Tracking cortical entrainment in neural activity: Auditory processes in human temporal cortex

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
A primary objective for cognitive neuroscience is to identify how features of the sensory environment are encoded in neural activity. Current auditory models of loudness perception can be used to make detailed predictions about the neural activity of the

Spectro-temporal weighting of loudness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Real-world sounds like speech or traffic noise typically exhibit spectro-temporal variability because the energy in different spectral regions evolves differently as a sound unfolds in time.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Die waarneming van luiheid as basis vir die meting van geraassteuring en produktiwiteit: 'n Internasionale ondersoek

SA Journal of Industrial Psychology, 1976
Human perception of loudness is considered the basis for noise measurement techniques. Due to the use of 18 different internationally accepted calculation methods which lead to much confusion, an International Round Robin project was organized for the ...

Atypical Predictive Processing Is Associated With Sensory Over‐Responsivity in Autism

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism is characterized by sensory processing atypicalities including sensory over‐responsivity (SOR), a heightened negative response to sensory stimuli. Although the neural mechanisms underlying SOR are not fully understood, SOR has been associated with sensory‐limbic hyper‐reactivity during sensory stimulation.

Uni- and bilateral spectral loudness summation and binaural loudness summation with loudness matching and categorical loudness scaling

, 2021
Objective: Current hearing aid prescription rules assume that spectral loudness summation decreases with hearing impairment and that binaural loudness summation is independent of hearing loss and signal bandwidth.

Investigating the Perception of Loudness, Sensitivity and Annoyance of Low-Frequency Noise in Relation to Personality Traits [PDF]

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2023
Background and purpose: Low frequency noise (LFN), even at low levels, can have an adverse effect on individual's mental health and performance. However, personality trait is one of the most important influencing factors. Therefore, the aim of this study

Irony Comprehension in Monolingual and Bilingual Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined verbal irony comprehension in monolingual and bilingual autistic children, focusing on irony recognition, intention understanding, cue use while deciphering ironic meanings, and error patterns. A low‐verbal, multimodal task was used to minimize linguistic and metalinguistic demands.

Listening to Hong Kong children's perspectives through pretend play

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) has become an increasing concern in recent years. The issue has been regularly discussed by different stakeholders. However, the rising concern regarding quality in ECEC has not seriously taken into account children's perspectives.
