Influence of a Nicotinic Treatment on Auditory Sensory Processing in Schizophrenia
… to widespread psychosocial, cognitive and sensory processing dysfunctions, which are generally experienced before the onset of the first psychotic episode. At the sensory level, early auditory information processing deficits, characterized at the neural level with event-related potentials …

The role of auditory sensory input during functional pre- and postsynaptic maturation of the calyx of Held synapse
… compared to those at higher synapses along the auditory pathways. We characterized functional properties of calyx synapses in wildtype (wt) compared to those developing in CaV1.3 subunit-deficient (CaV1.3-/- deaf) mice. The latter are deaf because of absence of glutamate release from IHC and …

An ERP Study to Investigate Age-Related Differences in Sensory Gating and Auditory Processing
Sensory gating is a mechanism that inhibits neurological responses to redundant information. Although studied within clinical populations, sensory gating has rarely been investigated with respect to aging. The present research investigated age-related changes in auditory sensory gating using …

Cognitive Differentiation of Schizophrenia and Depression
An ERP study of sensory and working memory was designed to avoid confounding MMN with other components. Schizophrenics, depressives, and controls performed a tone discrimination task, in which subjects counted or ignored tones. Evidence of memory abnormalities emerged as a function of diagnosis and …

The Effects of multilingualism and Music Experience on Tone and Vowel Discrimination Ability
… of a tonal language and music experience on auditory discrimination by employing tone and vowel discrimination tasks. A total number of 8,769 observations were analyzed using logistic regression to answer the following questions: (1) Do vowel and tone discrimination abilities correlate with …

Modified postnatal social experience alters intersensory development of bobwhite quail chicks
… to integrate information from the various sensory modalities. The present study utilized a precocial avian infant, the bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), to explore 1) what types of postnatal social experience young chicks require to successfully pair sights and sounds and 2) when these …

Enhancing Augmented Reality with Audio: When and why it boosts online purchase intention
… one can gain an extensive understanding of it. Auditory sensory is the second crucial human sense. The literature documenting AR's impact on customers' decision-making and behavioural intentions has overlooked the role of audio in this environment. This study investigates the role of audio …

The influence of ploidy level on the hearing sensitivity of the sister species Hyla chrysoscelis and Hyla versicolor
… in the inner ears, and electrical activity in an auditory nucleus of the brain. All morphological features were slightly larger in H versicolor than H chrysoscelis; including SVL, body mass, interaural distance, and eardrum diameter. Hearing sensitivity did not differ between the two species, …

INTEGRATION OF INTRA-AUDITORY MODALITIES FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF MOTOR PERFORMANCE AND COORDINATION IN A CONSTANT FORCE PRODUCTION TASK
… system (CNS) integrates multiple sources of sensory information and coordinates multiple effectors in human movement. Much attention has been directed to the integration of multiple modalities between sensory organs (e.g., visual and auditory, visual and tactile, or visual and proprioceptor), …

A binaural sound sources localisation application for smart phones
… pave way for the use of smart phones as advanced auditory sensory devices capable of acting as avatars for intelligent remote systems to learn about different acoustic scenes with help of human users. The GCC-PHAT algorithm was chosen as the underlying core DOA algorithm due to its suitability for …

Ontogeny of Prepulse Inhibition Across Sensory Systems
… the published papers are limited to testing one sensory system at one age. The present study is a continuation of our research assessing whether PPI response curves differ as a modality of the prepulse as well as the maturation of such curves across early development. In the present study, we …

The role of individual variation in auditory and visual processing: implications for mate choice
… exchange of courtship signals in different sensory modalities. My work focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to variation in male sexual signals and variation in female sensory perception and behavioral responses to these signals. I addressed several specific research …

Investigation of Sensory Cell-Specific Changes in Gene Expression in Microrna-183 Family Knockout Mouse Inner Ear From Bulk RNA Sequencing Analysis
… for maintaining cochlear function and protecting auditory sensory cells. Changes in microRNA expression have been linked to different types of hearing loss, including age-related, noise-induced, and genetic or congenital. Our lab focuses on the miRNA-183 family, which includes three microRNAs: …

Optimality of human acoustic perception of natural sounds, and violin acoustics elucidated with a non-corporeal musical instrument made by fully air-coupled finite-element-modeling of the Titian Stradivarius
… to organisms, systems or machines that rely on auditory sensory perception with natural sound to survive or function effectively. In the second part of this thesis, we look at music perception and build a non-corporeal instrument: a fully air-coupled finite-element-modeled Titian Stradivarius …

Revealing the plastic brain with functional connectivity: effects of exercise on brain plasticity and cognition
… relevant brain networks, and primary motor and auditory sensory networks. Results showed that aerobic training improved the aging brain’s functional coherence selectively in higher-level cognitive networks. One year of walking increased functional connectivity between aspects of the frontal, …

Erklärung von Rechtschreibleistungen durch phonologische und auditiv-sensorische Informationsverarbeitungskompetenzen: Eine Untersuchung mit lese-/rechtschreibgestörten Kindern
Die hier beschriebene Arbeit hatte zum Ziel, eine zukünftige Nutzbarkeit des MMN-Paradigmas als physiologisches Frühdiagnostikum der Lese-/Rechtschreibschwäche zu prüfen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Indikatoren der auditiv-sensorischen Verarbeitung (EEG-Paradigma der Mismatch Negativity; MMN) und …
