The ability to form auditory objects is important in the natural environment where sounds arriving at our ears are a resultant of all spectro-temporal components that may have arisen from different auditory events. It has ...

The anterior thalamus and hippocampus are part of an extended network of brain structures underlying cognitive functions such as episodic memory and spatial navigation. Earlier work in rodents has demonstrated that hippocampal ...

Healthy ears generate sounds known as otoacoustic emissions that can be evoked and measured in the ear-canal using small, low-noise microphones. The ability to measure acoustic signals that originate within the cochlea ...

Large pharmaceutical companies (Multinational Pharmaceutical Companies or MPCs) have struggled in recent years with the rapidly accelerating costs of drug-discovery research and development. These costs continue to rise ...

The goal of this thesis study was to understand the role of TGF-[beta] in skin photoaging, especially in solar elastosis. Solar elastosis, the accumulation of elastotic material in the dermal extracelluar matrix, is a major ...

Developing a consensus on how to model neural and behavioral responses and to quantify important response properties is a challenging signal processing problem because models do not always adequately capture the data and ...
