Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Understanding the neural basis of speech perception requires that we study the human
brain both at the scale of the fundamental computational unit of neurons and in their …

The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

It is undisputed that presenting a rhythmic stimulus leads to a measurable brain response
that follows the rhythmic structure of this stimulus. What is still debated, however, is the …

Sensory processing must be sensitive enough to encode faint signals near the noise floor
but selective enough to differentiate between similar stimuli. Here we describe a layer 6 …

Columnar arrangements of neurons with similar preference have been suggested as the
fundamental processing units of the cerebral cortex. Within these columnar arrangements …

Sensory detection tasks enhance representations of behaviorally meaningful stimuli in
primary auditory cortex (A1). However, it remains unclear how A1 encodes decision-making …

Previous research demonstrated that while selectively attending to relevant aspects of the
external world, the brain extracts pertinent information by aligning its neuronal oscillations to …

Many aging adults experience some form of hearing problems that may arise from auditory
peripheral damage. However, it has been increasingly acknowledged that hearing loss is …
