Working memory is the cognitive system in charge of the temporary maintenance of
information in view of its on-going processing. Lying at the centre of cognition, it has become …

Paradoxically, although humans have a superb sense of smell, they don't trust their nose.
Furthermore, although human odorant detection thresholds are very low, only unusually …

Sensory signals are transduced at high resolution, but their structure must be stored in a
more compact format. Here we provide evidence that the auditory system summarizes the …

Auditory perception and cognition entails both low-level and high-level processes, which are
likely to interact with each other to create our rich conscious experience of soundscapes …

Perceptual systems have finite memory resources and must store incoming signals in
compressed formats. To explore whether representations of a sound's pitch might derive …

Change often emerges from a series of small doses. For example, a person may conclude
that a happy relationship has eroded not from 1 obvious fight but from smaller unhappy …

Statistical learning and probabilistic prediction are fundamental processes in auditory
cognition. A prominent computational model of these processes is Prediction by Partial …

The ability to detect sudden changes in the environment is critical for survival. Hearing is
hypothesized to play a major role in this process by serving as an “early warning device,” …

An area of research that has experienced recent growth is the study of memory during
perception of simple and complex auditory scenes. These studies have provided important …

We compared auditory change detection to visual change detection using closely matched
stimuli and tasks in the two modalities. On each trial, participants were presented with a test …
