Recordings from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients typically show strong beta-band oscillations (13-35Hz), which can be modulated by deep brain stimulation (DBS). While high-frequency DBS (>100Hz) ameliorates motor symptoms and reduces beta activity in basal ganglia and motor cortex, the effects of low-frequency DBS (<30Hz) are less clear. Clarifying these effects is relevant for the debate about the role of beta oscillations in motor slowing, which might be causal or epiphenomenal.

How our brain integrates single words into larger linguistic units is a central focus in neurolinguistic studies. Previous studies mainly explored this topic at the semantic or syntactic level, with few looking at how cortical activities track word sequences with different levels of semantic correlations. In addition, prior research did not tease apart the semantic factors from the syntactic ones in the word sequences.

Objectives: To investigate the influence of frequency-specific audibility on audiovisual benefit in children, this study examined the impact of high- and low-pass acoustic filtering on auditory-only and audiovisual word and sentence recognition in children with typical hearing. Previous studies show that visual speech provides greater access to consonant place of articulation than other consonant features and that low-pass filtering has a strong impact on perception on acoustic consonant place of articulation. This suggests visual speech may be particularly useful when acoustic speech is low-pass filtered because it provides complementary information about consonant place of articulation.

Background: The demand for frailty care is continuously increasing in hospitalized tumor patients with the aging of the population. Nurses are the primary care providers of hospitalized tumor patients with frailty but research on exploring their behavior and associated factors is limited. This study aims to describe the current situation of frailty care behaviors in oncology nurses and to explore the factors influencing frailty care behaviors.

Importance: Cochlear implants enable improvements in speech perception, but music perception outcomes remain variable. Image-guided cochlear implant programming has emerged as a potential programming strategy for increasing the quality of spectral information delivered through the cochlear implant to improve outcomes.
Objectives: To perform 2 experiments, the first of which modeled the variance in music perception scores as a function of electrode positioning factors, and the second of which evaluated image-guided cochlear implant programming as a strategy to improve music perception with a cochlear implant.
