The study of speech processing and auditory perception encompasses the investigation of how the human brain deciphers complex acoustic signals into meaningful linguistic units. At its core, this ...

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 ...

In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature. Study: Early maturation of sound duration ...

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 ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is a condition that affects how the brain processes auditory information, even in the presence of normal hearing.

A study of individuals with misophonia found that approximately 65% of them have received at least one other psychological disorder diagnosis. The most common additional diagnoses were depression (49% ...

Individuals with chronic back pain reported significantly higher levels of auditory sensitivity compared with pain-free ...
