Reconstructing sounds from #fMRI data is limited by its temporal resolution. @ykamit &co develop a DNN-based method that aids reconstruction of perceptually accurate sound from fMRI data, offering insights into internal #auditory representations @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4fhNw1Z

Atypical #sensory processing is a common symptom in #AutismSpectrumDisorders. This study reveals impaired frequency discrimination in a rat model of #FragileXsyndrome that is associated with #auditory cortical hyperexcitability & degraded tuning quality #FraX @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4kl46Pk

tACS modulates entrainment to rhythmic #auditory stimuli. @YurannyCabralCalderin & Molly Henry show that effects of tACS depend on the individual's preferred frequency, and that #sensory stimuli have stronger effects than #tACS on behavior when both are applied @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3FyIot4

Multiple NIH training grants have been
terminated that were focused on training Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students
from highschool to PhD. However you are able, wherever you are able, I
encourage you to resist the attempted normalization of segregation and
eugenics.

NEW: Former Gallaudet Employee Speaks Out Against “Deceitful, Fanciful Thinking” in University’s Response to DoEd Layoffs
Disability Rights Watch (2025)

The Deaf and Gallaudet communities need to band together to (1) push the Gallaudet Board of Trustees and administration to acknowledge these facts and lobby—and sue, if necessary—for this restoration and reinstatement, and (2) write to senators and representatives to advocate.

Our latest paper just came out in the Journal of Neuroscience “Neural Dynamics of the Processing of Speech Features: Evidence for a Progression of Features from Acoustic to Sentential Processing.” We follow the cortical processing of four different speech-like stimuli (https://dushk88.github.io/progression-of-neural-features) through the brain, using MEG, from early auditory cortex to areas processing semantic-level information. The results show that each language-sensitive processing stage shows both an early (bottom-up-like) cortical contribution and a late (top-down-like) cortical contribution consistent with predictive coding. https://www.jneurosci.org/content/45/11/e1143242025

Duration adaptation depends on the perceived rather than physical duration and can be observed across sensory modalities https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03010066251314184 "duration adaptation relies on perceived duration and can occur across sensory modalities"; #crossmodal #multisensory #temporal #perception

"adapting to a subjectively matched #visual stimulus produced a significant aftereffect when the test stimulus was #auditory, indicating the existence of the cross-modal adaptation."
