Electroencephalography (EEG) monitors ---by either intrusive or noninvasive electrodes--- time and frequency variations and spectral content of voltage fluctuations or waves, known as brain rhythms, which in some way uncover activity during…
Emerging evidence shows that the modular organization of the human brain allows for better and efficient cognitive performance. Many of these cognitive functions are very fast and occur in subsecond time scale such as the visual object…
The human brain receives stimuli in multiple ways; among them, audio constitutes an important source of relevant stimuli for the brain regarding communication, amusement, warning, etc. In this context, the aim of this manuscript is to…
Data Visualization has been receiving growing attention recently, with ubiquitous smart devices designed to render information in a variety of ways. However, while evaluations of visual tools for their interpretability and intuitiveness…
Music, being a multifaceted stimulus evolving at multiple timescales, modulates brain function in a manifold way that encompasses not only the distinct stages of auditory perception but also higher cognitive processes like memory and…
Neural responses are highly variable, and some portion of this variability arises from fluctuations in modulatory factors that alter their gain, such as adaptation, attention, arousal, expected or actual reward, emotion, and local metabolic…
The mapping from sound to neural activity that underlies hearing is highly non-linear. The first few stages of this mapping in the cochlea have been modelled successfully, with biophysical models built by hand and, more recently, with DNN…
Auditory front-end is an integral part of a spiking neural network (SNN) when performing auditory cognitive tasks. It encodes the temporal dynamic stimulus, such as speech and audio, into an efficient, effective and reconstructable spike…
Bimodal stimulation, combining cochlear implant (CI) and acoustic input from the opposite ear, typically enhances speech perception but varies due to factors like temporal mismatch. Previously, we used cortical auditory evoked potentials…
A fundamental inequality governing the spike activity of peripheral neurons is derived and tested against auditory data. This inequality states that the steady-state firing rate must lie between the arithmetic and geometric means of the…
The ability of the mammalian ear in processing high frequency sounds, up to $\sim$100 kHz, is based on the capability of outer hair cells (OHCs) responding to stimulation at high frequencies. These cells show a unique motility in their cell…
In multi speakers environments, cochlear implant (CI) users may attend to a target sound source in a different manner from the normal hearing (NH) individuals during a conversation. This study attempted to investigate the effect of…
Pitch is the perceptual correlate of sound's periodicity and a fundamental property of the auditory sensation. The interaction of two or more pitches gives rise to a sensation that can be characterized by its degree of consonance or…
Detecting auditory attention based on brain signals enables many everyday applications, and serves as part of the solution to the cocktail party effect in speech processing. Several studies leverage the correlation between brain signals and…
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain training with long-term medical and non-medical applications. Despite the existence of several emotion regulation studies using neurofeedback, further investigation is needed to understand interactions…
Neural electromagnetic (EM) signals recorded non-invasively from individual human subjects vary in complexity and magnitude. Nonetheless, variation in neural activity has been difficult to quantify and interpret, due to complex, broad-band…
The auditory pathway is widely distributed throughout the brain, and is perhaps one of the most interesting networks in the context of neuroplasticity. Accurate mapping of neural activity in the entire pathway, preferably noninvasively, and…
Introduction: The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is measured to find the brainstem-level peripheral auditory nerve system integrity in children having normal hearing. The Auditory Evoked Potential (AEP) is generated using acoustic…
This study introduces a novel auditory neuronal network model that integrates speech signal input, cochlear processing, and a cortical excitatory-inhibitory (E-I) balanced network. Our findings reveal that increasing noise intensity…
Spatial hearing, the brain's ability to use auditory cues to identify the origin of sounds, is crucial for everyday listening. While simplified paradigms have advanced the understanding of spatial hearing, their lack of ecological validity…
