The effects of music training in relation to brain plasticity have caused excitement, evident
from the popularity of books on this topic among scientists and the general public …

The human soundscape is characterized by complex sounds with rich harmonic structures,
dynamic amplitude modulations, and rapid spectrotemporal fluctuations. This complexity is …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …

Frequency-following responses (FFRs) are neurophonic potentials that provide a window
into the encoding of complex sounds (eg, speech/music), auditory disorders, and …

Steady-state evoked potentials can be recorded from the human scalp in response to
auditory stimuli presented at rates between 1 and 200 Hz or by periodic modulations of the …

By Fourier's theorem, signals can be decomposed into a sum of sinusoids of different
frequencies. This is especially relevant for hearing, because the inner ear performs a form of …

A computational model of auditory analysis is described that is inspired by psychoacoustical
and neurophysiological findings in early and central stages of the auditory system. The …

This paper presents a quantitative model for describing data from modulation-detection and
modulation-masking experiments, which extends the model of the “effective” signal …

Developmental deficits that affect speech perception increase the risk of language and
literacy problems, which can lead to lowered academic and occupational accomplishment …
