| contents | The human brain distinguishes speech sounds by mapping acoustic signals into a latent perceptual space. This space can be estimated via multidimensional scaling (MDS), preserving the similarity structure in lower dimensions. However, individual and group-level heterogeneity, especially between native and non-native listeners, remains poorly understood. Prior approaches often ignore such variability or cannot capture shared structure, limiting principled comparisons. Moreover, the literature often focuses on latent distances rather than the underlying features themselves. To address these issues, we develop a Bayesian mixed MDS method that accounts for both subject- and group-level heterogeneity, allows for the recovery of unique, identifiable latent features, facilitating their biological interpretability, while also determining the effective dimensionality of the latent space in an automated, data-adaptive manner. Simulations and an auditory neuroscience application demonstrate how these features reconstruct observed distances and vary with individual and language background, revealing novel insights. |
