Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind of ...

Both classic and contemporary models of auditory word repetition involve at least four left hemisphere regions: primary auditory cortex for processing sounds; pSTS (within Wernicke’s area) for ...

Humans and other animals gradually learn what sounds or other sensory cues in their surroundings are meaningful or potentially threatening. Via a process known as habituation, they gradually learn to ...

The auditory steady state response (ASSR) arises when periodic sounds evoke stable responses in auditory networks that reflect the acoustic characteristics of the stimuli, such as the amplitude of the ...

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, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...
