Auditory cortex cares about when a sound turns off, and more than preceding auditory processing stages do.
“… neural representations after the sound offset show a three-fold increase in sound encoding accuracy in the cortex relative to subcortical areas.”
This makes sense to me for any mammal that might be prey (like mice, or humans), that negative changes in sounds might be as informative as positive changes in sounds.

Auditory-Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients
Misdiagnosis can lead to delayed treatments and harm. Robotic patients offer a controlled way to train and evaluate clinicians in rare, subtle, or complex cases, reducing diagnostic errors. We present RoboPatient, a medical robotic simulator aimed at multimodal pain synthesis based on haptic and auditory feedback during palpation-based training scenarios. The robopatient functions as an adaptive intermediary, capable of synthesizing plausible pain expressions vocal and facial in response to tac…

Auditory Gamma-Frequency Entrainment Abolishes Working Memory Deficits in a Rodent Model of Autism
Individuals on the autism spectrum often exhibit atypical responses to sensory stimuli and difficulties with behavioral regulation, reflecting altered functional patterns in core sensory-motor circuits. These sensory processing differences suggest the potential for using patterned auditory stimulation to modulate neural activity and mitigate symptoms. While impairments in higher cognitive functions are a hallmark of autism, they remain underexplored in rodent models compared to basic sensory-mo…

Exploring EEG Indicators to Evaluate Listening Difficulties in Noisy Environments
Auditory processing difficulties involve challenges in understanding speech in noisy environments despite normal hearing. However, the neural mechanisms remain unclear, and standardized diagnostic criteria are lacking. This study examined neural indicators using EEG under realistic noisy conditions. Ten Japanese-speaking university students participated in auditory tasks, including a resting state, a lecture attention task with background noise, and a task requiring attention to background nois…

Palpation Alters Auditory Pain Expressions with Gender-Specific Variations in Robopatients

Palpation Alters Auditory Pain Expressions with Gender-Specific Variations in Robopatients
Diagnostic errors remain a major cause of preventable deaths, particularly in resource-limited regions. Medical training simulators, including robopatients, play a vital role in reducing these errors by mimicking real patients for procedural training such as palpation. However, generating multimodal feedback, especially auditory pain expressions, remains challenging due to the complex relationship between palpation behavior and sound. The high-dimensional nature of pain sounds makes exploration…

What's in the Box? Reasoning about Unseen Objects from Multimodal Cues
People regularly make inferences about objects in the world that they cannot see by flexibly integrating information from multiple sources: auditory and visual cues, language, and our prior beliefs and knowledge about the scene. How are we able to so flexibly integrate many sources of information to make sense of the world around us, even if we have no direct knowledge? In this work, we propose a neurosymbolic model that uses neural networks to parse open-ended multimodal inputs and then applie…
