Graded optogenetic activation of the auditory pathway for hearing restoration
Optogenetic control of neural activity enables innovative approaches to improve functional restoration of diseased sensory and motor systems. For clinical translation to succeed, optogenetic stimulation needs to closely match the coding properties of the

Intertrial auditory neural stability supports beat synchronization in preschoolers
The ability to synchronize motor movements along with an auditory beat places stringent demands on the temporal processing and sensorimotor integration capabilities of the nervous system.

In vivo functional and myeloarchitectonic mapping of human primary auditory areas [PDF]
In contrast to vision, where retinotopic mapping alone can define areal borders, primary auditory areas such as A1 are best delineated by combining in vivo tonotopic mapping with postmortem cyto- or myeloarchitectonics from the same individual.

Frontal top-down signals increase coupling of auditory low-frequency oscillations to continuous speech in human listeners [PDF]
Humans show a remarkable ability to understand continuous speech even under adverse listening conditions. This ability critically relies on dynamically updated predictions of incoming sensory information, but exactly how top-down predictions improve ...

Sound reconstruction from human brain activity via a generative model with brain-like auditory features [PDF]
The successful reconstruction of perceptual experiences from human brain activity has provided insights into the neural representations of sensory experiences. However, reconstructing arbitrary sounds has been avoided due to the complexity of temporal sequences in sounds and the limited resolution of neuroimaging modalities.

IROC phantoms accurately detect MLC delivery errors
Abstract Purpose We evaluated the impact of random and whole‐bank multileaf collimator (MLC) delivery errors on dosimetric delivery accuracy in the Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) phantom audits, as well as differences in delivery accuracy between the IROC phantom prescription and typical clinical fraction sizes.

Measurement of CT radiation beam width with a pencil ionization chamber and radiopaque mask
Abstract Purpose This study compares fan beam CT scanner radiation beam widths measured with a pencil ionization chamber‐radiopaque mask technique with commonly used film and computed radiography (CR) measurements. Methods For a given fan beam CT scanner x‐ray beam, the ionization chamber‐mask technique determines the radiation beam width by exposing a

Auditory Discrimination and Auditory Sensory Behaviours in Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
It has been hypothesised that auditory processing may be enhanced in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We tested auditory discrimination ability in 72 adolescents with ASD (39 childhood autism; 33 other ASD) and 57 IQ and age-matched controls, assessing ...

Comodulation enhances signal detection via priming of auditory cortical circuits [PDF]
Acoustic environments are composed of complex overlapping sounds that the auditory system is required to segregate into discrete perceptual objects. The functions of distinct auditory processing stations in this challenging task are poorly understood ...

Abstract Purpose This study compares the dosimetric accuracy of deep‐learning‐based MR synthetic CT (sCT) in brain radiotherapy between the Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm (AAA) and AcurosXB (AXB). Additionally, it proposes a novel metric to predict the dosimetric accuracy of sCT for individual post‐surgical brain cases.
