Auditory perception is our main gateway to communication with others via speech and
music, and it also plays an important role in alerting and orienting us to new events. This …

Musicians are highly trained to discriminate fine pitch changes but the neural bases of this
ability are poorly understood. It is unclear whether such training-dependent differences in …

Several studies have shown that musical training leads to improved fundamental frequency
(F 0) discrimination for young listeners with normal hearing (NH). It is unclear whether a …

Purpose The present study aimed to quantify the effects of spatial training using virtual
sources on a battery of spatial acuity measures in listeners with sensorineural hearing …

Aims We present an innovative method based on haptics for the evaluation of the sense of
touch in the hand, in people affected by type 1 diabetes. Methods Forty individuals affected …

Cochlear-implant (CI) users rely heavily on temporal envelope cues to understand speech.
Temporal processing abilities may decline with advancing age in adult CI users. This study …

The processing and perception of amplitude modulation (AM) in the auditory system reflect a
frequency-selective process, often described as a modulation filterbank. Previous studies on …

Dichotic spectral integration range, or DSIR, was measured for consonant recognition with
normal-hearing listeners. DSIR is defined as a frequency range needed from 0 to 8,000 Hz …

Background: Different asthma phenotypes are driven by molecular endotypes. A Th1-high
phenotype is linked to severe, therapy-refractory asthma, subclinical infections and …

Purpose To measure the effect of testing conditions (in the soundproof booth vs. quiet room),
test order, and number of test sessions on spectral and temporal processing in normal …
