Sensitivity to haptic sound-localisation cues

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Hearing aid and cochlear implant (CI) users often struggle to locate and segregate sounds. The dominant sound-localisation cues are time and intensity differences across the ears.

Auditory Attention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The modern world is noisy. Streets are cacophonies of traffic noise; homes and workplaces are replete with bleeping timers, announcements, and alarms. Everywhere there is the sound of human speech—from the casual chatter of strangers and the unwanted intrusion from electronic devices through to the conversations with friends and loved ones one may ...

Relationships Between Health-Related Quality of Life and Speech Perception in Bimodal and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
PurposePrevious studies examining the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and speech perception ability in cochlear implant (CI) users have yielded variable results, due to a range of factors, such as a variety of different HRQoL ...

Improving speech perception for hearing-impaired listeners using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with multiple frequency channels

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Cochlear implants (CIs) have revolutionised treatment of hearing loss, but large populations globally cannot access them either because of disorders that prevent implantation or because they are expensive and require specialist surgery. Recent technology

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Auditory Attention in Rats (Dissertation) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
How does attention modulate sensory representations? In order to probe the underlying neural mechanisms, we established a simple rodent model of modality-specific attention.

Musical experience strengthens the neural representation of sounds important for communication in middle-aged adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2012
Older adults frequently complain that while they can hear a person talking, they cannot understand what is being said; this difficulty is exacerbated by background noise. Peripheral hearing loss cannot fully account for this age-related decline in speech-

Mesoscopic landscape of cortical functions revealed by through-skull wide-field optical imaging in marmoset monkeys

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The authors developed an optical imaging approach for mapping cortical functions through the intact skull in marmoset monkeys. Detailed functions and topographies were revealed in visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortices at mesoscopic scales.

Auditory Spectrum-Based Pitched Instrument Onset Detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, a method for onset detection of music signals using auditory spectra is proposed. The auditory spectrogram provides a time-frequency representation that employs a sound processing model resembling the human auditory system.

A highly sensitive, self-powered triboelectric auditory sensor for social robotics and hearing aids

open access: yesScience Robotics, 2018
A self-powered triboelectric auditory sensor is designed for human-robot interactions. The auditory system is the most efficient and straightforward communication strategy for connecting human beings and robots.

Music training relates to the development of neural mechanisms of selective auditory attention

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2015
Selective attention decreases trial-to-trial variability in cortical auditory-evoked activity. This effect increases over the course of maturation, potentially reflecting the gradual development of selective attention and inhibitory control.
