Auditory Physiology: Cortical Assistance for the Auditory Signals-to-Symbols Transformation

نویسنده

  • Purvis Bedenbaugh
چکیده

How the temporal information that is crucial for understanding speech and music is processed in the brain is poorly understood, but a new study shows how the auditory cortex is tuned to the spectro-temporal acoustic features characteristic of natural biological sounds.

A Novel Method for Automated Estimation of Effective Parameters of Complex Auditory Brainstem Response: Adaptive Processing based on Correntropy Concept

Objectives: Automated Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) peak detection is a novel technique to facilitate the measurement of neural synchrony along the auditory pathway through the brainstem. Analyzing the location of the peaks in these signals and the time interval between them may be utilized either for analyzing the hearing process or detecting peripheral and central lesions in the human he...

Using Eye Movement Analysis to Study Auditory Effects on Visual Memory Recall

Recent studies in affective computing are focused on sensing human cognitive context using biosignals. In this study, electrooculography (EOG) was utilized to investigate memory recall accessibility via eye movement patterns. 12 subjects were participated in our experiment wherein pictures from four categories were presented. Each category contained nine pictures of which three were presented t...

سایکوآکوستیک و درک گفتار در افراد مبتلا به نوروپاتی شنوایی و افراد طبیعی

Background: The main result of hearing impairment is reduction of speech perception. Patient with auditory neuropathy can hear but they can not understand. Their difficulties have been traced to timing related deficits, revealing the importance of the neural encoding of timing cues for understanding speech. Objective: In the present study psychoacoustic perception (minimal noticeable differen...

نوروپاتی شنوایی چیست؟

Auditory neuropathy is a disorder where the transmission of auditory signals from inner ear to the auditory nerve and auditory brainstem is distorted. Auditory neuropathy is not a homogenous disorder, rather, a collection of auditory abnormalities with distinctly different sites of dysfunction, diverse etiologies and causes, variations in patterns of auditory findings, and in most cases, corres...
