Accelerated neural aging as a systems-level vulnerability for tinnitus

This study identifies accelerated neural aging as a risk factor for tinnitus by analyzing MEG and structural imaging data from multiple datasets.

Eye Movements in Silent Visual Speech track Unheard Acoustic Signals and Relate to Hearing Experience

This study shows that eye movements track unheard speech during silent lip-reading and relates to hearing experience, with differences between hearing and deaf groups.

Carrier-frequency specific omission-related neural activity in ordered sound sequences are independent of omissions-predictability

The paper investigates whether neural responses to omitted sounds in tone sequences depend on the predictability of omissions, finding that frequency-specific activity occurs independently of omission predictability.

Network topology in brain tumor patients with and without structural epilepsy- a prospective MEG-study

This study examines network topology in brain tumor patients with and without structural epilepsy using MEG, finding altered network parameters associated with epilepsy but not tumor type.

Age-related changes in 'cortical' 1/f dynamics are linked to cardiac activity

The paper investigates age-related changes in cortical 1/f dynamics and finds they are influenced by cardiac activity, challenging the interpretation of aperiodic signals as purely cortical.

Cochlear activity in silent cue-target intervals shows a theta rhythmic-pattern and is correlated to attentional alpha modulations

The paper investigates cochlear activity during silent cue-target intervals and finds theta rhythmic patterns correlated with attentional alpha modulations.

A backward encoding approach to recover subcortical auditory activity

This paper introduces a backward encoding model to reconstruct auditory brainstem responses from electrophysiological data, showing high correlation between predicted and measured ABRs.

Auditory cortical alpha desynchronization prioritizes the representation of memory items during a retention period

The paper investigates how auditory cortical alpha desynchronization during a retention period prioritizes memory items by reducing interference from distractors.

Decoding across sensory modalities reveals common supramodal signatures of conscious perception

The paper investigates supramodal neural patterns predicting conscious perception across sensory modalities using MEG decoding analysis.

Phantom auditory perception (tinnitus) is characterised by stronger anticipatory auditory predictions

The paper investigates how tinnitus arises by examining anticipatory auditory predictions in individuals with and without tinnitus using MEG data.

Head MagnetoMyography (hMMG): a novel approach to monitor face and whole-head muscular activity

This paper introduces head magnetomyography (hMMG) to monitor whole-head muscular activity, demonstrating its ability to decode stimulus valence and detect previously neglected neck muscle activity.

Automatic and feature-specific (anticipatory) prediction-related neural activity in the human auditory system

The paper shows that auditory predictions in the human brain carry tonotopically specific information, demonstrated through MEG experiments and classifier analysis.
