Variation in the perception of an L2 contrast : a combined phonetic and phonological account [PDF]
The present study argues that variation across listeners in the perception of a non-native contrast is due to two factors: the listener-specic weighting of auditory dimensions and the listener-specic construction of new segmental representations.

BROAD‐NESS Uncovers Dual‐Stream Mechanisms Underlying Predictive Coding in Auditory Memory Networks
BROADband Network Estimation via Source Space (BROAD‐NESS) is a flexible analytical pipeline for identifying large‐scale brain networks from event‐related, source‐reconstructed MEG data, with a focus on auditory predictive and memory processes. BROAD‐NESS integrates a suite of complementary tools, including PCA‐based decomposition, phase space, and ...

Age differences in fMRI adaptation for sound identity and location [PDF]
We explored age differences in auditory perception by measuring fMRI adaptation of brain activity to repetitions of sound identity (what) and location (where), using meaningful environmental sounds. In one condition, both sound identity and location were

Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...

Modeling the auditory scene: predictive regularity representations and perceptual objects [PDF]
Predictive processing of information is essential for goal directed behavior. We offer an account of auditory perception suggesting that representations of predictable patterns, or ‘regularities’, extracted from the incoming sounds serve as auditory ...

Neural Response Reliability as a Marker of the Transition of Neural Codes along Auditory Pathways
Decoding sound from neural activity in mice reveals a striking shift in how the brain encodes sound: from precise but redundant timing codes in early auditory areas to efficient, synergistic rate‐based codes in the cortex. This transformation highlights a robust neural strategy for turning complex acoustic input into coherent perception across the ...

Representation of Sound Categories in Auditory Cortical Maps [PDF]
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the representation of sound categories in human auditory cortex. Experiment 1 investigated the representation of prototypical and non-prototypical examples of a vowel sound. Listening to

Being first matters: topographical representational similarity analysis of ERP signals reveals separate networks for audiovisual temporal binding depending on the leading sense [PDF]
In multisensory integration, processing in one sensory modality is enhanced by complementary information from other modalities. Inter-sensory timing is crucial in this process as only inputs reaching the brain within a restricted temporal window are ...

Hinst: Human‐Like Interactive Instinct Enables Robots to Robustly Accomplish Universal Tasks
Aiming at current robot limitations of poor flexibility, poor practicality, and poor universality in task accomplishment, the authors report a human‐like interactive instinct (Hinst) and an anthropomorphic robotic system architecture. The Hinst greatly enhances the efficiency and the success rate of robotic manipulation, skill learning, and task ...
