Auditory processing and perception refers to our ability to process and interpret sound information received from the environment. It is relied upon by a large majority for effective communication and ...

Studies on misophonia have compared the newly termed disorder to Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders, synesthesia, anger management problems, disorders related to impulse control, and ...

“I think there is something wrong with his [her] hearing,” is a comment I often hear from parents of children on the spectrum, pertaining to the atypical auditory processing they notice in their loved ...

In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature. Study: Early maturation of sound duration ...

New predictors found: Auditory processing and comprehension-knowledge emerged as the strongest predictors of reading ability, surpassing visual processing and general intelligence. Why it matters: The ...

In aging gerbils, compromised temporal fine structure perception is explained by a more prominent representation in auditory nerve fibers of temporal fluctuations of the signal envelope, rather than ...

Early visual alpha oscillations correlate on a trial-by-trial basis with steady-state responses at later stages of the processing stream, implying a role in signal enhancement and interareal ...

An auditory brainstem implant converts sound into an electrical signal and sends it to the brainstem, so your brain can create the sense of sound. An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a treatment ...

New research reveals that prolonged stress alters brain function, reducing sensitivity to sound over time. This study uncovers how the brain adapts to chronic stress, prioritizing other senses while ...
