Phonetic discrimination learning is an active perceptual process that operates under the
influence of cognitive control mechanisms by increasing the sensitivity of the auditory system …

Hearing is an active process in which listeners must detect and identify sounds, segregate
and discriminate stimulus features, and extract their behavioral relevance. Adaptive changes …

While task-dependent changes have been demonstrated in auditory cortex for a number of
behavioral paradigms and mammalian species, less is known about how behavioral state …

Background Due to auditory experience, musicians have better auditory expertise than non-
musicians. An increased neocortical activity during auditory oddball stimulation was …

Changes in sound-evoked responses in the auditory cortex (ACtx) occur during learning, but
how learning alters neural responses in different ACtx subregions and changes their …

To investigate how hearing status, sign language experience, and task demands influence
functional responses in the human superior temporal cortices (STC) we collected fMRI data …

Background Auditory perceptual learning persistently modifies neural networks in the central
nervous system. Central auditory processing comprises a hierarchy of sound analysis and …

Over the course of development, speech sounds that are contrastive in one's native
language tend to become perceived categorically: that is, listeners are unaware of variation …

Plasticity from auditory experience shapes the brain's encoding and perception of sound.
However, whether such long-term plasticity alters the trajectory of short-term plasticity during …
