[HTML][HTML] How can hearing loss cause dementia?
Epidemiological studies identify midlife hearing loss as an independent risk factor for
dementia, estimated to account for 9% of cases. We evaluate candidate brain bases for this …

Neuronal development of hearing and language: cochlear implants and critical periods
The modern cochlear implant (CI) is the most successful neural prosthesis developed to
date. CIs provide hearing to the profoundly hearing impaired and allow the acquisition of …

[HTML][HTML] Integration of visual information in auditory cortex promotes auditory scene analysis through multisensory binding
How and where in the brain audio-visual signals are bound to create multimodal objects
remains unknown. One hypothesis is that temporal coherence between dynamic …

Hierarchical encoding of attended auditory objects in multi-talker speech perception
Humans can easily focus on one speaker in a multi-talker acoustic environment, but how
different areas of the human auditory cortex (AC) represent the acoustic components of …

'Normal'hearing thresholds and fundamental auditory grouping processes predict difficulties with speech-in-noise perception
E Holmes, TD Griffiths - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Understanding speech when background noise is present is a critical everyday task that
varies widely among people. A key challenge is to understand why some people struggle …

Detecting and representing predictable structure during auditory scene analysis
We use psychophysics and MEG to test how sensitivity to input statistics facilitates auditory-
scene-analysis (ASA). Human subjects listened to 'scenes' comprised of concurrent tone-pip …

[HTML][HTML] Recent advances in understanding the auditory cortex
AJ King, S Teki, BDB Willmore - F1000Research, 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Our ability to make sense of the auditory world results from neural processing that begins in
the ear, goes through multiple subcortical areas, and continues in the cortex. The specific …

[HTML][HTML] Enhanced deviant responses in patterned relative to random sound sequences
R Southwell, M Chait - Cortex, 2018 - Elsevier
The brain draws on knowledge of statistical structure in the environment to facilitate
detection of new events. Understanding the nature of this representation is a key challenge …

Pupillometry as a reliable metric of auditory detection and discrimination across diverse stimulus paradigms in animal models
P Montes-Lourido, M Kar, I Kumbam, S Sadagopan - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
Estimates of detection and discrimination thresholds are often used to explore broad
perceptual similarities between human subjects and animal models. Pupillometry shows …
