The ability to understand speech in the presence of competing sound sources is an important
neuroscience question in terms of how the nervous system solves this computational …

Speech-in-noise (SIN) perception is a complex cognitive skill that affects social, vocational,
and educational activities. Poor SIN ability particularly affects young and elderly populations, …

Skill learning results in changes to brain function, but at the same time individuals strongly
differ in their abilities to learn specific skills. Using a 6-week piano-training protocol and pre- …

Experiences can alter functional properties of neurons in primary sensory neocortex but it is
poorly understood how stimulus–reward associations contribute to these changes. Using in …

The auditory frequency-following response (FFR) to complex periodic sounds is used to study
the subcortical auditory system, and has been proposed as a biomarker for disorders that …

The ability to segregate target sounds in noisy backgrounds is relevant both to neuroscience
and to clinical applications. Recent research suggests that hearing-in-noise (HIN) problems …

The auditory frequency-following response (FFR) is a non-invasive index of the fidelity of
sound encoding in the brain, and is used to study the integrity, plasticity, and behavioral …

The frequency-following response (FFR) is a measure of the brain's periodic sound encoding.
It is of increasing importance for studying the human auditory nervous system due to …

Recent advances in non-invasive brain–machine or brain–computer interfaces (BMIs/BCIs)
have demonstrated that humans can control computers or simple robotic devices using only …

Individuals with misophonia, a disorder involving extreme sound sensitivity, report significant
anger, disgust, and anxiety in response to select but usually common sounds. While …
