Structural connectivity of auditory-linguistic brain networks predicts success in speech categorization and listening in noise

The paper links individual differences in speech categorization and listening in noise to neuroanatomical properties of auditory-linguistic brain networks.

Structural integrity of auditory-linguistic brain networks varies with cognitive status and accounts for speech-in-noise deficits across the adult lifespan

The paper examines how structural changes in auditory-linguistic brain networks relate to cognitive status and speech-in-noise perception in older adults.

Perceptual consistency in phoneme categorization is driven by neural consistency and predicts improved speech-in-noise performance

This study shows that perceptual consistency in phoneme categorization is linked to neural consistency and predicts better speech-in-noise performance.

Auditory experience shapes how listeners exploit perceptual equivalency classes in speech and cope with noise degradation: Evidence from ''elliptical speech''

The paper examines how auditory experience influences the use of perceptual equivalency classes in speech perception under noise, finding differences between musicians and non-musicians.

Auditory brainstem-cortical anatomy constrains the magnitude of frequency-following responses (FFRs) and event-related potentials (ERPs) coding speech-in-noise

The paper examines how auditory brainstem and cortical anatomy influences the magnitude of frequency-following responses (FFRs) and event-related potentials (ERPs) in speech-in-noise perception.

Consistency in phonetic categorization predicts successful speech-in-noise perception

The paper examines how perceptual consistency and working memory predict speech-in-noise perception performance in listeners.

Musicianship modulates cortical (but not brainstem) effects of attention on processing musical triads

This study shows that musicianship enhances cortical processing of musical chords, particularly under passive conditions, while brainstem responses show no group differences.

Functional benefits of continuous vs. categorical listening strategies on the neural encoding and perception of noise-degraded speech

This study compares continuous and categorical listening strategies on speech perception in noise, finding continuous strategies improve performance and neural resilience.

Myogenic artifacts masquerade as neuroplasticity in the auditory frequency-following response (FFR)

The paper shows that up to 50% of the auditory frequency-following response (FFR) originates from muscle artifacts rather than neural activity, challenging the assumption that FFRs reflect neuroplasticity.

Duplex perception reveals brainstem auditory representations are modulated by listeners' ongoing percept for speech

This study shows brainstem auditory responses reflect category-level speech representations, indicating abstract processing occurs earlier than previously thought.
