Computational models that mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system could help researchers design better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. A new study ...

Hysell V Oviedo receives funding from NIH. Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels – linguistic, emotional and musical – and acts as a biological ...

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not sound driven ...

The term misophonia may not be well-known to the masses; however, it is understood by those who have it. Misophonia is a strong emotional and/or physiological response to specific sounds. The ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral cortex, identifying 24 networks that perform specific functions. The cerebral ...
