The study of speech processing and auditory perception encompasses the investigation of how the human brain deciphers complex acoustic signals into meaningful linguistic units. At its core, this ...

Jennifer Brout: Would you tell us about your research regarding Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) findings and ...

In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature. Study: Early maturation of sound duration ...

An interview with a prominent researcher addresses common questions and helps untangle the auditory neuroscience underlying ...

In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than ...

An auditory brainstem implant converts sound into an electrical signal and sends it to the brainstem, so your brain can create the sense of sound. An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a treatment ...

People generally don’t confuse the sounds of singing and talking. That may seem obvious, but it’s actually quite impressive—particularly because we can usually differentiate between the two even when ...

Does the deaf brain "see" with its ears? New research shows the auditory cortex maps visual space through selective deactivation, a breakthrough in neuroplasticity.

New research reveals that prolonged stress alters brain function, reducing sensitivity to sound over time. This study uncovers how the brain adapts to chronic stress, prioritizing other senses while ...

Auditory processing and perception refers to our ability to process and interpret sound information received from the environment. It is relied upon by a large majority for effective communication and ...
