Music has been central to human cultures for tens of thousands of years, but how our brains perceive it has long been shrouded in mystery. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have developed a precise ...

Researchers have added to a stack of existing evidence that 40 Hz gamma frequencies could help to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Computational models that mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system could help researchers design better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. A new study ...

Hysell V Oviedo receives funding from NIH. Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels – linguistic, emotional and musical – and acts as a biological ...

Voice experiments in people with epilepsy have helped trace the circuit of electrical signals in the brain that allow its hearing center to sort out background sounds from their own voices. Voice ...

For children, the world is full of surprises. Adults, on the other hand, are much more difficult to surprise. And there are complex processes behind this apparently straightforward state of affairs.

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal’s brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it’s where most things happen—like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral cortex, identifying 24 networks that perform specific functions. The cerebral ...
