Purpose: The contributions from the central auditory and cognitive systems play a major role in communication. Understanding the relationship between auditory and cognitive abilities has implications for auditory rehabilitation for clinical patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to address the question, “In…

Sound is processed in primate brains along anatomically and functionally distinct streams: this pattern can be seen in both human and non-human primates. We have previously proposed a general auditory processing framework in which these different perceptual profiles are associated with different computational…

Auditory cortex connectivity extends beyond the processing of acoustic stimuli, playing a crucial role in cognitive and emotional regulation through its interactions with higher-order brain regions. Although the neural mechanisms underlying acoustic information processing along the auditory pathway are well-documented…

We present an initial set of factors, features, and constraints for developing a Computational Auditory System (CAS, aka less formally an artificial ear, AE) for use by cognitive architectures. We start to define a CAS and what tasks it should be able to perform. We then outline the features of a CAS for use by a…

Background/Objectives: Retrocochlear auditory dysfunctions (RADs), including auditory neuropathy (AN) and auditory processing disorders (APD), encompass disorders characterized by impaired auditory processing beyond the cochlea. This narrative review critically examines their distinguishing features, synthesizing…

Contrary to traditional thinking about hearing in which the broadband audio spectrum is taken as a whole, modern hearing science has gradually uncovered how the channel-based temporal envelope and its own spectrum are often prioritized by the auditory system. This is achieved through various processing mechanisms at…

It is well known that ageing and noise exposure are important causes of sensorineural hearing loss, and can result in damage of the outer hair cells or other structures of the inner ear, including synaptic damage to the auditory nerve (AN), i.e., cochlear synaptopathy (CS). Despite the suspected high prevalence of CS…

Simple Summary The listening brain must resolve the mix of sounds that reaches our ears into events, sources, and meanings. In this process, noise-sound that interferes with our ability to detect or understand sounds we need or wish to-is the primary challenge when listening. Importantly, noise to one person, or in one…

'Manabu Nishiura' 'Yasunori Toshimitsu' 'Yuki Asano' 'Kei Okada' 'Koji Kawasaki' 'Masayuki Inaba'] Human-like environment recognition by musculoskeletal humanoids is important for task realization in real complex environments and for use as dummies for test subjects. Humans integrate various sensory information to…

This paper provides a conceptual framework for soundscape appraisal as a key outcome of the hearing process. Sound appraisal involves auditory sense-making and produces the soundscape as the perceived and understood acoustic environment. The soundscape exists in the experiential domain and involves meaning-giving.…

'Magdalena Beata Skarzynska' 'Piotr Henryk Skarzynski' 'Daniela Gil'] Introduction Peripheral hearing loss, besides causing inadequate auditory input, can lead to distortions in the tonotopic auditory map and reorganization of neural networks. Therefore, the processing of temporal aspects of a sound stimulus and…

How the human auditory cortex prioritizes relevant information amid concurrent sounds has been a long-standing question in auditory cognitive neuroscience. The present study used auditory steady-state responses (ASSR) to tag the electrocortical response to a tone embedded in concurrent naturalistic sounds, addressing…

Listeners with hearing loss often struggle to understand speech in noise, even with a hearing aid. To better understand the auditory processing deficits that underlie this problem, we made large-scale brain recordings from gerbils, a common animal model for human hearing, while presenting a large database of speech and…

Humans are remarkably skilled at understanding speech in noisy environments. While segregation of different audio streams is mostly accomplished in the auditory cortex, neural feedback connections run from the cortex to the brainstem and to the cochlea. The latter organ not only houses the mechanosensitive hair cells…

Our brain seamlessly integrates distinct sensory information to form a coherent percept. However, when real-world audiovisual events are perceived, the specific brain regions and timings for processing different levels of information remain less investigated. To address that, we curated naturalistic videos and recorded…

In this work, we investigate the phenomenon of transverse resonance and transverse standing waves that occur within the cochlea of living organisms. It is demonstrated that the predisposing factor for their occurrence is the cochlear shape, which resembles a conical acoustic tube coiled into a spiral and exhibits…

Music is an important part of life for many people. It can evoke a wide range of emotions, including sadness, happiness, anger, tension, relief and excitement. People with hearing loss and people with cochlear implants have reduced abilities to discriminate some of the features of musical sounds that may be involved in…

The definition of a hearing aid core which is based on a prescription neural network (such as NAL-NL2) is defined here. This hearing aid core replaces a traditional compressor hearing aid core which mimics the said hearing aid prescription. Whilst the replacement of the compressors for a neural network may seem simple…

Acoustic measurements of batteries are known to be correlated to their state-of-charge, creating opportunities for state estimation that do not rely on electrical signals. State estimators are typically parametric models fitted from data, often from the broad toolbox of machine learning. Such models can be easily…
