There is a sensory revolution taking place, where personal sound amplification products (PSAPs), or hearables, are moving ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

By revealing for the first time what happens in the brain when an animal makes a mistake, JHU researchers shed light on the ...

When a person's hearing and vision are uncompromised and function at a relatively high level, the human brain is able to take ...

Despite this suppression, the auditory cortex continued processing sounds, meaning the brain was adjusting how it integrates sensory information rather than completely ignoring sound. This study ...

Audiologist and researcher Dr. Julia Campbell shares her insights into the state of misophonia research and how we may get ...

From the moment training began, the team recorded the activity of neurons in the auditory cortex, an area of the brain associated with hearing and perception. There were two major surprises.

Johns Hopkins University researchers discovered that mice can learn new skills in fewer trials than previously assumed. Their ...

The first study used functional MRI to examine brain activity while participants ... less complex ones in brain regions including the auditory cortex, which is the first cortical waystation ...

The stimuli in the experiment were sounds played at different pitches. After imaging the auditory cortex of mice, a part of the cerebral cortex that processes sound, they found that groups of neurons ...

In stressed mice, she noted, “We observed an increase in baseline (spontaneous) activity in excitatory cells of the auditory cortex.” In a brain without this heightened baseline activity ...
