While most of the research in blind individuals classically has focused on the compensatory
plastic rearrangements that follow loss of sight, novel behavioral, anatomical and functional …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies involve substantial acoustic noise.
This review covers the difficulties posed by such noise for auditory neuroscience, as well as …

The computational role of efference copies is widely appreciated in action and perception
research, but their properties for speech processing remain murky. We tested the functional …

The mechanism of loss of consciousness (LOC) under anesthesia is unknown. Because
consciousness depends on activity in the cortico-thalamic network, anesthetic actions on this …

The temporal context of an acoustic signal can greatly influence its perception. The present
study investigated the neural correlates underlying perceptual facilitation by regular …

Psychophysical evidence suggests that sensations arising from our own movements are
diminished when predicted by motor forward models and that these models may also …

Altogether, findings from both behavioural and imaging studies indicate that the brain
functional organization is to a large extent independent from visual experience and able to …

BACKGROUND: The powerful emotion inducing properties of music are well-known, yet
music may convey differing emotional responses depending on environmental factors. We …

Approaching or looming signals are often related to extremely relevant environmental
events (eg threats or collisions) making these signals critical for survival. However, the …

Prompt detection of unexpected changes in the sensory environment is critical for survival. In
the auditory domain, the occurrence of a rare stimulus triggers a cascade of …
