In humans, the superior temporal sulcus (STS) combines auditory and visual information. However, the extent to which it relies on visual information from the ventral or dorsal stream remains uncertain. To address this, we analyzed open-source functio...
Computational models of neural processing in the auditory cortex usually ignore that neurons have an internal memory: they characterize their responses from simple convolutions with a finite temporal window. To circumvent this limitation, we propose ...
Cortical circuits feature both excitatory and inhibitory cells that underlie the encoding of dynamic sensory stimuli, e.g., speech, music, odors, and natural scenes. Although previous studies have shown that inhibition plays an important role in shap...
OBJECTIVE: Subjective tinnitus often coexists with hearing loss, and they share common pathophysiological mechanisms. This comorbidity induces whole-brain gray matter volume (GMV) alterations, manifesting as distributed structural changes in neural n...
Models that predict brain responses to stimuli provide one measure of understanding of a sensory system and have many potential applications in science and engineering. Deep artificial neural networks have emerged as the leading such predictive model...
Rapid progress in technologies such as calcium imaging and electrophysiology has seen a dramatic increase in the size and extent of neural recordings. Even so, interpretation of this data requires considerable knowledge about the nature of the repres...
Auditory event-related fields (ERFs) measured with magnetoencephalography (MEG) are useful for studying the neuronal underpinnings of auditory cognition in human cortex. They have a highly subject-specific morphology, albeit certain characteristic de...
Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can non-invasively modulate neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex, in particular at the frequency of the applied stimulation. Such modulation can matter for speech processing, since the latter in...
Understanding how the human brain processes auditory input remains a challenge. Traditionally, a distinction between lower- and higher-level sound features is made, but their definition depends on a specific theoretical framework and might not match ...
Auditory cortex exhibit a capacity of modulating the functions of subcortical auditory nuclei and even inner ear through descending pathways. The cochlear nucleus (CN), which acts as the gateway from the auditory periphery to the central auditory sys...
