Speech sound stimuli were shifted up by an octave. Spectrograms of the seven consonant speech sounds that we used in the present study are shown. Since the rat audiogram is considerably higher than the human audiogram, we shifted speech sounds up by an octave, preserving all other spectral and temporal information using the STRAIGHT vocoder (Kawahara 1997; see methods).
