Sensorineural hearing loss induced by noise or ototoxic drug exposure reduces the neural
activity transmitted from the cochlea to the central auditory system. Despite a reduced …

The fundamental perceptual unit in hearing is the'auditory object'. Similar to visual objects,
auditory objects are the computational result of the auditory system's capacity to detect …

Does brain asymmetry for speech and music emerge from acoustical cues or from domain-
specific neural networks? We selectively filtered temporal or spectral modulations in sung …

How the brain selects appropriate sensory inputs and suppresses distractors is unknown.
Given the well-established role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in executive function, its …

Hippocampal replay during sharp-wave ripple events (SWRs) is thought to drive memory
consolidation in hippocampal and cortical circuits. Changes in neocortical activity can …

A visual scene is perceived in terms of visual objects. Similar ideas have been proposed for
the analogous case of auditory scene analysis, although their hypothesized neural …

Although we have convincing evidence that attention to auditory stimuli modulates neuronal
responses at or before the level of primary auditory cortex (A1), the underlying physiological …

The cortical representation of the acoustic features of continuous speech is the foundation of
speech perception. In this study, noninvasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings …

Musicians are often reported to have enhanced neurophysiological functions, especially in
the auditory system. Musical training is thought to improve nervous system function by …

Animals require the ability to ignore sensory stimuli that have no consequence yet respond
to the same stimuli when they become useful. However, the brain circuits that govern this …
