[PDF][PDF] How can hearing loss cause dementia?

…, E Holmes, B McMurray, EA Maguire, AJ Billig… - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
Epidemiological studies identify midlife hearing loss as an independent risk factor for
dementia, estimated to account for 9% of cases. We evaluate candidate brain bases for this …

[HTML][HTML] An online headphone screening test based on dichotic pitch

…, KC Poole, S Zhao, AJ Oxenham, AJ Billig… - Behavior Research …, 2021 - Springer
Online experimental platforms can be used as an alternative to, or complement, lab-based
research. However, when conducting auditory experiments via online methods, the …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamic causal modelling of COVID-19

…, J Daunizeau, OJ Hulme, AJ Billig… - Wellcome open …, 2020 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
This technical report describes a dynamic causal model of the spread of coronavirus through
a population. The model is based upon ensemble or population dynamics that generate …

[HTML][HTML] Second waves, social distancing, and the spread of COVID-19 across the USA

…, J Daunizeau, OJ Hulme, AJ Billig… - Wellcome Open …, 2020 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
We recently described a dynamic causal model of a COVID-19 outbreak within a single
region. Here, we combine several instantiations of this (epidemic) model to create a (pandemic) …

[HTML][HTML] The hearing hippocampus

AJ Billig, M Lad, W Sedley, TD Griffiths - Progress in neurobiology, 2022 - Elsevier
The hippocampus has a well-established role in spatial and episodic memory but a broader
function has been proposed including aspects of perception and relational processing. …

A sound-sensitive source of alpha oscillations in human non-primary auditory cortex

AJ Billig, B Herrmann, AE Rhone… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
The functional organization of human auditory cortex can be probed by characterizing
responses to various classes of sound at different anatomical locations. Along with histological …

[PDF][PDF] Common fronto-temporal effective connectivity in humans and monkeys

F Rocchi, H Oya, F Balezeau, AJ Billig, Z Kocsis… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
Human brain pathways supporting language and declarative memory are thought to have
differentiated substantially during evolution. However, cross-species comparisons are missing …

[PDF][PDF] Lexical influences on auditory streaming

AJ Billig, MH Davis, JM Deeks, J Monstrey, RP Carlyon - Current Biology, 2013 - cell.com
Biologically salient sounds, including speech, are rarely heard in isolation. Our brains must
therefore organize the input arising from multiple sources into separate "streams" and, in the …

Dissociable neural information dynamics of perceptual integration and differentiation during bistable perception

A Canales-Johnson, AJ Billig, F Olivares… - Cerebral …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
At any given moment, we experience a perceptual scene as a single whole and yet we may
distinguish a variety of objects within it. This phenomenon instantiates two properties of …

[HTML][HTML] Oscillatory correlates of auditory working memory examined with human electrocorticography

S Kumar, PE Gander, JI Berger, AJ Billig, KV Nourski… - Neuropsychologia, 2021 - Elsevier
This work examines how sounds are held in auditory working memory (AWM) in humans by
examining oscillatory local field potentials (LFPs) in candidate brain regions. Previous fMRI …
