The paper uses fMRI and multivariate pattern analysis to show that acoustic features are represented independently in primary auditory cortex and integrated in parietal cortex.

The paper uses EEG and pupillometry to show that familiar music elicits faster pupil dilation and different EEG responses compared to unfamiliar music within the first 350 ms after stimulus onset.

This study uses pupillometry to measure sustained attention in young and older listeners during auditory tasks, finding that pupil diameter reflects task difficulty and attentional effort.

The paper shows that listeners detect changes in auditory scenes better when sources have regular patterns, even if they are unaware of the regularity.

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.

This study shows that high visual load impairs auditory figure-ground segregation, suggesting it requires attention rather than being automatic.

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

The paper shows that brain responses to sound deviants are larger in patterned sequences than in random ones, indicating context-dependent processing of regularity.

This study investigates how visual gaze direction affects auditory attention and finds that misalignment between gaze and auditory attention increases response times and alters neural activity in specific brain regions.
