Distributed and antagonistic contributions of ongoing activity fluctuations to auditory stimulus detection.

19 Oct 2009 Recent studies have shown that ongoing activity fluctuations influence trial-by-trial perception of identical stimuli. Some brain systems seem to bias toward better perceptual performance and others toward worse. We tested whether these observations ... Read more...

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...

Processing of auditory location changes after horizontal head rotation.

12 Oct 2009 Under natural conditions, our sound localization capabilities enable us to move constantly while keeping a stable representation of our auditory environment. However, since most auditory studies focus on head-restrained conditions, it is still ... Read more...
