Sex Differences in Spatial Cognition Extend Beyond Vision: Insights From the Audio-Corsi Test. [PDF]

Eur J Neurosci
Sex differences in spatial cognition extend beyond vision. Sex differences in spatial abilities are well established using vision. But are there sex differences in spatial abilities using audition? Mental Rotation Task‐Auditory Spatial Task‐Questionnaire. Dependent Variables are as follows: MRT score, sequences (1–36), span (2–9), total score (seq*span)

Temporal deployment of attention in musicians: Evidence from an attentional blink paradigm

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1530, Issue 1, Page 110-123, December 2023., 2023
Music training improves perceptual and cognitive skills, which may transfer to unrelated non‐musical domains. The cognitive processes and neural mechanisms enabling this transfer have yet to be discovered. Combining scalp recording of neuroelectric brain activity with an attentional blink paradigm, we provide evidence that music training improves the ...

Involuntary shifts of spatial attention contribute to distraction—Evidence from oscillatory alpha power and reaction time data

Psychophysiology, Volume 60, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Imagine you are focusing on the traffic on a busy street to ride your bike safely when suddenly you hear the siren of an ambulance. This unexpected sound involuntarily captures your attention and interferes with ongoing performance. We tested whether this type of distraction involves a spatial shift of attention.

Learning of new associations invokes a major change in modulations of cortical beta oscillations in human adults

Psychophysiology, Volume 60, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Large‐scale cortical beta (β) oscillations were implicated in the learning processes, but their exact role is debated. We used MEG to explore the dynamics of movement‐related β‐oscillations while 22 adults learned, through trial and error, novel associations between four auditory pseudowords and movements of four limbs.

The auditory stimulus reduced the visual inhibition of return: Evidence from psychophysiological interaction analysis

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 10, Page 4152-4164, July 2023., 2023
The visual inhibition of return (IOR) accompanying auditory stimuli was significant but smaller than the unimodal visual IOR. In the validly cued trials, the superior temporal gyrus showed increased functional coupling with the intraparietal sulcus, presupplementary motor area, and other areas in audiovisual conditions compared with visual conditions ...

Magnitude Modelling of HRTF Using Principal Component Analysis Applied to Complex Values

Archives of Acoustics, 2014
Principal components analysis (PCA) is frequently used for modelling the magnitude of the headrelated transfer functions (HRTFs). Assuming that the HRTFs are minimum phase systems, the phase is obtained from the Hilbert transform of the log-magnitude. In

Representation of Multiple Acoustic Sources in a Virtual Image of the Field of Audition from Binaural Synthetic Aperture Processing as the Head is Turned

Robotics, 2018
The representation of multiple acoustic sources in a virtual image of the field of audition based on binaural synthetic-aperture computation (SAC) is described through use of simulated inter-aural time delay (ITD) data. Directions to the acoustic sources

The Head Turning Modulation System: An Active Multimodal Paradigm for Intrinsically Motivated Exploration of Unknown Environments

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018
Over the last 20 years, a significant part of the research in exploratory robotics partially switches from looking for the most efficient way of exploring an unknown environment to finding what could motivate a robot to autonomously explore it. Moreover,

fNIRS Changes in the Middle Temporal and Occipital Cortices After a Cochlear Implant. [PDF]

Laryngoscope
Objectives The relationship between the middle temporal (MTG) and occipital cortices in post‐lingually deaf (PLD) individuals is unclear. This study aimed to investigate changes in the MTG and occipital cortices excitability and their effects on the occipital cortex in individuals with PLD after receiving a cochlear implant (CI).

Auditory/visual distance estimation: accuracy and variability

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Past research has shown that auditory distance estimation improves when listeners are given the opportunity to see all possible sound sources when compared to no visual input.
