The auditory frequency-following response (FFR) is a non-invasive index of the fidelity of
sound encoding in the brain, and is used to study the integrity, plasticity, and behavioral …

Neural coding by brain oscillations is a major focus in neuroscience, with important
implications for dyslexia research. Here, I argue that an oscillatory 'temporal …

Mounting evidence suggests that musical training benefits the neural encoding of speech.
This paper offers a hypothesis specifying why such benefits occur. The “OPERA” hypothesis …

The effects of music training in relation to brain plasticity have caused excitement, evident
from the popularity of books on this topic among scientists and the general public …

The human soundscape is characterized by complex sounds with rich harmonic structures,
dynamic amplitude modulations, and rapid spectrotemporal fluctuations. This complexity is …

Individuals with autism and individuals with dyslexia both show reduced use of previous
sensory information (stimuli statistics) in perceptual tasks, even though these are very …

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

Learning to read proceeds smoothly for most children, yet others struggle to translate verbal
language into its written form. Poor readers often have a host of auditory, linguistic, and …

Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the remarkable fidelity with
which the human auditory brainstem represents key acoustic features of the speech signal …

Diffusion tensor imaging tractography is a structural magnetic resonance imaging technique
allowing reconstruction and assessment of the integrity of three dimensional white matter …
