MEASURING CORTICAL ACTIVITY DURING AUDITORY PROCESSING WITH FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY
Journal Title: Journal of Hearing Science - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical, non-invasive neuroimaging technique that investigates human brain activity by calculating concentrations of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin. The aim of this publication is to review the current state of the art as to how fNIRS has been used to study auditory function. We address temporal and spatial characteristics of the hemodynamic response to auditory stimulation as well as experimental factors that affect fNIRS data such as acoustic and stimulus-driven effects. The rising importance that fNIRS is generat-ing in auditory neuroscience underlines the strong potential of the technology, and it seems likely that fNIRS will become a useful clinical tool.

EFFECT OF AGE ON TIME-COMPRESSED SPEECH PERCEPTION AND SPEECH PERCEPTION IN NOISE IN NORMAL-HEARING INDIVIDUALS
Background: This work studied, in individuals with normal hearing, the perception of time-compressed speech, compression ratio, and speech perception in noise using phonemically balanced (PB) word lists in Kannada. The e...

A REVIEW OF THE CLINICAL APPLICABILITY OF SPEECH-EVOKED AUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSES
Through a systematic literature review, this paper evaluates the clinical applicability of speech-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). The survey was done on five databases, with the following key words: speech AB...
