Language, Perception, and Task Design: Multiple Factors Contribute to Children's Understanding of Pitch Metaphors

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Language and perception are intimately linked in human cognition, yet the precise nature of their interaction remains unclear. In the domain of auditory pitch, languages often use metaphors by borrowing terminology from other domains. However, studies examining children's understanding of pitch metaphors have produced notably conflicting ...

Individual Variation in Perception and Evolutionary Aesthetics: Grant Allen's 1878 Investigation of Congenital Amusia

open access: yesJournal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, Volume 63, Issue 1, Winter 2027.
ABSTRACT The consideration of human evolution and variation were live topics in the second half of the 19th century. These issues converged in Grant Allen's (1848–1899) 1878 investigation of a case of “note‐deafness” (i.e., tone‐deafness; congenital amusia).

Locked Pollen, Unchanged Buzzes: Bumblebee Foraging Behavior Persists Despite Pollen Restriction in a Poricidal Legume

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
In plants that offer pollen as their sole floral reward, this resource is finite and nonreplenishable, making such plants useful systems for studying how resource availability across flowers shapes pollinator behavior. Because tropical ecosystems of the Global South harbor exceptionally diverse plant–pollinator interactions, understanding pollinator ...

The cochlear morphometry compendium: High‐resolution synchrotron measurements and normative reference values

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 1290-1308, December 2026.
In this study, 100 cadaveric temporal bones underwent synchrotron radiation phase‐contrast imaging. Images were segmented to produce 3D surface mesh models for morphological analysis. Measurements obtained for all cochleae included: standard gross dimensions, various cochlear lengths including basilar membrane length, detailed intracochlear scalar ...

Topology‐Enabled Finite‐Band Absorption Framework Based on a Bioinspired Nested Dual‐Loop Architecture

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 62, 9 November 2026.
A nuclear‐pore‐inspired nested dual‐loop architecture redistributes electromagnetic energy through coupled transport, confinement, and dissipation pathways. Integrated with Co/Fe3O4 dual‐magnetic composites and topology optimization, the 11‐mm‐thick absorber delivers continuous 2–40 GHz attenuation, raises finite‐band structural utilization to 82%, and

Task‐based detectability and angular‐sampling bounds on spatial resolution in cone‐beam micro‐CT: a closed‐form scan‐design analysis

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Background Spatial resolution in preclinical cone‐beam micro‐CT is conventionally characterised by image‐domain metrics measured on a specific reconstruction of a specific phantom. Such metrics conflate resolution loss originating in the data (photon noise, angular undersampling) with resolution loss originating in the reconstruction ...

The Influence of Audio Information Manipulation on the Perceived Atmosphere in Telepresence Systems for Remote Work

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 11, Page 1675-1683, November 2026.
Remote work, which enables employees to work from home, has emerged as a prominent working style in recent years. However, unlike traditional office environments where the ‘atmosphere of the space’ is naturally shared, remote work relies on screen‐based communication, making it challenging to convey this atmosphere.

Early Outer Hair Cell Dysfunction Associated With Educational Noise Exposure in Dental Students: Implications for Hearing Conservation in Dental Education

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Dental Education, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1869-1879, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Dental education involves continuous exposure to high‐frequency noise from clinical instruments, which may cause early outer hair cell damage even before professional practice begins. While noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a recognised occupational hazard among dentists, evidence regarding subclinical outer hair cell changes ...

The what, which, when, why and who of Off responses in the auditory system

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 21, Page 8690-8701, 1 November 2026.
Abstract figure legend In this article, we will first review ‘What’ different mechanisms are involved in the generation of Off responses at the sub‐cortical and cortical level of the auditory system. Then, we evaluate ‘Which’ stimulus properties elicit Off responses at the different levels of the auditory system.

Selection Rules and Channel Structure in a Base Octave Model of Collatz Dynamics

open access: yes
The Collatz iteration is governed by two distinct update rules, depending on the parity of the current iterate: n(i+1)=3n(i)+1 for odd n(i), and n(i+1)=n(i)/2 for even n(i). We show that these rules can be written equivalently as a single parity controlled transformation, n(i+1)=((2s(i)+1)(2k(i)+s(i))+s(i))/2, where n(i)=2k(i)+s(i) and s(i) is the ...
