A growing literature is demonstrating a link between working memory (WM) and speech-in-
noise (SiN) perception. However, the nature of this correlation and which components of WM …

Empathy for pain engages both shared affective responses and self-other distinction. In this
study, we addressed the highly debated question of whether neural responses previously …

While excessive noise exposure in childhood has been associated with reduced language
ability, few studies have examined potential underlying neurobiological mechanisms that …

Imaging and neurocognitive studies have searched for the brain areas involved in speech
perception, specifically when speech is accompanied by noise, attempting to identify the …

Successful communication in daily life depends on accurate decoding of speech signals that
are acoustically degraded by challenging listening conditions. This process presents the …

Objectives Cochlear implant (CI) users exhibit large variability in understanding speech in
noise. Past work in CI users found that spectral and temporal resolution correlates with …

When speech is masked by competing sound, people are better at understanding what is
said if the talker is familiar compared to unfamiliar. The benefit is robust, but how does …

Sensitivity to repetitions in sound amplitude and frequency is crucial for sound perception.
As with other aspects of sound processing, sensitivity to such patterns may change with age …

Background The involvement of specific basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits in response
inhibition has been extensively mapped in animal models. However, the pivotal nodes and …

OBJECTIVES: Noninvasive brain stimulation continues to grow as an effective, low-risk way
of improving the symptoms of brain conditions. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) …
