Auditory Cortex News Today

Whether improperly closing a door or shanking a kick in soccer, our brains tell us when we've made a mistake because these sounds differ from what we expect to hear.

Researchers successfully reconstructed a snippet of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1" using neural recordings from the brains of neurosurgical patients. The study provides insights into the brain regions responsible for music perception and may pave the way for more advanced brain-computer interfaces and therapies for auditory processing disorders.

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 sounds.

It's called an earworm because it's like a musical parasite that burrows into your brain and refuses to leave.

Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare disorder that causes neurocognitive and developmental deficits. However, musical and auditory abilities are preserved or even enhanced in WBS patients.

Researchers for the first time have identified the parts of the brain involved in a less-commonly studied trigger of misophonia, a condition associated with an extreme aversion to certain sounds.

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 aged 7–12 years.
