Mechanistic insight is achieved only when experiments are employed to test formal or
computational models. Furthermore, in analogy to lesion studies, phantom perception may …

What makes human communication exceptional is the ability to grasp speaker's intentions
beyond what is said verbally. How the brain processes communicative functions is one of …

Selective attention to one of several competing speakers is required for comprehending a
target speaker among other voices and for successful communication with them. It moreover …

How does the mind organize thoughts? The hippocampal-entorhinal complex is thought to
support domain-general representation and processing of structural knowledge of arbitrary …

How do we make sense of the input from our sensory organs, and put the perceived
information into context of our past experiences? The hippocampal-entorhinal complex …

Noise is generally considered to harm information processing performance. However, in the
context of stochastic resonance, noise has been shown to improve signal detection of weak …

In this paper we propose a framework using multi-channel convolutional neural network (MC–
CNN) for recognizing the grammatical class (verb or noun) of covertly-spoken words from …

Musicians can have better abilities to understand speech in adverse conditions such as
background noise than non-musicians. However, the neural mechanisms behind such …

Most parts of speech are voiced, exhibiting a degree of periodicity with a fundamental
frequency and many higher harmonics. Some neural populations respond to this temporal …

The human sleep-cycle has been divided into discrete sleep stages that can be recognized
in electroencephalographic (EEG) and other bio-signals by trained specialists or machine …
