Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "neuroscientists" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "neuroscientists is" sounds like "neuroscientists-iz").

Example Sentences (3)
- “Most neuroscientists would be very sceptical of claims that consciousness of any sort could exist independently of a living brain. There is a growing consensus that consciousness, like life, weather, and cricket, is just another part of the natural world – albeit one that is reluctant to divulge its secrets. But it is unwise to dismiss reports of near-death experiences, which are usually reported after traumatic life-threatening events such as heart attacks.”
