Modeling auditory coding: from sound to spikes
Models are valuable tools to assess how deeply we understand complex systems: only if we are able to replicate the output of a system based on the...
-
An assessment of auditory-guided locomotion in an obstacle circumvention task
This study investigated how effectively audition can be used to guide navigation around an obstacle. Ten blindfolded normally sighted participants...
-
Human discrimination of head-centred visual–inertial yaw rotations
To successfully perform daily activities such as maintaining posture or running, humans need to be sensitive to self-motion over a large range of...

The Neural Processing of Frequency Modulations in the Auditory System of Bats
This chapter is concerned with the neural processing of communication calls emitted by bats. The focus is on the processing of frequency modulated...
-
Emotion Modelling via Speech Content and Prosody: In Computer Games and Elsewhere
The chapter describes a typical modern speech emotion recognition engine as can be used to enhance computer games’ or other technical systems’...

Growth and refinement of excitatory synapses in the human auditory cortex
We had earlier demonstrated a neurofilament-rich plexus of axons in the presumptive human auditory cortex during fetal development which became...

Methods of Ascertainment of Personal Damage in Australia
This chapter illustrates the historical, judicial and juridical framework of personal injury assessment and compensation in Australia, illustrating...
-
TRP Channels and Mechanical Transduction
Many physiological processes depend on correctly sensing mechanical forces, including hearing, proprioception and touch. Accordingly, much research...

Tinnitus: animal models and findings in humans
Chronic tinnitus (ringing of the ears) is a medically untreatable condition that reduces quality of life for millions of individuals worldwide. Most...

Psychiatric Issues in the Critically Poisoned Patient
Clinical care of the seriously poisoned patient is usually multidisciplinary, commonly involving various medical specialists, including emergency...
-
Structural brain aging and speech production: a surface-based brain morphometry study
While there has been a growing number of studies examining the neurofunctional correlates of speech production over the past decade, the...

Basic response properties of auditory nerve fibers: a review
All acoustic information from the periphery is encoded in the timing and rates of spikes in the population of spiral ganglion neurons projecting to...
-
Enhanced visual dominance in far space
The Colavita effect refers to the phenomenon that people do not respond to an auditory stimulus in most cases when a visual stimulus is...
-
Formation and disruption of tonotopy in a large-scale model of the auditory cortex
There is ample experimental evidence describing changes of tonotopic organisation in the auditory cortex due to environmental factors. In order to...
-
Brain-Machine Interfaces: From Macro- to Microcircuits
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) establish unidirectional and bidirectional communication channels between the brain and assistive devices, such as...
-
Dynamic firing properties of type I spiral ganglion neurons
Spiral ganglion neurons, the first neural element in the auditory system, possess complex intrinsic properties, possibly required to process...

Correlation between vividness of visual imagery and echolocation ability in sighted, echo-naïve people
The ability of humans to echolocate has been recognized since the 1940s. Little is known about what determines individual differences in echolocation...
-
Response speed advantage for vision does not extend to touch in early deaf adults
Early deaf adults typically respond faster than hearing controls when performing a speeded simple detection on visual targets. Whether this response...

Treatment outcomes and late toxicities in patients with embryonal central nervous system tumors
BackgroundStandard treatment strategies for embryonal central nervous system (CNS) tumors have not yet been established. We treated these tumors...

Audiovisual integration in near and far space: effects of changes in distance and stimulus effectiveness
A factor that is often not considered in multisensory research is the distance from which information is presented. Interestingly, various studies...
