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 ...

Chinese scientists have successfully developed the world's first bionic auditory neural interface, enabling conventional ...

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 ...

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with ...

The human auditory cortex transforms acoustic input into coherent percepts through a hierarchical network spanning primary, belt and parabelt regions. Early stages in primary auditory cortex are ...

The ability to decode complex acoustic signals underpins communication across species. In mammals, sound information ascends from the cochlea through brainstem nuclei and the medial geniculate body of ...

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 ...

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, ...

Studies on misophonia have compared the newly termed disorder to Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders, synesthesia, anger management problems, disorders related to impulse control, and ...
