Abstract Objective Magnetoencephalography (MEG) language mapping in pediatric epilepsy frequently requires sedation, which may alter cortical physiology and compromise the reliability of language lateralization. We hypothesized that sedation disrupts coupling between early auditory processing and higher order language networks, reducing the ...

Re-weighting of Sound Localization Cues by Audiovisual Training
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 ...

Auditory gamma‐band synchronization and attentional performance in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Abstract Objective Cognitive difficulties in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) are part of the clinical phenotype alongside epileptic seizures; however, the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Auditory steady‐state responses (ASSRs) to repetitive 40‐ and 80‐Hz stimuli are widely used measures of gamma‐band oscillations (GBOs ...

Analysis of binaural cue matching using ambisonics to binaural decoding techniques [PDF]
Last year Google enabled spatial audio in head-tracked 360 videos using Ambisonics to binaural decoding on Android mobile devices. There was some early criticism of the 1st order to binaural conversion employed by Google, in terms of the quality of ...

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

Convergent input from brainstem coincidence detectors onto delay-sensitive neurons in the inferior colliculus. [PDF]
Responses of low-frequency neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) of anesthetized guinea pigs were studied with binaural beats to assess their mean best interaural phase (BP) to a range of stimulating frequencies.

Speech Recognition Deficits in Presbyacusis: Links to Cortical Structural and Functional Alterations
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize speech recognition in presbyacusis and its associated neurophysiological and cortical structural features, and to explore structure‐function‐behavior relationships within the presbyacusis phenotype. Methods Thirty elderly patients with presbyacusis(HI) and thirty‐three healthy young controls(NH) completed a behavioral

Detectability index measures of binaural masking level difference across populations of inferior colliculus neurons. [PDF]
In everyday life we continually need to detect signals against a background of interfering noise (the “cocktail party effect”): a task that is much easier to accomplish using two ears.
