A new study investigates what happens when we multitask and why it's not such a good idea to drive and use a phone at the same time.
A new map of the human brain reveals cells, receptors, and gene activity change along the same boundaries.
Researchers have developed a deep neural network that can replicate the way in which humans process and categorize sounds.
People with musical anhedonia have reduced connectivity between brain areas associated with reward and sound processing, a new study reports.
A new study reports babies born early in the third trimester of pregnancy are more likely to show delayed development of the auditory cortex.
A new study reports a number of different areas of children's brains become activated when they hear their mother's voice. This response predicts a child's social communication ability.
A new study describes a feedback loop which modulates the processing of auditory signals in a frequency-dependent manner.
Scientists found that adverse listening situations are difficult for the brain, partly because they draw on the same, limited resources supporting our short-term memory. The new findings are particularly relevant to understanding the cognitive consequences of hearing damage, a condition that affects an increasing number of people.
There is an underlying organization that dictates how the visual cortex is repurposed in blind people, which is not random.
Researchers have discovered that crossmodal mappings can be used by assistive devices to help the blind detect their environment without requiring intensive training.
Passive exposure to music is enough to drive the development of music selectivity.
A new study documents the transformation of information in a the auditory system of rats.
