<br/>   abstract  = {The phonological short-term memory (pSTM) [2] depicts an interface for speech perception and speech production. In speech perception the information provided by auditory and visual (lip reading) sensors must be transformed into information needed for language processing. In speech production the information of language processing must be transformed into information needed for motor control of articulatory movements. Research on Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) is driven to develop therapies to correct disordered information exchange in the brain using neuromodulation [1]. For correcting disordered information, the input-output codes of the pSTM, must be known. To understand these codes, the functionality of the pSTM must be known. The paper focuses on how the pSTM encodes (learns) and recalls (perceives) syllables. The pSTM is unique to human restricting invasive measurements as electrocorticography. Thus, the functionality of the pSTM is poorly understood. To increase knowledge, the paper works with following pSTM-hypothesis: neuronal functionality of the pSTM can be derived from the functionality of the episodic memory (EM), common to all mammals including humans. To provide evidence of this hypothesis, the paper shows the similarity of the tasks to be performed in both memories and the common use of a multi-item code transmitted by Θ-oscillations interfering with the synapses of the items stored in both memories.},
