This study investigates how cognitive goals shape cortical speech processing by comparing comprehension and detection tasks using EEG and a novel MRF method, showing task-specific modulation of spectro-temporal features.

The paper demonstrates that temporal-coherence in sound sequences enhances neural binding and segregation in ferret auditory cortex through attention and rapid plasticity.

The paper investigates how contextual influences on auditory perception are encoded in primary auditory cortex using tritone pairs and single-unit recordings in ferrets.

This study shows that attention to a target voice enhances its representation in ferret auditory cortex and that a computational model replicates this effect, supporting the temporal coherence theory of speech segregation.

The paper shows that sustained EEG responses to stochastic sounds reflect the brain's tracking of statistical precision during sensory processing.

This study investigates neural correlates of perceptual switching in auditory streaming using ERPs and identifies sustained activity in auditory cortex associated with both percept content and switches.

The paper measures physiological responses to salient auditory stimuli in natural soundscapes using EEG and identifies salient portions of the scene through entrainment and oscillatory response reductions.
