This study shows humans can detect rising and falling pitch using positive and negative spectrotemporal intensity correlations, analogous to visual motion detection.

This study shows newborns can track rhythmic statistical regularities in music but not melodic information, suggesting rhythm develops earlier than melody.

The paper investigates how emotional content and misophonia sensitivity affect auditory cortex responses to concurrent sounds using ASSR and other measures.

This study investigates how flexible action-sound predictions are in changing environments, showing that predictions adapt at different cortical levels, with unexpected sounds eliciting consistent responses regardless of expectation.

The paper investigates differences in neurophysiological responses to sound onsets and offsets in humans using EEG, finding distinct ERP morphologies and amplitudes for onset and offset cues.

The paper examines how frontotemporal connectivity changes with repeated exposure to musical phrases, showing a shift in figure-ground relationships between melody and lower voices.

This study uses a deep neural network to create a voice latent space that maps to auditory cortex activity, showing it better represents speaker identity than primary auditory cortex.

This study examines how arousal and attention interact during auditory scene analysis by measuring pupil dilation and microsaccades in response to scene changes in predictable versus unpredictable sound environments.

This study investigates how interaural time and level differences affect sound source segregation and spatial selection in auditory tasks.

This study investigates how pitch and time interact in neural encoding of music using chimeric music and TRF analysis, showing structural violations affect expectation processing and beat perception.

The paper investigates the neural correlates of music-evoked visual imagery using EEG and finds that spontaneous imagery is associated with more reliable alpha power suppression compared to deliberate imagery.

The paper examines corticocortical connectivity patterns in response to looming and receding sounds, finding frontal cortical involvement in auditory looming processing without conscious threat perception.

This paper reviews neural signatures of temporal prediction in infants, finding broad cerebral localization and development from sensory-driven to top-down processes.

This study assesses human ability to identify and discriminate time of day from natural soundscapes, finding poor identification but significant discrimination, with decisions based on gross spectral cues.

The paper introduces fastACI, a toolbox for auditory reverse-correlation experiments, demonstrating its use through case studies on auditory perception tasks.

This study shows that macaques can synchronize taps to a subjective beat in real music, challenging the vocal learning hypothesis.

This study investigates how the brain establishes and updates predictive models of auditory patterns using MEG, finding that model reactivation is faster for familiar patterns and involves auditory, hippocampal, and frontal areas.

The paper shows that eye blinks synchronize with musical beats in non-musicians, linking this behavior to neural and white matter mechanisms.

The paper investigates how inharmonicity affects neural responses to auditory stimuli, finding that it enhances attentional capture and auditory stream segregation through distinct neural mechanisms.

This study investigates how auditory contextual memory affects neural representations of predictability in human EEG, showing that predictability is influenced by preceding random tones even after they end.

This study finds that interoceptive ability is positively linked to singing expertise and musical competence, with professional singers showing higher interoceptive accuracy and non-singers with higher interoception performing better in singing accuracy.

The paper investigates how the brain and recurrent neural networks anticipate sequential temporal moments by analyzing neural power modulation and its relationship with task performance.

The paper investigates how task-related activity in auditory cortex affects sound representation by analyzing neuronal dynamics during active and passive listening conditions.

The paper investigates how neural representations of acoustic and tactile rhythms differ, finding that acoustic rhythms elicit low-frequency periodized neural activity linked to motor entrainment, while tactile rhythms show broader frequency responses with less stable tapping.

This paper introduces a deep recurrent neural network to model auditory neural responses, showing it outperforms previous methods and reveals longer memory in auditory neurons.

The paper shows that the auditory cortex uses joint population coding and temporal coherence to integrate voice and location features of attended talkers in multi-talker scenes.

This study investigates how autobiographically salient music affects memory recall in older adults, finding faster reaction times and distinct neurophysiological responses compared to familiar music.

This study uses electrophysiological recordings and generative music models to show that musicians have more structured and left-hemisphere biased neural encoding of music compared to non-musicians.

This study shows that early sound exposure influences sound preferences in mice, with sex-dependent effects on behavior and neural activity.
