For thousands of years, human beings have engaged in rhythmic activities such as
drumming, dancing, and singing. Rhythm can be a powerful medium to stimulate …

Sensori-motor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an
external rhythm. It plays a central role in motor, cognitive, and social behavior. SMS is …

This report highlights research projects relevant to binaural and spatial hearing in adults and
children. In the past decade we have made progress in understanding the impact of bilateral …

Speech perception is constrained by auditory processing. Although at birth infants have an
immature auditory system and limited language experience, they show remarkable speech …

Understanding language neurobiology in early childhood is essential for characterizing the
developmental structural and functional changes that lead to the mature adult language …

Introduction The auditory system encodes the phonetic features of languages by processing
spectro-temporal modulations in speech, which can be described at two time scales …

A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that infants understand the meaning of spoken
words from as early as 6 months. Yet little is known about their ability to do so in the absence …

Making sense of the auditory world around us requires access to basic features of sounds
like frequency and intensity, as well detecting changes in these features over time. It also …

Objectives: Adults can use slow temporal envelope cues, or amplitude modulation (AM), to
identify speech sounds in quiet. Faster AM cues and the temporal fine structure, or frequency …

The goal of this study was to determine if temporal modulation cutoff frequency was mature
in three-month-old infants. Normal-hearing infants and young adults were tested in a single …
