the auditory system of CI users typically suffers from pervasive neural degeneration due to long-term deafness before the implantation. This inadequate peripheral input to the auditory cortex results in weaker cortical responses to sound, which in turn leads to poorer frequency...
For this study the binaural-beat stimulation did not have a significant impact on attention, but participants reported subjectively experiencing less problems associated with inattention during the study period (5). Unfortunately, one of the main limitations of this study was that ...
Finally, auditory cortex brain slices from adolescent HL animals reveal synaptic deficits that are distinct from those typically observed after critical period deprivation. Taken together, these results show that diminished adolescent sensory experience can cause long-lasting behavioral deficits that originate...
We typically use a logarithmic scale to deal more easily with the huge range in units of intensity, the decibel (dB) system. The dB scale is a relative (not absolute) scale and is based upon the ratio of two quantities: the relative intensity of a sound based on either the sound ...
With small feature separation between the two sounds (marked by Δ on the figure) and slow-to-medium presentation rates (marked with the onset-to-onset interval, the Stimulus Onset Asynchrony on the figure), this sequence of sound is typically experienced as a single coherent stream (marked ...
Auditory scene analysis and localization of sounds in space entail formidable computational problems (Bregman, 1990): these are solved efficiently and automat- ically by the normal brain but potentially significant in brain disorders associated with reduced spatial acuity, such as Alzheimer's...
auditory but not facial features seemed to play a role. Having a heterosexual- rather than a gay-sounding voice created the impression that the speaker had typically masculine traits, which in turn increased the chance to be positively evaluated for the position and to be considered worthy of a...
The extensive nature of these changes in the structural and functional brain networks has a negative impact on the cognitive functions of patients with TLE, such as problems with perceptual organization, academic 1Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, SunYat-sen ...
they serve to maintain appropriate air flow and consequently are essential to the overall health of the middle ear space. The bony confines of thenasopharynxare significantly smaller in children with Down syndrome than in typically developing children; however, the amount of soft tissue is similar ...
While these studies on the modality effect typically have assessed short-term memory, the classic study on long-term memory for visual scenes by Standing (1973) showed that recognition of visually presented words, aurally presented words, and aurally presented music was roughly the same, although...
