Auditory brain stem response to complex sounds: a tutorial
E Skoe, N Kraus - Ear and hearing, 2010 - journals.lww.com

Musical experience shapes top-down auditory mechanisms: evidence from masking and auditory attention performance
A growing body of research suggests that cognitive functions, such as attention and memory,
drive perception by tuning sensory mechanisms to relevant acoustic features. Long-term …

Stimulus rate and subcortical auditory processing of speech
Many sounds in the environment, including speech, are temporally dynamic. The auditory
brainstem is exquisitely sensitive to temporal features of the incoming acoustic stream, and …

Rapid acoustic processing in the auditory brainstem is not related to cortical asymmetry for the syllable rate of speech
OBJECTIVE: Temporal acuity in the auditory brainstem is correlated with left-dominant
patterns of cortical asymmetry for processing rapid speech-sound stimuli. Here we …
