D id you know that the mafia was started in Sicily as a civil organization to protect the interests of local business from foreign governments far away on the Continent? Does this sound familiar to those who voted for Brexit? Yet, the mafia morphed into an ugly monster fueled by fear, hatred, greed, and a thirst for power. The Allies revived the organization after World War II because they had ...

Introduction The brain stem auditory nuclei carry out a wide variety of transformations of the signals carried by the auditory nerve. Although basic frequency and intensity information is first encoded in the cochlea, brain stem circuitry must perform further neural definitions and refinements of these parameters, as well as integrate the cues necessary for the localization of sounds in space. ...

transcription of a musical piece from an instrument to the other, is an age-old work in this field. we have scores from the renaissance period that don’t have any specific orchestration therefore could be performed with any combination of  instruments. also transcription of symphonies or operas for piano was common during the nineteenth century. we look over four editions of  bach’s first suite...

TO THE EDITOR: In a recent study, Meenderink and van der Heijden (2010) investigated an important mechanism involving the reverse propagation of sounds in the cochlea by measuring group delays of distortion products (DPs). The cochlear microphonic potential (CM) from the round window and the sound pressure in the ear canal were measured when DPs were evoked using a multitone f1 stimulus and a s...

The auditory system is faced with two tasks when a sound is heard. One is to identify the sound and the other is to localize it in space. Both tasks depend on the remarkable ability of auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) to synchronize their responses to the temporal envelope or to the fine structure of the sound. For example, to understand speech, we must track the envelopes of speech sounds (Shannon...
