Optogenetic stimulation of the VTA modulates a frequency-specific gain of thalamocortical inputs in infragranular layers of the auditory cortex

Scientific Reports, 2019
Reward associations during auditory learning induce cortical plasticity in the primary auditory cortex. A prominent source of such influence is the ventral tegmental area (VTA), which conveys a dopaminergic teaching signal to the primary auditory cortex.

Bilateral collicular interaction: modulation of auditory signal processing in amplitude domain.

PLoS ONE, 2012
In the ascending auditory pathway, the inferior colliculus (IC) receives and integrates excitatory and inhibitory inputs from many lower auditory nuclei, intrinsic projections within the IC, contralateral IC through the commissure of the IC and from the ...

Light‐Actuated Fiber‐Climbing Inchworm Robot Toward Endoluminal Navigation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A kirigami‐inspired soft inchworm robot harnesses optical energy from a customized side‐emitting optical fiber, guaranteeing its propulsion along the fiber body. The wavelength‐selective responsiveness of dye‐functionalized liquid crystal elastomers and the application of temporal illumination patterns enable sequential control of robot components. The

Towards multidimensional attentive voice tracking—estimating voice state from auditory glimpses with regression neural networks and Monte Carlo sampling

EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing
Selective attention is a crucial ability of the auditory system. Computationally, following an auditory object can be illustrated as tracking its acoustic properties, e.g., pitch, timbre, or location in space.
