Proximal Binaural Sound Can Induce Subjective Frisson

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Auditory frisson is the experience of feeling of cold or shivering related to sound in the absence of a physical cold stimulus. Multiple examples of frisson-inducing sounds have been reported, but the mechanism of auditory frisson remains elusive ...

Binaural advantages in sound temporal information processing by neurons in the rat inferior colliculus

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Previous studies on the advantages of binaural hearing have long been focused on sound localization and spatial stream segregation. The binaural advantages have also been observed in speech perception in reverberation.

Speech recognition in noise with active and passive hearing protectors: a comparative study [PDF]

, 2011
The perceived negative influence of standard hearing protectors on communication is a common argument for not wearing them. Thus, augmented protectors have been developed to improve speech intelligibility.

The Effect of Binaural Beats on Visuospatial Working Memory and Cortical Connectivity.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Binaural beats utilize a phenomenon that occurs within the cortex when two different frequencies are presented separately to each ear. This procedure produces a third phantom binaural beat, whose frequency is equal to the difference of the two presented ...

Relating age and hearing loss to monaural, bilateral, and binaural temporal sensitivity

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
Older listeners are more likely than younger listeners to have difficulties in making temporal discriminations among auditory stimuli presented to one or both ears.

Toward an Individual Binaural Loudness Model for Hearing Aid Fitting and Development

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
The individual loudness perception of a patient plays an important role in hearing aid satisfaction and use in daily life. Hearing aid fitting and development might benefit from individualized loudness models (ILMs), enabling better adaptation of the ...

Adaptation of Binaural Processing in the Adult Brainstem Induced by Ambient Noise [PDF]

, 2012
Interaural differences in stimulus intensity and timing are major cues for sound localization. In mammals, these cues are first processed in the lateral and medial superior olive by interaction of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs from ipsi- and ...

Tone‐Evoked Sleep Electroencephalographic Slow Oscillations as a Function of Peripheral Rhythms: New Insights Into the Brain–Heart Integration

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have shown that acoustic stimulation, a common neuromodulation technique, can enhance slow‐wave activity (SWA), which is associated with immune, autonomic nervous system activity and cognitive health benefits. Despite some disagreement, many studies suggest that maximising tone‐evoked SWA depends on the timing of the acoustic ...

Re-weighting of Sound Localization Cues by Audiovisual Training

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Sound localization requires the integration in the brain of auditory spatial cues generated by interactions with the external ears, head and body. Perceptual learning studies have shown that the relative weighting of these cues can change in a context ...
