Interactions between cognition and circadian rhythms: attentional demands modify circadian entrainment.

29 Sep 2009 Animals and humans are able to predict and synchronize their daily activity to signals present in their environments. Environmental cues are most often associated with signaling the beginning or the end of a daily activity cycle, but they can also ... Read more...

Speech-perception-in-noise deficits in dyslexia.

30 Aug 2009 Speech perception deficits in developmental dyslexia were investigated in quiet and various noise conditions. Dyslexics exhibited clear speech perception deficits in noise but not in silence. Place-of-articulation was more affected than voicing or ... Read more...

Efficacy of linear frequency transposition on consonant identification in quiet and in noise.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Frequency transposition has gained renewed interest in recent years. This type of processing takes sounds in the unaidable high-frequency region and moves them to the lower frequency region. One concern is that the transposed sounds mask ... Read more...
