Plasticity from auditory experience shapes the brain's encoding and perception of sound.
However, whether such long-term plasticity alters the trajectory of short-term plasticity during …

Abstract Speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension deficits in older adults have been linked to
changes in both subcortical and cortical auditory evoked responses. However, older adults' …

We tested the ability to recognise speech-in-noise and its relation to the ability to
discriminate vocal pitch in adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and …

Speech perception in noisy environments depends on complex interactions between
sensory and cognitive systems. In older adults, such interactions may be affected, especially …

When two voices compete, listeners can segregate and identify concurrent speech sounds
using pitch (fundamental frequency, F0) and timbre (harmonic) cues. Speech perception is …

This study assessed the neural mechanisms and relative saliency of categorization for
speech sounds and comparable graphemes (ie, visual letters) of the same phonetic label …

While listening to meaningful speech, auditory input is processed more rapidly near the end
(vs. beginning) of sentences. Although several studies have shown such word-to-word …

Speech perception requires grouping acoustic information into meaningful linguistic-
phonetic units via categorical perception (CP). Beyond shrinking observers' perceptual …

Background The human frequency-following response (FFR) is a neurophonic potential
used to examine the brain's encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech) and monitor …

Background: Many studies have demonstrated the benefits of long-term music training (ie,
musicianship) on the neural processing of sound, including simple tones and speech …
