Neural correlates of consonance, dissonance, and the hierarchy of musical pitch in the human brainstem.

19 Oct 2009 Consonant and dissonant pitch relationships in music provide the foundation of melody and harmony, the building blocks of Western tonal music. We hypothesized that phase-locked neural activity within the brainstem may preserve information relevant ... Read more...

Nonlinear spectrotemporal interactions underlying selectivity for complex sounds in auditory cortex.

7 Sep 2009 In the auditory cortex of awake animals, a substantial number of neurons do not respond to pure tones. These neurons have historically been classified as "unresponsive" and even been speculated as being nonauditory. We discovered, however, that many ... Read more...

A novel study of mechanical heart valve cavitation in a pressurized pulsatile duplicator.

30 Aug 2009 Submission of data regarding the cavitation potential of a mechanical heart valve is recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the device-review process. An acoustic method has long been proposed for cavitation detection. However, the ... Read more...
