Humans have the unique ability to decode the rapid stream of language elements that constitute speech, even when it is contaminated by noise. Two reliable observations about noisy speech perception are that seeing the face of the talker improves intelligibility and the existence of individual differences in the ability to perceive noisy speech. We introduce a multivariate BOLD fMRI measure that explains both observations. In two independent fMRI studies, clear and noisy speech was presented in visual, auditory and audiovisual formats to thirty-seven participants who rated intelligibility. An event-related design was used to sort noisy speech trials by their intelligibility. Individual-differences multidimensional scaling was applied to fMRI response patterns in superior temporal cortex and the dissimilarity between responses to clear speech and noisy (but intelligible) speech was measured. Neural dissimilarity was less for audiovisual speech than auditory-only speech, corresponding to the greater intelligibility of noisy audiovisual speech. Dissimilarity was less in participants with better noisy speech perception, corresponding to individual differences. These relationships held for both single word and entire sentence stimuli, suggesting that they were driven by intelligibility rather than the specific stimuli tested. A neural measure of perceptual intelligibility may aid in the development of strategies for helping those with impaired speech perception.
