This study characterizes ultrasonic acoustic output from a MEMS-based audio device in human temporal bones, measuring sound pressure levels and vibration velocities to assess biological exposure.

The paper shows that opponent coding in auditory belt cortex improves amplitude-modulated noise detection through specific pooling methods.

The paper investigates how attention affects auditory cortex neurons and finds that while single neurons show mixed selectivity, population-level analysis reveals enhanced encoding of attended sound features through emergent population codes.

This study compares how neurons in primary and middle lateral auditory cortex of macaques encode amplitude modulation, finding differences in phase locking and firing rate responses.

The paper investigates how selective attention affects neural encoding and choice-related activity in auditory cortex during a feature-based attention task in rhesus macaques.
