New iPod listening study shows surprising behavior of teens
A new study involving iPods and teenagers by the University of Colorado at Boulder and Children's Hospital Boston indicates teenagers who receive pressure from their peers or others to turn down the volume of their iPods instead turn them up higher. view more (2009-02-19)
Essential tones of music rooted in human speech
The use of 12 tone intervals in the music of many human cultures is rooted in the physics of how our vocal anatomy produces speech, according to researchers at the Duke University Center for Cognitive Neuroscience. view more (2007-05-25)
Baby got math
Cognitive neuroscientists have shown that babies have an abstract numerical sense, as demonstrated by their ability to match the number of voices they hear to the number of faces they expect to see. view more (2006-02-14)
Nicotine exposure during development leads to hearing problems
Scientists know that children of women who smoke during pregnancy can develop hearing-related cognitive deficits. For the first time, researchers believe they have evidence that not only implicates nicotine as the culprit, but also shows what the substance does to the brain to cause these deficits. view more (2006-07-19)
Listening to the sound of skin cancer
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia can now detect the spread of skin cancer cells through the blood by literally listening to their sound. view more (2006-10-17)
Yale researchers find environmental toxins disruptive to hearing in mammals
Yale School of Medicine researchers have new data showing chloride ions are critical to hearing in mammals, which builds on previous research showing a chemical used to keep barnacles off boats might disrupt the balance of these ions in ear cells. view more (2006-04-12)
New research in Chesapeake Bay, Pamlico Sound shows hurricanes, runoff tax water quality management efforts
A scientific study that involved analyzing phytoplankton in both North Carolina's Neuse River Estuary/Pamlico Sound and Maryland and Virginia's Chesapeake Bay offers a new lesson in light of recent increased hurricane activity along the East Coast, researchers say. view more (2005-12-23)
Making the connection between a sound and a reward changes brain and behavior
If you've ever wondered how you recognize your mother's voice without seeing her face or how you discern your cell phone's ring in a crowded room, researchers may have another piece of the answer. view more (2006-10-23)
Fighting sound with sound, new modeling technique could quiet aircraft
Newly published research by a Princeton engineer suggests that understanding how air travels across the sunroof of a car may one day make jet engines less noisy. view more (2006-02-27)
Selective amnesia — How a traumatic memory can be wiped out
French CNRS scientists in collaboration have shown that a memory of a traumatic event can be wiped out, although other, associated recollections remain intact. view more (2007-04-02)
How a locust's eardrum could lead to tiny microphones
Being able to hear the smallest of noises is a matter of life or death for many insects, but for the scientists studying their hearing systems understanding how insect ears can be so sensitive could lead to new microphones able to capture and analyse extremely faint sounds. view more (2006-03-31)
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)
The musician in the mirror
A new imaging study shows that when we learn a new action with associated sounds, the brain quickly makes links between regions responsible for performing the action and those associated with the sound. view more (2007-01-15)
Sound understanding of indoor acoustics could make hearing easier
An innovative technique that, for the first time, accurately measures exactly how sound behaves in 'real-world' situations is now under development-and could improve acoustics in buildings ranging from concert halls to railway stations. view more (2006-09-08)
Learning a second language -- Is it all in your head?
Think you haven't got the aptitude to learn a foreign language? New research led by Northwestern University neuroscientists suggests that the problem, quite literally, could be in your head. view more (2007-07-26)
Study of NYC transit system noise levels finds daily rides can result in hearing loss
In a new survey of noise levels of the New York City transit system, researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health found that exposure to noise levels in subways have the potential to exceed recommended guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). view more (2006-10-12)
The Secrets of Stradivarius

Island Ferries Take on Role of Research Vessels Collecting Data about Nantucket Sound
Ferries that connect Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are taking on another role-research vessels. view more (2006-08-30)
Cranking up the volume-- Sounds travel farther underwater as world's oceans become more acidic
It is common knowledge that the world's oceans and atmosphere are warming as humans release more and more carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. However, fewer people realize that the chemistry of the oceans is also changing--seawater is becoming more acidic as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the oceans. view more (2008-09-30)
A Neural Mosaic of Tones
The brain filters what we hear. It can do this in part because particular groups of neurons react to specific frequencies of sound. view more (2006-06-23)
