Human brains do something peculiar when a chimpanzee screams or hoots. Instead of treating those sounds as generic animal ...

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

Music has been central to human cultures for tens of thousands of years, but how our brains perceive it has long been shrouded in mystery. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have developed a precise ...

The human brain is remarkably adept at adjusting what we hear based on contexts, like our current environment or priorities, but it's still unknown how exactly the brain helps us detect, filter and ...

A low-dimensional voice latent space derived from deep learning captures speaker-identity representations in the temporal voice areas and supports reconstruction of voices preserving identity ...

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 ...

Hysell V Oviedo receives funding from NIH. Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels – linguistic, emotional and musical – and acts as a biological ...

Hearing aids are quietly undergoing a revolution, shifting from simple sound amplifiers to wearable computers that can read ...

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 ...

Researchers have added to a stack of existing evidence that 40 Hz gamma frequencies could help to treat Alzheimer's disease.
