The auditory system tracks the speed and location of moving sounds. Read More
Researchers report they have successfully translated the structure of a spider's web into music. The new study could provide new avenues for the development of 3D printing technologies and novel musical compositions. The findings also shed light on cross-species communication. Read More
Passive exposure to music is enough to drive the development of music selectivity. Read More
An experimental twist on a classic cochlear implant allows researchers to directly measure brain waves and assess how good, or bad, a person's hearing is. Read More
When people hear screams of excited happiness, they tend to confuse the emotion with fear. Researchers say the bias toward categorizing excited and joyfully screams as fear has evolutionary roots. Read More
Interaction between auditory areas of the brain and the reward system drive pleasure when we listen to music. Read More
A newly developed "genetic patch" can eliminate problematic hearing cells in those with DFNA9, a hereditary form of deafness. Read More
Mouse study reveals sound appears to alter connectivity in auditory processing areas earlier in development than previously thought; even before the ear canal opens. Read More
A new vestibular implant can significantly reduce dizziness, restore balance, and improve the quality of life for people with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH). Read More
Using HD-TACS brain stimulation, researchers influenced the integration of speech sounds by changing the balancing processes between the two brain hemispheres. Read More
Study identifies key factors in peoples' voices that show when they are lying. Read More
Gamma-wave mediated synchronization between different brain regions is a critical mechanism for neural integration. Read More
