Global timing: a conceptual framework to investigate the neural basis of rhythm perception in humans and non-human species [PDF]

, 2014
Timing cues are an essential feature of music. To understand how the brain gives rise to our experience of music we must appreciate how acoustical temporal patterns are integrated over the range of several seconds in order to extract global timing.

Feasibility Study for Application of Digitized Henize Mt. Wilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \boldsymbol{\alpha} $$ Survey Low‐Dispersive Spectral Plates for Searches for Anomalous and Highly Redshifted Objects

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to confirm the feasibility of the use of digitized low dispersive MtWilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \alpha $$ survey astronomical photographic plates for modern astrophysical research. The detection of highly redshifted objects, such as early galaxies and quasars, is fundamental to understanding the universe's ...

Autistic Children With Speech Onset Delay Show Reversed Bias in Spectral Versus Temporal Auditory Processing

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent “hierarchical” reinterpretation of the neurological basis of autism suggests that in autism with early language delay, perceptual processing may be favored over the integration of transmodal information. This model is largely based on neuroimaging findings relating to visual processing, but predicts a corresponding reorganization in ...

“They say we're a rights‐respecting school but nobody knows what that really means”: Children's rights implementation in a Scottish secondary school

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Education has been an enduring feature of international human rights law since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and is the only human right that is compulsory for children. Appearing in all major human rights treaties, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, education is multidimensional and a multiplier of ...

Place and Temporal Cues in Cochlear Implant Pitch and Melody Perception

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
The present study compared pitch and melody perception using cochlear place of excitation and temporal cues in six adult nucleus cochlear implant (CI) recipients. The stimuli were synthesized tones presented through a loudspeaker, and recipients used the

Nonsilting transport characteristics of coal slurry in a deep underground fluidization conveying pipeline under the action of a guide vane swirler

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aiming at the scientific frontiers of in situ fluidized mining of deep resources, a deep coal fluidized pipeline lifting system based on hydraulic conveying has been proposed. To solve the issue of particle sedimentation of large particles in horizontal connection sections, a solution involving the installation of guide vane‐type swirlers in the ...
