Memory impairment associated with sound processing disorder
Mild memory impairment may be associated with central auditory processing dysfunction, or difficulty hearing in complex situations with competing noise, such as hearing a single conversation amid several other conversations, according to a report in the July issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives... view more...

Do you hear what i see?
New research pinpoints specific areas in sound processing centers in the brains of macaque monkeys that shows enhanced activity when the animals watch a video. view more (2007-02-21)
Brain's 'hearing center' may reorganize after implant of cochlear device
Cochlear implants-electronic devices inserted surgically in the ear to allow deaf people to hear-may restore normal auditory pathways in the brain even after many years of deafness. view more (2007-07-24)
Brain center for 'sound space' identified
While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain terra incognita. Now, researchers have identified the region responsible for a key auditory process-perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds. view more (2007-09-20)
Failure to suppress irrelevant brain activity in Alzheimer disease
A study by Alexander Drzezga and colleagues (of the Technical University Munich, Germany) to be published in the international open access journal PLoS Medicine now shows that this focusing process is defective in people with Alzheimer disease (AD). view more (2005-09-20)
Selective attention increases both gain and feature selectivity of the human auditory cortex
On Sept. 19, a research report by Helsinki University of Technology, Laboratory of Computational Engineering scientists will appear in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, showing that selective attention increases both gain and feature selectivity of the human auditory cortex. view more (2007-09-19)
Lend me your ears -- and the world will sound very different
Recognising people, objects or animals by the sound they make is an important survival skill and something most of us take for granted. But very similar objects can physically make very dissimilar sounds and we are able to pick up subtle clues about the identity and source of the sound. view more (2008-01-14)
Estrogen Controls How the Brain Processes Sound
Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the hormone estrogen plays a pivotal role in how the brain processes sounds. view more (2009-05-06)
Carnegie Mellon scientists show brain uses optimal code for sound
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered that our ears use the most efficient way to process the sounds we hear, from babbling brooks to wailing babies. view more (2006-02-24)
How the brain sorts babble into auditory streams
Known as "the cocktail party problem," the ability of the brain's auditory processing centers to sort a babble of different sounds, like cocktail party chatter, into identifiable individual voices has long been a mystery. view more (2005-10-06)
Gender differences in language appear biological
Although researchers have long agreed that girls have superior language abilities than boys, until now no one has clearly provided a biological basis that may account for their differences. view more (2008-03-04)
Wired for sound: How the brain senses visual illusions
In a study that could help reveal how illusions are produced in the brain's visual cortex, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine have found new evidence of rapid integration of auditory and visual sensations in the brain. view more (2007-04-12)
Hearing changes how we perceive gender
Think about the confused feelings that occur when you meet someone whose tone of voice doesn't seem to quite fit with his or her gender. view more (2007-10-25)
The Human Brain: Detective of auditory and visual change
The human brain is capable of detecting the slightest visual and auditory changes. Whether it is the flash of a student's hand into the air or the faintest miscue of a flutist, the brain instantaneously and effortlessly perceives changes in our environment. view more (2008-01-21)
Rutgers Research: Impairments in Language Development
Uncover how the brains of infants distinguish differences in sounds and it may become possible to correct language problems even before children start to speak, sparing them the difficulties that come from struggling with language. view more (2008-04-11)
Iron deficiency in womb may delay brain maturation in preemies
Iron plays a large role in brain development in the womb, and new University of Rochester Medical Center research shows an iron deficiency may delay the development of auditory nervous system in preemies. view more (2009-05-05)
Ability to listen to 2 things at once is largely inherited, says twin study
Your ability to listen to a phone message in one ear while a friend is talking into your other ear-and comprehend what both are saying-is an important communication skill that's heavily influenced by your genes. view more (2007-07-18)
Brain waves show sound processing abnormalities in autistic children
Abnormalities in auditory and language processing may be evaluated in children with autism spectrum disorder by using magnetoencephalography (MEG), according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-01)
Sound adds speed to visual perception
The traditional view of individual brain areas involved in perception of different sensory stimuli-i.e., one brain region involved in hearing and another involved in seeing-has been thrown into doubt in recent years. view more (2008-08-12)
Sensitivity of brain center for 'sound space' defined
While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain "uncharted territory." Now, researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and elsewhere have identified a region responsible for a key auditory process - perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds,... view more...
