Contextual modulation of primary visual cortex by auditory signals [PDF]
, 2017 Early visual cortex receives non-feedforward input from lateral and top-down connections (Muckli & Petro 2013 Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 23, 195–201. (doi:10.1016/j.conb.2013.01.020)), including long-range projections from auditory areas.

Slow update of internal representations impedes synchronization in autism
Nature Communications, 2021 Autism is characterized by diverse symptoms, including impaired social skills, motor and perceptual atypicalities. Here, using computational modelling, the authors show that impaired synchronization ability in autism stems from reduced error correction ...

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users
South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996 The considerable variability in speech perception performance among cochlear implant patients makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different speech processing strategies. One result is that optimal individualized processor parameter setting

Speech recognition in noise task among children and young-adults: a pupillometry study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionChildren experience unique challenges when listening to speech in noisy environments. The present study used pupillometry, an established method for quantifying listening and cognitive effort, to detect temporal changes in pupil dilation ...

Predicting future reading problems based on pre-reading auditory measures: a longitudinal study of children with a familial risk of dyslexia [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: This longitudinal study examines measures of temporal auditory processing in pre-reading children with a family risk of dyslexia. Specifically, it attempts to ascertain whether pre-reading auditory processing, speech perception, and ...

Auditory Adaptation in Voice Perception [PDF]
Current Biology, 2008 Perceptual aftereffects following adaptation to simple stimulus attributes (e.g., motion, color) have been studied for hundreds of years. A striking recent discovery was that adaptation also elicits contrastive aftereffects in visual perception of complex stimuli and faces [1-6].

i-Perception, 2015 Our brain accomplishes the remarkable feat of processing a continuous stream of incoming sensory information at an astonishing speed. This is possible through simultaneous bottom-up processing of the incoming stimuli and top-down processing of prior knowledge (Kinchla & Wolfe, 1979).

Frontal top-down signals increase coupling of auditory low-frequency oscillations to continuous speech in human listeners [PDF]
, 2015 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 ...

The relationship of phonological ability, speech perception, and auditory perception in adults with dyslexia [PDF]
, 2014 This study investigated whether auditory, speech perception and phonological skills are tightly interrelated or independently contributing to reading. We assessed each of these three skills in 36 adults with a past diagnosis of dyslexia and 54 matched ...
