Mechanistic insight is achieved only when experiments are employed to test formal or
computational models. Furthermore, in analogy to lesion studies, phantom perception may …

Stochastic resonance (SR) has been proposed to play a major role in auditory perception,
and to maintain optimal information transmission from the cochlea to the auditory system. By …

Hearing loss is a major risk factor for tinnitus, hyperacusis, and central auditory processing
disorder. Although recent studies indicate that hearing loss causes neuroinflammation in the …

Stebbins et al.(1982) suggested the guinea pig to be one of the most useful species in which
