Task-dependent activations of human auditory cortex during pitch discrimination and pitch memory tasks.

19 Oct 2009 The functional organization of auditory cortex (AC) is still poorly understood. Previous studies suggest segregation of auditory processing streams for spatial and nonspatial information located in the posterior and anterior AC, respectively ... Read more...

Behaviorally measured audiograms and gap detection thresholds in CBA/CaJ mice.

29 Sep 2009 Tone detection and temporal gap detection thresholds were determined in CBA/CaJ mice using a Go/No-go procedure and the psychophysical method of constant stimuli. In the first experiment, audiograms were constructed for five CBA/CaJ mice. Thresholds ... Read more...

Tone discrimination and speech perception benefit in Mandarin-speaking children fit with HiRes fidelity 120 sound processing.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare tone discrimination, speech perception, and general listening benefit in Mandarin-speaking children using standard HiRes and after 1, 3, and 6 months of HiRes 120 use. The HiResolution Bionic Ear is an implantable prosthesis ... Read more...
