TLDR
The fundamental perceptual unit in hearing is the 'auditory object', which is the computational result of the auditory system's capacity to detect, extract, segregate and group spectrotemporal regularities in the acoustic environment.Abstract:
The fundamental perceptual unit in hearing is the 'auditory object'. Similar to visual objects, auditory objects are the computational result of the auditory system's capacity to detect, extract, segregate and group spectrotemporal regularities in the acoustic environment; the multitude of acoustic stimuli around us together form the auditory scene. However, unlike the visual scene, resolving the component objects within the auditory scene crucially depends on their temporal structure. Neural correlates of auditory objects are found throughout the auditory system. However, neural responses do not become correlated with a listener's perceptual reports until the level of the cortex. The roles of different neural structures and the contribution of different cognitive states to the perception of auditory objects are not yet fully understood.read more

TL;DR: A uniform, systematic, and comprehensive approach to studying sequences is proposed, with the goal of clarifying research terms used in different fields, and facilitating collaboration and comparative studies.

TL;DR: It is argued that higher- order language combinatorics, including sentence and discourse processing, can be situated in a unified, cross-species dorsal-ventral streams architecture for higher auditory processing, and that the functions of the dorsal and ventral streams in higher-order language processing can be grounded in their respective computational properties in primate audition.

Cortical alpha oscillations as a tool for auditory selective inhibition
TL;DR: Cort cortical alpha (~10 Hz) oscillations measurable using M/EEG as a pivotal mechanism to selectively inhibit the processing of noise to improve auditory selective attention to task-relevant signals to set the stage for future studies on the inhibitory role of alpha oscillations for speech processing in challenging listening situations.

A Spatial Map of Onset and Sustained Responses to Speech in the Human Superior Temporal Gyrus
TL;DR: The findings suggest that onset and sustained responses not only define the basic spatial organization of high-order auditory cortex but also have direct implications for how speech information is parsed in the cortex.

TL;DR: It is concluded that at least six different cerebral processes can contribute to the Nl wave of the human auditory evoked potential, and that they often last much longer than the true N1 components that they overlap.

Mechanisms of Visual Attention in the Human Cortex
TL;DR: Functional brain imaging studies reveal that, both in the absence and in the presence of visual stimulation, biasing signals due to selective attention can modulate neural activity in visual cortex in several ways.
