COCKTAIL PARTY TRAINING INDUCES INCREASED SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY AND DECREASED CORTICAL ACTIVITY IN BILATERAL INFERIOR FRONTAL GYRI. A FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED STUDY

The human brain networks responsible for selectively listening to a voice amid other talkers remain to be clarified.The present study aimed to investigate relationships between cortical activity and performance in a speech-in-speech task, before (Experiment I) and after training-induced improvements (Experiment II).In Experiment I, 74 participants

In this paper, the mesocalibration test was used to measure the contact parameters (restitution coefficient, rolling friction coefficient, static friction coefficient, and surface energy) between coarse aggregate particles and mortar particles in Discrete Element Method (DEM) model of concrete.Then, the DEM model of concrete slump was established a

We describe complimentary imaging technologies in traumatic chorioretinal injury.Color and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images were obtained with a non-mydriatic retinal camera.Optical coherence tomography (OCT) helped obtain detailed images of retinal structure.Microperimetry was used to evaluate the visual function.A read more 40-year-old man su
