Bats exhibit remarkable sensory adaptations that enable them to navigate, forage and communicate in complex and cluttered environments. At the heart of their extraordinary capabilities lies ...

A new study shows that while humans struggle to identify AI-generated voices, their brains rapidly adapt to detect subtle acoustic differences between real and deepfake speech.

Computational models that mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system could help researchers design better hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. A new study ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is when the brain cannot interpret sounds correctly. People may also refer to APD as central auditory processing disorder. People with APD may find it difficult to ...

When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not sound driven ...

A study led by a speech neuroscientist at The University of Texas at Dallas sheds light on how damage from stroke disrupts the brain mechanisms required for fluent speech. The research, published in ...

Studies on misophonia have compared the newly termed disorder to Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders, synesthesia, anger management problems, disorders related to impulse control, and ...

Hearing is so effortless for most of us that it’s often difficult to comprehend how much information the brain’s auditory system needs to process and disentangle. It has to take incoming sounds and ...

We are in sound overload, even when we are not consciously aware of it. Those with misophonia may be casualties of the overwhelming environment.
