In 2014, two groups of scientists published open letters on the efficacy of brain-training
interventions, or “brain games,” for improving cognition. The first letter, a consensus …

There has been growing interest in enhancing cognition in older adulthood via
computerized cognitive training (CCT), though, there is controversy surrounding the efficacy …

During hearing, acoustic signals travel up the ascending auditory pathway from the cochlea
to auditory cortex; efferent connections provide descending feedback. In human listeners …

Listeners with normal audiometric thresholds can still have suprathreshold deficits, for
example, in the ability to discriminate sounds in complex acoustic scenes. One likely source …
