Sounds you consciously perceive affect your brain differently than sounds you don't, a recent Yale study found. For the study, researchers played participants a series of tones—ranging in intensity ...
In their commentary on Romanski et al.'s findings of (at least) two streams of auditory projections to the prefrontal cortex 1, Kaas and Hackett have suggested that this anatomica ...
Stimulating a specific part of the auditory cortex immediately improved speech perception over background noise in an epilepsy patient, according to new research in JNeurosci. To treat severe cases of ...
In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature. Study: Early maturation of sound duration ...
Sociality has evolved repeatedly in rodents, yet whether sociality has shaped auditory processing remains unclear. Here, we used auditory brainstem responses (ABRs ...
Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...
New research reveals that prolonged stress alters brain function, reducing sensitivity to sound over time. This study uncovers how the brain adapts to chronic stress, prioritizing other senses while ...
A team of researchers from the Ivcher Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Technology (BCT Institute) at Reichman University (Herzliya, Israel) has identified a significant deficit in auditory spatial ...
Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder process unexpected sounds differently than their peers, and these ...
A pioneering investigation developed by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) alongside the University of Sussex and University College London, shows that olfactory stimuli combined with ...
Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people, the ...
A discussion about auditory processing disorder and why it may go unrecognized in adulthood.
