The use of high-density optical brain imaging in listeners with cochlear implants shows increased activity in frontal cortex during speech perception compared to those with normal hearing.

Ear canal EEG and pupillometry reveal disordered temporal processing in adults with normal hearing who struggle to understand conversations in noisy backgrounds.

Syntactic structure-building processes can be applied to speech that is task-irrelevant and should be ignored, demonstrating that Selective Attention does not fully eliminate linguistic processing of competing speech.

Brain activity patterns in motor cortex differ when we listen to speech as opposed to produce it.

The brain’s projection of linguistic knowledge onto speech is reflected by the automatic, reflexive neural tracking of phrases, while the distribution of phrasal-rate tracking and connectivity, particularly the involvement of inferior frontal cortex, is subject to task demands.

Behavioural evidence and computational analyses suggest that people tend to decline the pursuit of more rewarded goals because they, wrongly, expect them to require more effortful actions.

Early deaf human CI users are often insensitive to sub-millisecond interaural time differences (ITDs); however, with synchronized CIs, early deafened rats learned to lateralize small ITDs near 50 µs.

A multivariate approach identifying structural and functional factors underpinning dimensions of psychopathology in over 5000 children.

Physiological evidence shows that the pupillary response to imagined light can be used to index the strength and vividness of an individual’s visual imagery and as a new tool for confirming aphantasia.
