Inter‐Stimulus‐Interval Dependence in Auditory Cortex Reflects Perceptual Organization of Streams Under Informational Masking

Psychophysiology, Volume 62, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The perceptual saliency of a regular sound sequence embedded into a well‐chosen multi‐tone‐masker background fluctuates despite the absence of change in the physical stimulus. When such tone streams are perceived, each tone of the stream evokes a negative‐going response referred to as awareness‐related negativity (ARN).

Let's stop measuring animal sound frequencies in hertz

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2545-2551, November 2025.
Abstract Research on the function and evolution of animal sounds typically analyses sound frequency on a linear scale (Hz), despite the perception and modulation of sound frequency by animals being better described with an equal‐ratios scale (logHz). Using a linear frequency scale causes bias in analyses, and distorts the visual representation of sound

Higher‐pitched voices are perceived as financially trustworthy

British Journal of Psychology, Volume 116, Issue 4, Page 1009-1027, November 2025.
Abstract Previous research is mixed as to whether listeners perceive higher‐ or lower‐pitched voices as more financially trustworthy. These mixed results may be owing to variation in the degree of risk implied in the scenarios used to measure perceptions of financial trustworthiness. I tested whether the degree of risk in the type of trust game used to

Optimizing CI Systems for Better Recognition of Soft Speech —the Concept of Broad‐Range Mapping

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives The individual mapping of cochlear implants (CIs) aims to optimize the user's speech understanding. Recent investigations have shown the importance of soft speech: (1) According to Datalog studies, a large proportion of speech components lies in the range below 60 dB, and (2) soft speech represents a separate category in CI outcome,
