, whether the responses to “non-preferred” modalities observed in sensory areas convey specific representations and how they relate to perception remain open questions.”
research question — evidence— “Even in cases where auditory stimulation has been shown to evoke distinct response signatures in somatosensory cortex ( Liang et al. 2013 ), it remains unclear whether these response patterns represent specific auditory information.”
contribution — evidence— “Moreover, using representational similarity analysis to define the relationships between multi-voxel activation patterns for all sound pairs, we found clear similarity patterns for auditory responses in the parietal lobe that correlated significantly with perceptual similarity judgments. Our results demonstrate that auditory frequency…
transferfrom multivariate pattern analysis: the cortical DM calculated for each ROI compared to the group perceptual DM, so that a high correlation indicates the representational geometry of the auditory stimuli in the ROI corresponds to the geometry of the stimuli in perceptual space— “To relate neural and perceptual representations of the auditory frequencies, we compared the cortical DM calculated for each ROI to the group perceptual DM. We computed the Spearman correlation between the perceptual DM and each participant’s cortical DMs. A high correlation in these analyses would indicate that the representational geometry…transfers[0]
transferfrom psychophysics: pairwise similarity ratings, collected outside the scanner and turned into a dissimilarity matrix— “Admittedly, our approach can be substantially improved in future studies. For instance, we compared the cortical dissimilarity measures to the perceptual dissimilarity judgments tested offline and averaged over subjects. We took this approach because the task performed during the discrimination scans, which was designed to ensure that…transfers[1]
transferfrom tactile texture perception: the 100 to 300 Hz range as the band where the two senses overlap, used to predict where parietal responses should stop— “The co-occurrence of auditory and somatosensory signals that are highly specific in the frequency domain may build audio-tactile associations in frequency-processing circuits through an extensive history of co-activation. In this framework, the auditory responses in parietal cortex could reflect predictive coding mechanisms in which hearing…transfers[2]
transferfrom primate single-unit physiology: temporal coding of vibration frequency in somatosensory cortex, named as the mechanism that would explain the fMRI result and has not been shown— “In non-human primates, neurons in primary somatosensory cortex can signal vibration frequencies above 100 Hz in their spike timing ( Harvey et al. 2013 ), but evidence for explicit frequency tuning in somatosensory cortex remains elusive. Whether auditory information is similarly carried in somatosensory cortex using a temporal code is…transfers[3]
mechanismSounds and vibrations that share frequency content co-occur constantly in everyday experience, and this long history of co-activation builds audio-tactile associations inside frequency-processing circuits— “The co-occurrence of auditory and somatosensory signals that are highly specific in the frequency domain may build audio-tactile associations in frequency-processing circuits through an extensive history of co-activation.”mechanisms[0]
mechanismPredictive coding: hearing a tone evokes the neural representation of the tactile event usually associated with that tone, producing parietal activity with no mechanical stimulation at all— “In this framework, the auditory responses in parietal cortex could reflect predictive coding mechanisms in which hearing specific tones evokes neural representations of the tactile events associated with the sounds even in the absence of mechanical stimulation.”mechanisms[1]
mechanismAuditory signals reach parietal cortex over already-documented cortico-cortical and thalamo-cortical routes linking the auditory and somatosensory systems— “Extensive cortico-cortical and thalamo-cortical pathways connecting the somatosensory and auditory systems have been identified using invasive tracing methods”mechanisms[2]
mechanismsubgroups of voxels in classically defined somatosensory regions of the parietal lobe respond to audition and are better suited to represent auditory frequency information— “These collective results indicate that auditory frequency representations in bilateral SR eroded are sensitive to ROI size and voxel inclusion criteria, unlike those in AR eroded which are more robust to the same criteria. Furthermore, the results for SR eroded imply that subgroups of voxels in classically defined somatosensory regions of the…mechanisms[3]
mechanismwith the proposed route being an extensive history of co-activation at frequencies common to both senses, so that hearing a tone evokes the tactile representation associated with it— “The co-occurrence of auditory and somatosensory signals that are highly specific in the frequency domain may build audio-tactile associations in frequency-processing circuits through an extensive history of co-activation. In this framework, the auditory responses in parietal cortex could reflect predictive coding mechanisms in which hearing…mechanisms[4]
mechanismand the association may be feature-specific - frequency shared between the senses where stimulus duration appears to rely on modality-dedicated circuits— “Interestingly, although common neural circuits may support frequency processing for audition and touch ( Butler et al. 2012 ), processing of other temporal features, like stimulus duration ( Butler et al. 2011 ), appears to rely on modality-dedicated circuits which implies that the neural associations between audition and touch may be…mechanisms[5]
extends Liang et al. (2013)— “Even in cases where auditory stimulation has been shown to evoke distinct response signatures in somatosensory cortex ( Liang et al. 2013 ), it remains unclear whether these response patterns represent specific auditory information.”claim_relations[0]
replicates Beauchamp and Ro (2008)— “A previous report focusing on enhanced auditory responses in the parietal operculum in an individual with sound-touch synesthesia also found auditory responses, of comparable magnitude to the responses we observed, in the parietal operculum of normal control participants ( Beauchamp and Ro 2008 ).”claim_relations[1]
contradicts the traditional notion of modality-dedicated cortical systems in which frequency processing is segregated into parietal and temporal streams— “Recent studies have challenged the traditional notion of modality-dedicated cortical systems by showing that audition and touch evoke responses in the same sensory brain regions. While much of this work has focused on somatosensory responses in auditory regions, fewer studies have investigated sound responses and representations in…claim_relations[2]
supports the account that parietal responses to sound reflect auditory processing rather than partial volume contamination, from the erosion sweep— “In control analyses, we repeated the RSA using more extreme erosion levels ( Supplementary Fig. 1 ) and found nearly identical results with ROIs eroded by 4 mm. RSA with the auditory mask revealed significant auditory representations in somatosensory regions even when performed on a ROI eroded by 10 mm ( Supplementary Fig. 1 ). These…claim_relations[3]
distinguishes-from cutaneous activation by vibrating earbuds, excluded by somatotopy, by frequency profile and by a headphone control experiment— “Second, we addressed the concern that the parietal responses to auditory stimulation reflected tactile processing explicitly. Specifically, because the MRI-compatible in-ear headphones used in the fMRI scans produce sounds via vibrating piezoelectric elements, cutaneous receptors in the ear canal may have been mechanically driven by the…claim_relations[4]
explains-away the possibility that the effect is a learned association between sounds and vibrations, since the control session involved no tactile stimulation— “Lastly, in control fMRI experiments designed specifically to test whether vibrating earbud elements are required for sound-related parietal activations we found that significant BOLD signal changes in parietal brain regions can be achieved using sound stimuli delivered via circumaural, air-conduction headphones ( Supplementary Fig. 2 ).…claim_relations[5]
critiques its own perceptual comparison, which is offline, group-averaged and not trial-wise— “Admittedly, our approach can be substantially improved in future studies. For instance, we compared the cortical dissimilarity measures to the perceptual dissimilarity judgments tested offline and averaged over subjects. We took this approach because the task performed during the discrimination scans, which was designed to ensure that…claim_relations[6]

When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.
