Anybody here going to Forum Acusticum #FA2023 in Torino next week? My team will be there in force with 3 oral presentations:

• 12 September (11:40 - 12:00): Alejandro Osses “Using auditory models to mimic human listeners in reverse correlation experiments from the fastACI toolbox” (https://hal.science/hal-04186363/document)
• 13 September (17:20 - 17:40): Laurianne Cabrera “Development of Auditory Sensitivity to Amplitude Modulation Cues: Sensory and Cognitive Determinants and Relationship With Speech Intelligibility”
• 14 September (11:00 - 11:20): Géraldine Carranante “Auditory Reverse Correlation applied to the study of place and voicing: four new phoneme-discrimination tasks” (https://hal.science/hal-04130939v1/document)

Electrophysiological evidence for increased auditory #crossmodal activity in adult #ADHD https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2023.1227767/full "https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2023.1227767/full "#visual cortex shows more activation during a focused #auditory task in adults with ADHD than in healthy controls"

(2014) Tracking the evolution of #crossmodal #plasticity and visual functions before and after sight-restoration (PDF) https://journals.physiology.org/doi/epdf/10.1152/jn.00420.2014 "In primary #visual #cortex, crossmodal #auditory responses overlapped with visual responses and remained elevated even 7 mo after surgery" #neuroscience

In this conference paper for #ForumAcousticum #FA2023 we replicate Ahumada's seminal experiment from 1975 on tone-in-noise perception using our own #OpenSource fastACI toolbox (https://github.com/aosses-tue/fastACI), and we analyze the data obtained by an artificial listener from the (also #OpenSource) Auditory Modeling Toolbox on the task. It's very satisfactory to have a network of interconnected toolboxes working together... And of course all analyses can be reproduced easily using the commands listed in the article. You can even run the experiment on yourself to replicate Ahumada's original results! #replication #OpenCode #Auditory #Psychoacoustics

An excerpt from Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus about #music and ambiguity:
« Relationship [in music] is everything. And if you want to give it a more precise name, it is "ambiguity." To illustrate the meaning of the word, he played for me chord-progressions belonging to no definite key; demonstrated for me how such a progression fluctuates between C major and G major, if one leaves out the F [...] how it keeps the ear uncertain [...] "You know what I find?" he asked. "That music turns the equivocal into a system. Take this or that note. You can understand it so or respectively so. You can think of it as sharpened or flattened, and you can, if you are clever, take advantage of the double sense as much as you like." »
This somewhat echoes the conclusion of a scientific paper by Pressnitzer, Suied and Shamma on #Auditory Scene Analysis :
« Music is an especially challenging stimulus to make sense, as most of it is abstract without any clear reference to an external object. By embedding several latent perceptual organizations into complex acoustical scenes, music may well be able to challenge the listener with a rich set of possibilities that can be freely entertained, with no other potential consequence than being surprised, rejoiced, or moved. » https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00158/full #ASA #AuditorySceneAnalysis #MusicPerception #Cognition #CognitiveScience

This research is at the juncture between #psycholinguistics, #phonetics and #auditory perception, employing the Auditory #ReverseCorrelation (#revcorr) experimental paradigm. This approach unravels the acoustic cues employed by listeners in diverse auditory tasks, shedding light on individual perception strategies. @psycholinguistics

Comparing mental imagery experiences across visual, auditory, and other sensory modalities https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.15.540306v1 "most people reported that #auditory #mental #imagery was #superior to #visual mental imagery on almost every metric tested, except with respect to spatial properties"

This is such an excellent thread covering so many variables for running #games, especially #TTRPGS, and mentions the effects actions can have on those with #autism, #ADHD, all kinds of #visual, #auditory, or #processing #disabilities, and how to tweak #gaming to include and make as enjoyable as possible for everyone.

Although #RSV is a serious #health issue, this RSV #ad by #GSK promoting their medication is disruptive in the home and also causes auditory issues for me and others with certain health issues and it needs to get pulled off the air, esp local TV stations

Imagine this going off randomly in your home, esp in surround sound with #auditory triggers with your #autonomic disease. #Marketing #TV #Advertising #neuroscience

Hello everyone! I'm looking for #London based #Polish #participants for an exciting #auditory
#neuroscience #research. I'm having trouble finding participants who have lived in the UK for less than 18 months, so I'd appreciate your help! 🙏 Study involves listening to an audiobook during EEG recording at Birkbeck. It's relaxing, takes 1 hr and pays £10. Students, non-students, workers, unemployed, temporary residents, or short-term visitors are welcome. Thanks!
