Publisher Summary Environmental noise can affect acoustic communication through limiting
the broadcast area, or active space, of a signal by decreasing signal-to-noise ratios at the …

▪ Abstract A complete understanding of sensory and motor processing requires
characterization of how the nervous system processes time in the range of tens to hundreds …

EEG oscillations are hypothesized to reflect cyclical variations in the neuronal excitability,
with particular frequency bands reflecting differing spatial scales of brain operation …

The current review constitutes the first comprehensive look at the possibility that the
mismatch negativity (MMN, the deflection of the auditory ERP/ERF elicited by stimulus …

Speech comprehension depends on the integrity of both the spectral content and temporal
envelope of the speech signal. Although neural processing underlying spectral analysis has …

The external ear or pinna (auricle) collects sound, which passes along the external auditory
canal to the eardrum (tympanic membrane)(Fig. 2.1). The middle ear (tympanum) is a cavity …

Psychology is of interest to academics from many fields, as well as to the thousands of
academic and clinical psychologists and general public who can't help but be interested in …

Work on the functional organization of auditory cortex in nonhuman primates has recently
gained increasing attention. Neurophysiological studies using complex stimuli, combined …

Because auditory cortical neurons have limited stimulus-synchronized responses, cortical
representations of more rapidly occurring but still perceivable stimuli remain unclear. Here …
