The primary auditory cortex (PAC) on the superior temporal gyrus (STG) is known to have a fundamental part in processing hearing, as well as language and speech (Flechsig, 1896; Seldon, 1985). The STG encloses the tranverse temporal gyrus, known as Heschl's gyrus (HG) (Brodmann area 41/42), and has been established to be involved in auditory speech processing.
