Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...

They state that there is “little evidence for circumscribed areas of the auditory cortex being uniquely specialized for processing auditory spatial information….” Furthermore, Belin and ...

This important study advances our understanding of the way neurons in the auditory cortex of mice respond to unpredictable sounds. Through the use of state-of-the-art recording methods, compelling ...

Participants in an experiment rated the sounds of the skull-shaped whistles as extremely negative, defining them as ...

Human echolocation has at times allowed people to ride bikes or play basketball despite being completely blind from a very young age. These echolocators typically perceive their environment by ...

In other words, the terrifying ambiguity of the death whistle apparently ignites the imagination as the brain struggles to ...

"Imprecise activation function of efference copy," the researchers wrote, "results in the varied enhancement and sensitization of auditory cortex." Translation: audio hallucinations activate the ...

In this experiment, the neural inputs from the ferrets' eyes were surgically connected to the auditory cortex of the brain ...

The connection between auditory or vestibular disorders and neuroinflammatory or neurodegenerative diseases has gained ...

By scanning people's brains as they watched a handful of Hollywood flicks, scientists have created the most comprehensive map ...

By analyzing brain scans taken as people watched movie clips, MIT researchers have created the most comprehensive map yet of the functions of the ...
