Harsh noises, such as alarm bells and sirens, hold the brain's attention by stimulating its aversion networks. Read More
A new technology known as sonogenetics can control neural activity by using sound frequencies. The technology could be used to non-invasively treat a range of neurological conditions, including Parkinson's disease and epilepsy. Read More
A new study uses real time MRI data to observe the vocal tracts of beatboxers before they produce a sound to see if the movements are different from speech. Read More
A new study reveals the neural processes we use to ignore the sound of our own footsteps and other self made noises. Researchers say the findings may shed new light on how we learn to speak and play music. Read More
