The complex impact of auditory error direction, magnitude, and exposure on corrective responses

When encountering errors, the brain produces within-production corrective responses to compensate for the errors. The brain also develops adaptive responses to ensure the accuracy of future ...

Improved tactile speech perception and noise robustness using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with amplitude envelope expansion

Recent advances in haptic technology could allow haptic hearing aids, which convert audio to tactile stimulation, to become viable for supporting people with hearing loss. A tactile vocoder strategy ...

Improved tactile speech perception using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with formant frequency focusing

Haptic hearing aids, which provide speech information through tactile stimulation, could substantially improve outcomes for both cochlear implant users and for those unable to access cochlear implants ...

Mechanisms of noise robust representation of speech in primary auditory cortex

We show that the auditory system maintains a robust representation of speech in noisy and reverberant conditions by preserving the same statistical distribution of responses in all conditions.
