Early frequency loss in the human hearing range (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) is being better detected thanks to recent developments in artificial intelligence-driven audiology. Given age and environmental ...

Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new details about how the brain organises learned vocalisations such as birdsong.

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

Sensory systems appear to learn to transform incoming sensory information into perceptual representations, or “objects,” that can inform and guide behavior with minimal explicit supervision. Here, we ...

For auditory learners and content creators, NotebookLM offers the ability to transform source materials into podcasts. By analyzing documents, it creates conversational audio summaries of key ...

Researchers have developed a computational framework that maps how the brain processes speech during real-world conversations. Using electrocorticography (ECoG) and AI speech models, the study ...

Auditory learners are those who process and remember information better when they hear it. They enjoy listening to lectures, podcasts, audio books, or music. They also like to participate in ...

The auditory system employs a variety of mechanisms to achieve this auditory scene analysis. First, neurons across levels of the auditory system exhibit compensatory adaptations to their gain and ...

In summary, this work uncovers how neurons in the auditory cortex underlie working memory. Further research focusing on these neurons could explain how working memory deteriorates with age, or why it ...
