Entrainment effects and information processing in coupled oscillator models of auditory biomechanics

This study uses coupled oscillator models to show how entrainment and clustering affect information processing in the auditory system, revealing global encoding effects and linking nonlinear dynamics to hearing mechanisms.

Neural correlates of masked and unmasked tones: psychoacoustics and late auditory evoked potentials (LAEPs)

The paper investigates how masking release affects the salience of masked tones at supra-threshold levels using psychoacoustic and electrophysiological measures.

The effect of the preceding masking noise on monaural and binaural release from masking

The paper investigates how preceding masking noise affects monaural and binaural release from masking using comodulated masking release and binaural masking level difference cues.

Perceptual weighting of binaural lateralization cues across frequency bands

The paper investigates how the auditory system weights binaural cues across frequency bands in broadband stimuli and finds that spectral weights vary with frequency and temporal context.

Supra-threshold perception and neural representation of tones presented in noise in conditions of masking release

This study investigates how neural representations and perceptual salience of tones in noise vary with masking release, finding that P2 amplitude correlates with audibility while subjective ratings are inconsistent.
