It is generally accepted that during periods of attention to specific stimuli there are changes in the neural activity of central auditory structures; however, it is controversial whether attention can modulate auditory ...

The mammalian brain is connected to the ear through corticofugal pathways. These neural circuits link non-auditory regions of the cerebral cortex like frontal and visual areas with the auditory cortex or the inferior ...

Working memory (WM) designates the retention of objects or events in conscious awareness when these are not present in the environment. Many studies have focused on the interference properties of distracter stimuli in ...

The effect produced by a warning stimulus(i) (WS) in reaction time (RT) tasks is commonly attributed to a facilitation of sensorimotor mechanisms by alertness. Recently, evidence was presented that this effect is also ...

© 2017 Jorratt, Delano, Delgado, Dagnino-Subiabre and Terreros. The auditory efferent system is a neural network that originates in the auditory cortex and projects to the cochlear receptor through olivocochlear (OC) ...

The aim of this project has narrowed around cortico-cochlear modulations under selective attention to visual stimuli. Visual and auditory tasks were performed in alternating fashion by subjects whose electroencephalogram ...
