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 …

BackgroundHearing loss can present at birth or be acquired as a result of illness, middle-ear
disease, injury, age, overuse of certain medications, and/or induced by exposure to …

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

Unilateral hearing in childhood restricts input along the bilateral auditory pathways, possibly
causing permanent reorganization. In this study we asked:(i) do the auditory pathways …

Previous studies have shown that adults respond faster and more reliably to bimodal
compared to unimodal localization cues. The current study investigated for the first time the …

Recently, a hypergraph constructed from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was
utilized to explore brain functional connectivity networks (FCNs) for the classification of …

Although it is known that responses in the auditory cortex are evoked predominantly
contralateral to the side of stimulation, the lateralization of responses at lower levels in the …

Tonotopic organization is an essential feature of the primary auditory area (A1) of primate
cortex. In A1 of macaque monkeys, low frequencies are represented rostrolaterally and high …

The activity of individual afferent neurones in the mammalian cochlea can be driven by
neurotransmitter released from a single synaptic ribbon in a single inner hair cell. Thus, a …

Different types of generation mechanisms of 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR)
were investigated using diotic and dichotic stimulation with 500-and 540-Hz pure tones of …
