Physiological Markers of Auditory Situational Awareness in Complex Spatialised Scenes

This study investigates how spatial changes in auditory scenes affect physiological responses like pupil dilation and microsaccades, revealing location-invariant early orienting and location-sensitive arousal responses.

Auditory regularity detection in the ferret

This study shows ferrets can detect transitions to regular auditory patterns, suggesting this ability is not unique to humans.

Spatial auditory change detection in listeners with hearing loss

This study investigates how sensorineural hearing loss affects spatial auditory change detection, finding that hearing loss, age, and spatial location influence detection accuracy and speed.

Assessing Behavioral and Neural Correlates of Change Detection in Spatialized Acoustic Scenes

This study examines how spatialization and sound source characteristics affect auditory change detection behavior and neural responses.

Reversible inactivation of ferret auditory cortex impairs spatial and non-spatial hearing

This study inactivates ferret auditory cortex using cooling or optogenetics to assess its role in spatial and non-spatial hearing, finding impairments in vowel discrimination in noise but not in clean or spatially separated conditions.

The role of temporal coherence and temporal stability in the build-up of auditory grouping

This study investigates how temporal coherence and temporal predictability in precursor sounds influence auditory grouping and masking by testing their effects on tone detection.

An online headphone screening test based on dichotic pitch

The paper introduces a rapid headphone screening test based on Huggins Pitch to identify headphone users in online auditory experiments, showing higher selectivity than existing methods.

Seasonal weight changes in laboratory ferrets

This study establishes a normative weight dataset for female ferrets, showing seasonal weight fluctuations and the impact of water regulation on these changes.
