Neural Mechanisms of Selective Auditory Attention in Rats (Dissertation) [PDF]
How does attention modulate sensory representations? In order to probe the underlying neural mechanisms, we established a simple rodent model of modality-specific attention.

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

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.

Behavioural evidence for separate mechanisms of audiovisual temporal binding as a function of leading sensory modality [PDF]
The ability to integrate auditory and visual information is critical for effective perception and interaction with the environment, and is thought to be abnormal in some clinical populations.

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

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-

μLED‐based optical cochlear implants for spectrally selective activation of the auditory nerve
Electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) partially restore hearing and enable speech comprehension to more than half a million users, thereby re‐connecting deaf patients to the auditory scene surrounding them.

Auditory feedback control mechanisms do not contribute to cortical hyperactivity within the voice production network in adductor spasmodic dysphonia [PDF]
Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD), the most common form of spasmodic dysphonia, is a debilitating voice disorder characterized by hyperactivity and muscle spasms in the vocal folds during speech.

Long-range coupling of prefrontal cortex and visual (MT) or polysensory (STP) cortical areas in motion perception [PDF]
To investigate how, where and when moving auditory cues interact with the perception of object-motion during self-motion, we conducted psychophysical, MEG, and fMRI experiments in which the subjects viewed nine textured objects during simulated ...

AbstractIt might be suggested that in auditory experience elements of the material world are not apparent to us in the way they are in vision and touch, and that this constitutes a shortcoming in the kind of cognitive contact with the world provided by auditory perception.
