A new study co-led by Human Brain Project researchers in France has revealed how consciously listening generates sound-specific assemblies of neurons in the brain. While awake, hundreds of nerve cells ...

Understanding how the brain creates conscious experience remains one of science’s most difficult challenges. Brain scans and ...

The human brain is remarkably adept at adjusting what we hear based on contexts, like our current environment or priorities, but it's still unknown how exactly the brain helps us detect, filter and ...

This collection seeks to advance our understanding of how sound is perceived and processed by biological systems, with a particular focus on the cognitive and psychological mechanisms underpinning ...
