Hearing through your eyes: neural basis of audiovisual cross-activation, revealed by transcranial alternating current stimulation [PDF]
, 2019 Some people experience auditory sensations when seeing visual flashes or movements. This prevalent synaesthesia-like ‘visual-evoked auditory response’ (vEAR) could result either from over-exuberant cross-activation between brain areas, and/or reduced ...

Application of Big Data to Support Evidence-Based Public Health Policy Decision-Making for Hearing [PDF]
, 2020 Ideally, public health policies are formulated from scientific data; however, policy-specific data are often unavailable. Big data can generate ecologically-valid, high-quality scientific evidence, and therefore has the potential to change how public ...

Changes in the response properties of inferior colliculus neurons relating to tinnitus
Frontiers in Neurology, 2014 Tinnitus is often identified in animal models by using the gap prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle (GPIAS). Impaired gap detection following acoustic over-exposure (AOE) is thought to be caused by tinnitus ‘filling in’ the gap, thus reducing its ...

Cortical inactivation by cooling in small animals
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2011 Reversible inactivation of the cortex by surface cooling is a powerful method for studying the function of a particular area. Implanted cooling cryoloops have been used to study the role of individual cortical areas in auditory processing of awake ...

How level and type of deafness affects user perception of multimedia video clips [PDF]
, 2003 Our research investigates the impact that hearing has on the perception of digital video clips, with and without captions, by discussing how hearing loss, captions and deafness type affects user QoP (Quality of Perception).

Cellular transcription factor TFII-I represses adenovirus gene expression
Journal of VirologyTo successfully replicate, viruses must overcome innate cellular antiviral responses. With human adenovirus (HAdV), a key viral repressor of cellular antiviral responses is the early protein E4ORF3. E4ORF3 relocalizes numerous cellular antiviral proteins,
