Auditory modelling provides a powerful quantitative framework to study performance in psychoacoustic listening tasks such as signal or modulation detection, and speech perception. Biophysically-inspired auditory models provide the straightforward possibility to account for different aspects of sensorineural ...
Well, it’s been a month since my last entry, that wasn’t my plan. I wanted to do it weekly, but that was just a case of Doug being Doug and not doing anything he doesn’t have to. Sorry. I’ve been “busy”. I don’t mean that as an excuse either. My workload has grow...

What is neurofeedback, and how does it work to regulate brain activity? Neurofeedback is a therapeutic technique that uses real-time monitoring of brain activity to help individuals learn how to self-regulate their brain functions. By providing feedback through visual or auditory signals, it hel...
laminar-specific top-down and bottom-up connections (see Vezoli, Bastos, Fries, this issue for more details). Similar spectral asymmetries in forward and backward message passing have also been found in theauditory system[9••]. The emerging picture is that oscillatory coupling prescribes a...
A1: Ah!#AutINSARchat just started. I’m going to quote-tweet any questions I answer, because it does my head in when people just post ‘A1:’ (or, worse, ‘Q1:’) with no easy way to find what they’re answering. Oh yeah, top research priorities. ...
The cochlea does appear to be involved, but not the middle ear. 69 “Communicating Via the Microwave Auditory Effect” is the title of a small business contract for the Department of Defense. Communication initial results are: “The feasibility of the concept has been established” using both...
That does not mean that some individual marmoset or tamarin pairs might not form pair bonds, and perhaps this capacity in some segments of the population could provide the substrates for the evolution of pair bonding on a wider level. The next section of this review builds on the previous by...
What does "florid" mean? Florid refers to something that is excessively ornate, intricate, or flowery in style or design. 10 Is psychosis always a lifelong condition? Not always. Some people may experience a single episode, while others may have recurring episodes or need ongoing treatment. 7...
