This study investigates how neonatally deafened rats with cochlear implants (CIs) use interaural time (ITD) and level differences (ILDs) for sound localization, finding that ITDs are heavily weighted in their processing.

The paper investigates how 'what' and 'when' predictions interact in speech processing using MEG, finding that their integration is mediated by a shared cortical network rather than separate hierarchies.

This study shows that auditory training alters how ferrets' auditory cortex processes complex sounds, reducing timbre sensitivity across fields but increasing spatial sensitivity and formant frequency integration.

This study investigates hierarchical prediction error signaling in the auditory cortex of awake mice by comparing responses to simple and complex sound pattern violations.

This study shows neonatally deafened rats with bilateral cochlear implants exhibit high sensitivity to interaural level differences (ILDs) across a range of pulse rates, validating rats as a model for binaural auditory prostheses research.

This study shows rats synchronize their licking behavior predictively to metronome beats, outperforming reactive and random models.

This study uses wide-field calcium imaging to evaluate cochlear implant stimulation strategies in rats, finding that simultaneous pulse timing improves neural response discrimination.

This study shows that pulse timing ITDs dominate binaural hearing in cochlear implant users, suggesting arbitrary pulse timing impairs spatial hearing.

The paper investigates how audiovisual coherence and auditory selective attention interact neurophysiologically, finding dissociable effects on ERP amplitude.

This study shows that neonatally deafened rats with cochlear implants can detect interaural time differences (ITDs) up to 900 pulses per second, challenging the notion that high pulse rates limit binaural hearing in humans.

This study shows that augmented reality can modulate thermal pain and detection thresholds by altering body perception.

This study investigates how 'what' and 'when' predictions modulate auditory processing in different contexts, finding context-specific interactions and shared neural mechanisms.

This study decodes mnemonic and predictive representations in the auditory cortex of anesthetized rats using ECoG during stimulus sequences with noise bursts or omissions, showing they arise from overlapping but independent neural populations.

The paper investigates omission responses in rat auditory cortex using extracellular recordings and finds they occur in local field potentials and multiunit activity but not in spiking activity.

The paper examines ITD tuning in the rat inferior colliculus and finds that neural d' correlates better with behavioral performance than mutual information.

This study shows that the precedence effect in spatial hearing develops at the cortical population level but not at individual neuron sites in rats.

The paper analyzes the statistical features of natural sound textures to understand their distribution and redundancy.

The paper investigates neural correlates of auditory pattern learning in anesthetized rats using electrocorticography, finding decreased beta band activity for familiar reference sequences compared to novel sequences.

The paper investigates whether mismatch negativity (MMN) responses differ based on acoustic feature changes, finding no significant differences in univariate analysis but multivariate decoding of features from MMN topography.

This study shows that neonatally deaf rats with cochlear implants can achieve normal interaural time difference discrimination thresholds when provided with synchronized stimulation, suggesting potential improvements in human CI technology or training.

The paper shows that temporal patterns learned in one sensory modality can be transferred to another, with distinct neural mechanisms observed in EEG responses.

The paper develops an artifact removal algorithm for neural recordings, improving signal-to-noise ratio by 20-40 dB across multiple stimulation scenarios.

This study investigates whether selective attention to spatial sound features determines cross-modal activation of visual cortices, finding that the ACOP occurs only when participants attend to sound location.

This study shows that visual contextual information can reweight auditory localization cues, but improvements in sound localization only occur with fully congruent audiovisual training.

The paper shows that low-level auditory processing in rats explains beat perception in music through increased firing rates on beats.

This study shows that sensory cortex neurons are tuned to features that best predict future inputs, as demonstrated by neural networks trained to predict video/audio frames.
