Frequency-following responses (FFRs) are neurophonic potentials that provide a window
into the encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech/music), auditory disorders, and …

In nonlinear systems, the inclusion of low-level noise can paradoxically improve signal
detection, a phenomenon known as stochastic resonance (SR). SR has been observed in …

How important is the influence of spatial acoustics on our mental processes related to sound
perception and cognition? There is a large body of research in fields encompassing …

Everyday speech perception is challenged by external acoustic interferences that hinder
verbal communication. Here, we directly compared how different levels of the auditory …

We investigated whether the categorical perception (CP) of speech might also provide a
mechanism that aids its perception in noise. We varied signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)[clear, 0 …

Scalp-recorded frequency-following responses (FFRs) reflect a mixture of phase-locked
activity across the auditory pathway. FFRs have been widely used as a neural barometer of …

Auditory-evoked potentials have proven useful in the objective evaluation of sound
encoding at different stages of the auditory pathway (brainstem and cortex). Yet, their utility …

A fundamental question in the neuroscience of everyday communication is how scene
acoustics shape the neural processing of attended speech sounds and in turn impact …

When two voices compete, listeners can segregate and identify concurrent speech sounds
using pitch (fundamental frequency, F0) and timbre (harmonic) cues. Speech perception is …

Brainstem frequency-following responses (FFR) were elicited to the speech token/ama/in
noise containing only envelope (ENV) or fine structure (TFS) cues to assess the relative …
