Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

A low-dimensional voice latent space derived from deep learning captures speaker-identity representations in the temporal voice areas and supports reconstruction of voices preserving identity ...

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 ...

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. Such ...

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.
