The temporal lobe is part of the cerebral cortex. It plays a role in memory, enables people to process sound and vision, and is crucial for recognizing objects and language. Dysfunction in the ...

Recent advances in machine learning have shown that deep neural networks (DNNs) can provide powerful and flexible models of neural sensory processing. In the auditory system, standard linear-nonlinear ...

Researchers identify a brain pathway in humans that enables rapid, unconscious fear responses to scary sounds, similar to visual fear shortcuts.

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 of ...
