Pleasantness makes a good time: musical consonance shapes interpersonal synchronization in dyadic joint action [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience
IntroductionMusic making is a process by which humans across cultures come together to create patterns of sounds that are aesthetically pleasing. What remains unclear is how this aesthetic outcome affects the sensorimotor interaction between participants.

Effects of Expansion on Consonant Recognition and Consonant Audibility [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2009
Background: Hearing aid expansion is intended to reduce the gain for low-level noise. However, expansion can also degrade low-intensity speech. Although it has been suggested that the poorer performance with expansion is due to reduced audibility, this has not been measured directly.
