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

Automating ergonomic assessment improves both objectivity and cost-effectiveness.
However, existing ergonomic scales remain susceptible to inaccuracy and insensitivity when …

In the field of neurobiology of language, neuroimaging studies are generally based on
stimulation paradigms consisting of at least two different conditions. Designing those …

Data classification, the process of analyzing data and organizing it into categories or
clusters, is a fundamental computing task of natural and artificial information processing …

How is information processed in the cerebral cortex? In most cases, recorded brain activity is
averaged over many (stimulus) repetitions, which erases the fine-structure of the neural …

Recently, it was proposed that a processing principle called adaptive stochastic resonance
plays a major role in the auditory system, and serves to maintain optimal sensitivity even to …

Human hearing loss (HL) is often accompanied by comorbidities like tinnitus, which is
affecting up to 15% of the adult population. Rodent animal studies could show that tinnitus …

The idea of combining artificial intelligence, in particular deep neural networks, and
computational modeling with neuroscience and cognitive sciences has recently gained …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom percept without external sound sources. Despite the high
prevalence and tinnitus-associated distress of affected patients, the pathophysiology of …

The modulation of the acoustic startle reflex (ASR) by a pre-stimulus called pre-pulse
inhibition (PPI, for gap of silence pre-stimulus: GPIAS) is a versatile tool to, eg, estimate …
