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 ...

Bats exhibit remarkable sensory adaptations that enable them to navigate, forage and communicate in complex and cluttered environments. At the heart of their extraordinary capabilities lies ...

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 ...

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is when the brain cannot interpret sounds correctly. People may also refer to APD as central auditory processing disorder. People with APD may find it difficult to ...

Studies on misophonia have compared the newly termed disorder to Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders, synesthesia, anger management problems, disorders related to impulse control, and ...

Recent headlines in the United Kingdom earlier this year attributed noise-canceling headphones as a possible culprit in rising rates of auditory processing disorder (APD) and hearing problems in ...

We are in sound overload, even when we are not consciously aware of it. Those with misophonia may be casualties of the overwhelming environment.
