This book was released on 2012-10-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing and communication present a variety of challenges to the nervous system. To be heard and understood, a communication signal must be transformed from a time-varying acoustic waveform to a perceptual representation to an even more abstract representation that integrates memory stores with semantic/referential information. Finally, this complex, abstract representation must be interpreted to form categorical decisions that guide behavior. Did I hear the stimulus? From where and whom did it come? What does it tell me? How can I use this information to plan an action? All of these issues and questions underlie auditory cognition. Since the early 1990s, there has been a re-birth of studies that test the neural correlates of auditory cognition with a unique emphasis on the use of awake, behaving animals as model. Continuing today, how and where in the brain neural correlates of auditory cognition are formed is an intensive and active area of research. Importantly, our understanding of the role that the cortex plays in hearing has the potential to impact the next generation of cochlear- and brainstem-auditory implants and consequently help those with hearing impairments. Thus, it is timely to produce a volume that brings together this exciting literature on the neural correlates of auditory cognition. This volume compliments and extends many recent SHAR volumes such as Sound Source Localization (2005) Auditory Perception of Sound Sources (2007), and Human Auditory Cortex (2010). For example, in many of these volumes, similar issues are discussed such as auditory-object identification and perception with different emphases: in Auditory Perception of Sound Sources, authors discuss the underlying psychophysics/behavior, whereas in the Human Auditory Cortex, fMRI data are presented. The unique contribution of the proposed volume is that the authors will integrate both of these factors to highlight the neural correlates of cognition/behavior. Moreover, unlike other these other volumes, the neurophysiological data will emphasize the exquisite spatial and temporal resolution of single-neuron [as opposed to more coarse fMRI or MEG data] responses in order to reveal the elegant representations and computations used by the nervous system.

Download or read book Multisensory Imagery written by Simon Lacey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is a pear sweeter than a peach? Which of Mona Lisa’s hands is crossed over the other? What would the Moonlight Sonata sound like played by a brass band? Although these are questions that appeal to mental imagery in a variety of sensory modalities, mental imagery research has been dominated by visual imagery. With the emergence of a well-established multisensory research community, however, it is time to look at mental imagery in a wider sensory context. Part I of this book provides overviews of unisensory imagery in each sensory modality, including motor imagery, together with discussions of multisensory and cross-modal interactions, synesthesia, imagery in the blind and following brain damage, and methodological considerations. Part II reviews the application of mental imagery research in a range of settings including individual differences, skilled performance such as sports and surgical training, psychopathology and therapy, through to stroke rehabilitation. This combination of comprehensive coverage of the senses with reviews from both theoretical and applied perspectives not only complements the growing multisensory literature but also responds to recent calls for translational research in the multisensory field.

Download or read book Auditory Temporal Processing and its Disorders written by Jos J. Eggermont and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Auditory temporal processing' determines our understanding of speech, our appreciation of music, our ability to localize a sound source, and even to listen to a person in a noisy crowd. Sound is dynamic and as such has temporal and spectral content. In disorders such as auditory neuropathy and MS, problems can occur with these temporal representations of sound, leading to a mismatch between auditory sensitivity and speech discrimination. In dyslexia, specific language impairment, and auditory processing disorders, similar problems occur early in life and set up additional cognitive speech processing problems. It has also been found that in disorders such as autism, schizophrenia and epilepsy, temporal processing deficits can occur. This book reviews comprehensively the mechanisms for temporal processing in the auditory system, looking at how these underlie specific clinical disorders, with implications for their treatment. Written by a prolific researcher in auditory neuroscience, this book is valuable for auditory neuroscientists, audiologist, neurologists, and speech language pathologists.
Download or read book Spectrotemporal Processing and Intrinsic Functional Connectivity in Human Auditory Cortex written by Kuwook Cha and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Studying the interaction and connectivity between neurons is important to understanding human perception and behaviors. Functional connectivity, defined as temporal coherence between recordings of neural activity in different locations, is a promising paradigm to study intrinsic dynamics of brain activity. In mammalian sensory cortices, intrinsic functional connectivity revealed by recording spontaneous activity has been positively correlated to sensory tuning similarities of neurons. Human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have also demonstrated similar patterns with respect to retinotopy and somatotopy. Such coherent spontaneous activity have also been reported to be associated with behavior and perception. This thesis seeks to understand the nature of coherent spontaneous activity, that is, intrinsic functional connectivity, in human auditory cortex in relation to its spectrotemporal processing. In Study 1, we obtained fMRI responses to pure tone stimuli and estimated best (preferred) frequencies of individual voxels in human auditory cortex. Intrinsic functional connectivity was computed by correlating residual activity, which was obtained by subtracting stimulus effects from fMRI responses, between every pair of voxels, and their correlations were sorted by difference in best frequencies. This analysis revealed that intrinsic functional connectivity decreases as the difference in best frequencies of paired voxels increases. This effect was consistent within and across hemispheres, and within and across regions of core and belt areas. The effect was preserved even after correcting functional connectivity for distance between voxels. Functional connectivity of the right core area had particularly high frequency preference specificity compared to the other three areas. Consistent results were observed when resting-epoch data were used. Study 2 was designed not only to generalize the tuning specificity of functional connectivity to spectrotemporal tuning properties, but to address functional implications of having tuning-specific functional connectivity. The cortical activity measured in fMRI in response to 72 natural sounds were analyzed to characterize spectrotemporal modulation transfer functions (MTFs) of individual voxels that are parameterized by characteristic frequency, spectral density and modulation rate. These tuning functions provided enough information to classify novel sounds from separate test datasets. Intrinsic functional connectivity was computed by correlating residual activity taken from auditory responses and resting-state activity from a separate run. Functional connectivity from both activity types was specific to the three tuning parameters. To examine the implication of functional connectivity on spectrotemporal processing, we built a model that combines spectrotemporal tuning functions and functional connectivity to predict voxel activity, and tested whether single-trial stimulus identification based on this model is improved compared to the model which uses the tuning functions. When functional connectivity was incorporated into the model, single-trial decoding performance was better than when only the tuning functions are used. The effect was preserved across primary and non-primary auditory cortex in both hemispheres. The results were also confirmed when maximum likelihood decoders with covariance estimated from residual or resting-state activity were used. The findings in the above studies suggest that functional connectivity in human auditory cortex is associated with its functional and anatomical architecture, and that tuning-specifically coherent spontaneous activity is functionally important to neural encoding and decoding mechanisms.
