To derive meaning from sound, the brain must integrate information across many timescales.
What computations underlie multiscale integration in human auditory cortex? Evidence …

We review behavioural and neural evidence for the processing of information contained in
conspecific vocalizations (CVs) in three primate species: humans, macaques and …

Research in hearing sciences has provided extensive knowledge about how the human
auditory system processes speech and assists communication. In contrast, little is known …

Human listeners exhibit marked sensitivity to familiar music, perhaps most readily revealed
by popular “name that tune” games, in which listeners often succeed in recognizing a …

Human listeners seem to have an impressive ability to recognize a wide variety of natural

Voices are the most relevant social sounds for humans and therefore have crucial adaptive
value in development. Neuroimaging studies in adults have demonstrated the existence of …

Timbre is a foundational aspect of hearing. The remarkable ability of humans to recognize
sound sources and events (eg, glass breaking, a friend's voice, a tone from a piano) stems …

Listeners can attend to and track instruments or singing voices in complex musical mixtures,
even though the acoustical energy of sounds from individual instruments may overlap in …

Singing voices attract auditory attention in music unlike other sounds. In a previous study,
we investigated the salience of instruments and vocals using a detection task in which cued …
