Neural health refers to the condition and functionality of the auditory nerve fibers (ANFs),which are crucial for transmitting sound signals from the cochlea to the brain.However, neural health cannot be directly measured due to current…
The auditory system displays remarkable sensitivity and frequency discrimination, attributes shown to rely on an amplification process that involves a mechanical as well as a biochemical response. Models that display proximity to an…
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a notoriously noisy measurement of brain activity because of the large variations between individuals, signals marred by environmental differences during collection, and spatiotemporal…
Simultaneous estimates of the activity in the left and right auditory cortex of five normal human subjects were extracted from Multichannel Magnetoencephalography recordings. Left, right and binaural stimulation were used, in separate runs,…
Past work has reported inverted-U relationships between arousal and auditory task performance, but the underlying neural network mechanisms remain unclear. To make progress, we recorded auditory cortex activity from behaving mice during…
The complex nature of musical emotion introduces inherent bias in both recognition and generation, particularly when relying on a single audio encoder, emotion classifier, or evaluation metric. In this work, we conduct a study on Music…
