Improved Bone Conduction and Hearing Outcomes After Stapes Surgery for Otosclerosis
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 298-304, June 2026.ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the improvement in bone conduction (BC) thresholds after stapes surgery for otosclerosis, compare the outcomes of surgical techniques, and analyze the short‐ and long‐term results to inform treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from 173 patients (188 ears) who underwent total stapedectomy, partial

Within‐ and Between‐Channel Gaps Elicit Mismatch Negativity in the Aging Brain
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 11, June 2026.This study examined the cortical responses of older and younger adults with normal hearing to silent gaps using EEG and behavioral gap detection. Behavioral gap detection thresholds did not differ across conditions in older adults. DRN and peak‐to‐peak DRN‐P2/P3a demonstrate subtle neural alterations in temporal resolution that may precede behavioral ...

Rhythmicity and Trait Absorption Are Linked to Nonordinary States of Consciousness
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.This study examined how rhythmic drum sounds, neural entrainment, and individual traits shape nonordinary states of consciousness (NSCs). Compared to nonrhythmic drum sounds, rhythmic stimulation increased experiences of unity, and in individuals with low absorption, it also enhanced spiritual experiences. Higher absorption was associated with stronger
