“Since the early 1900s, scientists believed spoken word recognition took place behind the primary auditory cortex, but that model did not fit well with many observations from patients with speech ...

As it turns out, the primary auditory cortex in people who are profoundly deaf focuses on touch, even more than vision, in our experiment." There are several ways the finding may help deaf people.

The adult primary auditory cortex was defined in this study by physiological properties, such as short-latency (7–15 ms) responses and continuous tonotopy (CF increasing from posterior to anterior).

We tested a range of DNN architectures on data from primary and non-primary auditory cortex, varying number and size of convolutional layers at the input and ... Deep learning models consistently ...

Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind ...

Researchers from the HSE Center for Language and Brain have identified previously unknown age-related changes in brain activity during the perception of auditory information in a group of children ...

Levitin, best known for his 2006 book “This Is Your Brain on Music,” tackles a more specific subject this time out: the ...

Researchers examined the effects of aging on neuroplasticity in the primary auditory cortex, the part of the brain that processes auditory information. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ...

Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind ...

They criticize the conventional view that the primary visual cortex (in the occipital lobe) is little more than a reception point for signals coming from the eyes, via the optic nerve and thalamus.

Researchers at MIT conducted the study in which ten participants listened to 165 different sounds—some music, some not—while having the auditory cortex in their brains monitored using fMRI technology.
