This study aims to decode the hemodynamic responses (HRs) evoked by multiple sound-categories using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The six different sounds were given as stimuli (English, non-English, annoying, nature, music, and gunshot). The oxy-hemoglobin (HbO) concentration changes are measured in both hemispheres of the auditory cortex while 18 healthy subjects listen to 10-s blocks of six sound-categories. Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks were used as a classifier. The classification accuracy was 20.38 ± 4.63% with six class classification. Though LSTM networks' performance was a little higher than chance levels, it is noteworthy that we could classify the data subject-wise without feature selections.

Neurons in the mouse auditory cortex are strongly influenced by behavior, including both suppression and enhancement of sound-evoked responses during movement. The mouse auditory cortex comprises multiple fields with different roles in sound processing and distinct connectivity to movement-related centers of the brain. Here, we asked whether movement-related modulation in male mice might differ across auditory cortical fields, thereby contributing to the heterogeneity of movement-related modulation at the single-cell level.

Article Synopsis
  • Speech and language processing involves complex interactions between cortical areas responsible for speech production and auditory perception, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • The study used high-field 7 Tesla fMRI to measure brain activity in normal hearing participants as they performed tasks related to speech perception and production.
  • Significant activations in the left precentral, premotor, and inferior frontal cortex were found, suggesting that the same neural networks involved in speech production also play an important role in how we categorize speech sounds.

Objective: A study of auditory displays for simulated patient monitoring compared the effectiveness of two sound categories (alarm sounds indicating general risk categories from international alarm standard IEC 60601-1-8 event-specific sounds according to the type of nursing unit) and two configurations (single-patient alarms multi-patient sequences).

Background: Fieldwork in speciality-focused high dependency units (HDU) indicated that auditory alarms are ambiguous and do not identify which patient has a problem. We tested whether participants perform better using auditory displays that identify the relevant patient and problem.
