Unlabelled: Central auditory disorders (CSD) - this is a violation of the processing of sound stimuli, including speech, above the cochlear nuclei of the brain stem, which is mainly manifested by difficulties in speech recognition, especially in noisy environments. Children with this pathology are more likely to have behavioral problems, impaired auditory, linguistic and cognitive development, and especially difficulties with learning at school.
Objective: To analyze the literature data on the epidemiology of central auditory disorders in school-age children.
Material And Methods: As a result of an initial search in databases (PubMed, ClinicalTrials, SCOPUS, ResearchGate, eLibrary, CyberLeninka), 328 articles were found by keywords, after an initial and further detailed analysis, a description of 9 studies is included in the review.
Results: The prevalence of CSD in school-age children varies from 0.2% to 43.3% (median 8.6±14.6%), depending on the research methods used and the criteria for diagnosis. Sophisticated variants of speech audiometry (speech intelligibility in noise, low-excess, dichotic tests) and non-speech tests evaluating frequency and time resolution are most often used as diagnostic methods.
Conclusion: In the future, it is necessary to conduct population-based studies of the epidemiology of central auditory disorders among Russian schoolchildren using a standardized diagnostic protocol and with a sufficient sample size.

At the cortical level, the central auditory neural system (CANS) includes primary and secondary areas. So far, much research has focused on recording fronto-central auditory evoked potentials/responses (P1-N1-P2), originating mainly from the primary auditory areas, to explore the neural processing in the auditory cortex. However, less is known about the secondary auditory areas.

The concept of joint attention holds significant importance in human interaction and is pivotal in establishing rapport, understanding, and effective communication. Within social robotics, enhancing user perception of the robot and promoting a sense of natural interaction with robots becomes a central element. In this sense, emulating human-centric qualities in social robots, such as joint attention, defined as the ability of two or more individuals to focus on a common event simultaneously, can increase their acceptability.

Aims: Previous studies suggested that structural and functional connectivity of right frontotemporal circuits associate with music perception. Emerging evidences demonstrated that structure-function coupling is important for cognition and may allow for a more sensitive investigation of brain-behavior association, while we know little about the relationship between structure-function coupling and music perception.
Methods: We collected multimodal neuroimaging data from 106 participants and measured their music perception by Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA).

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of auditory and visual distraction interventions on patient discomfort, pain and anxiety during office-based otolaryngologic upper airway procedures.
Data Sources: Literature searches were done through Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Lilacs, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature.
Review Methods: The protocol was registered in PROSPERO on August 17th 2022, under Registration number CRD42020204354.
