Spectral tuning and after-effects in neural entrainment

Behavioral and Brain Functions
Neural entrainment has become a popular technique to non-invasively manipulate brain rhythms via external, periodic stimulation. However, there is still debate regarding its underlying mechanisms and effects on brain activity.

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...

Psychophysics Phenomenologized? Sensation and Decision in Visual Motion Perception

Phenomenology and Mind, 2016
Experimental phenomenology and psychophysics are two rather different approaches to the study of perception, and rely on first-person descriptions and third-person measurements of the percept, respectively.

Olfactory Bulb Volume and Function Recovery in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study investigated perioperative changes in olfactory bulb volume (OBV) in patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis using high‐resolution 3T MRI. Postoperative increases in OBV were associated with improvements in olfactory identification, suggesting a potential link between olfactory bulb structural plasticity and functional recovery ...

Convergence Deficits in Myoclonus‐Dystonia Point to Cerebellar Impairment

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is a monogenic movement disorder, with proposed cerebellar dysfunction. Vergence eye movement deficits, characteristics of degenerative cerebellar disease, have not been studied in M‐D. Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is considered a potential therapeutic approach.

The Psychophysics of Brain Rhythms

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011
It is becoming increasingly apparent that brain oscillations in various frequency bands play important roles in perceptual and attentional processes.

Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Improves Kinetic Tremor in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although resting tremor is a characteristic feature of Parkinson's disease (PD), many patients also suffer from action tremor. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is effective in reducing motor symptoms. However, it is unclear to what extent STN‐DBS improves action tremor in PD, particularly kinetic tremor.

Why Not Study Polytonal Psychophysics?

Empirical Musicology Review, 2007
The relative consonance/dissonance of 2-tone intervals is well understood both experimentally and theoretically and provides a strong foundation for explaining why diatonic scales or their subsets are used in most musical cultures.

Modulation of Non‐Rhythmic Temporal Prediction by Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN‐DBS) in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Background Accurate temporal prediction, essential for adaptive motor behavior, relies on corticobasal ganglia circuits. In Parkinson's disease (PD), both motor and non‐motor functions are impaired. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) effectively alleviates motor symptoms, but its effects on non‐motor domains, like temporal ...
