Microsaccade direction reveals the variation in auditory selective attention processes

This study investigates how microsaccade direction relates to auditory spatial attention and finds that it is biased toward the attended ear and correlates with auditory brainstem responses.

Human-like Modulation SensitivityEmerging through Optimization to Natural Sound Recognition

This study shows that optimizing a neural network for natural sound recognition leads to human-like amplitude modulation sensitivity, suggesting evolutionary adaptation in auditory processing.

Impact of conscious awareness on pupillary response to faces

This study investigates how conscious awareness affects pupillary responses to faces using continuous flash suppression, finding that pupillary constriction correlates with face processing entering consciousness.

Cascaded Processing of Amplitude Modulation for Natural Sound Recognition

This study shows that cascaded processing of amplitude modulation in a deep neural network optimized for natural sound recognition mirrors neural representations in the auditory system.

Rapid ocular responses are a robust marker for bottom-up driven auditory salience

The paper shows that microsaccade inhibition within 300ms of sound onset is a reliable indicator of auditory salience, validated through crowd-sourced ratings and neural measurements.

Phasic norepinephrine is a neural interrupt signal for unexpected events in rapidly unfolding sensory sequences - evidence from pupillometry

The paper shows that phasic pupil dilations correlate with unexpected structural violations in sensory sequences, indicating norepinephrine tracks unexpected uncertainty.
