When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

The brain does not merely recognize the human voice. A study from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) shows that certain areas of our auditory cortex specifically react to the vocalizations ...

Hysell V Oviedo receives funding from NIH. Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels – linguistic, emotional and musical – and acts as a biological ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Brain mapping reveals the circuitry involved in distinguishing self-generated sounds from external noises, advancing our understanding of human speech and auditory hallucinations. Have you ever ...

Voice experiments in people with epilepsy have helped trace the circuit of electrical signals in the brain that allow its hearing center to sort out background sounds from their own voices. Such ...

For decades, scientists have suspected that the voices heard by people with schizophrenia might be their own inner speech gone awry. Now, researchers have found brainwave evidence showing exactly how ...

Hearing imaginary voices is a common but mysterious feature in schizophrenia. Up to 80 percent of people with the disease experience auditory hallucinations—hearing voices or other sounds when there ...

I recently attended the International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) in Reno, Nevada, where scientists from around the world gathered to share their research on how the multiple senses (vision, ...
