Computational models that mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system could help researchers design better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. A new study ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

Auditory brainstem processing underpins our ability to determine the location of sounds in space, a function that is essential for navigation, communication, and environmental awareness. At the heart ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

Clear hearing is essential for staying connected. Yet, for many, hearing challenges create barriers to communication and cognitive well-being. Tahoe Family Hearing Clinic is bridging that gap with ...

Human brains do something peculiar when a chimpanzee screams or hoots. Instead of treating those sounds as generic animal noise, a small region in the auditory cortex lights up in a way that looks ...

Recent headlines in the United Kingdom earlier this year attributed noise-canceling headphones as a possible culprit in rising rates of auditory processing disorder (APD) and hearing problems in ...

The subset of people who don't experience joy or derive pleasure from music have "musical anhedonia" and it's happening in the brain.
