Despite its ubiquitous use in medicine, and extensive knowledge of its molecular and cellular effects, how anesthesia induces loss of consciousness (LOC) and affects sensory processing remains poorly ...

Music is a uniquely human activity, but much remains unknown about how it is perceived in the human brain and its computational basis. A new study indicates that not only does the human auditory ...

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 ...

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

We invite you to imagine the tune of Happy Birthday right now! When you imagine this familiar melody, your ears aren’t involved, but some parts of the brain associated with the auditory system do ...
