(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The overall goal of this dissertation was to study the auditory component of feedback control in speech production. The first study investigated auditory sensorimotor adaptation (SA) as it relates to speech production: the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)To achieve any motor behavior, the central nervous system (CNS) must coordinate the many degrees of freedom in the musculoskeletal apparatus. It has been suggested that the CNS simplifies this formidable task of coordination ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Clinical gait analysis currently involves either an expensive analysis in a motion laboratory, using highly accurate, if cumbersome, kinematic systems, or a qualitative analysis with a physician or physical therapist making ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Normal-hearing listeners have a remarkable ability to hear in noisy environments, while hearing-impaired listeners and automatic speech-recognition systems often have difficulty in noise. With the ultimate goal of improving ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Many brain tumors are localized deeply and are currently surgically inaccessible without causing severe damage to the overlying structures of the brain. The current spectrum of non-invasive methods for treating such tumors ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Metastasis, the migration of cancer cells from the primary site of tumorigenesis and the subsequent invasion of secondary tissues, causes the vast majority of cancer deaths. To spread, metastatic cells dramatically rearrange ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis describes results from two projects related to the efferent innervation of the cochlea. First, we investigated peripheral olivocochlear effects of sustained contralateral broadband noise in anesthetized guinea ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis explores two aspects of small regulatory RNAs in mammals: (1) the genomic origin of mammalian piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), (2) the evolutionary and functional implication of the seed-based target recognition ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are diverse, comprising nine known mammalian subunits, which are classified pharmacologically into tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) and tetrodotoxin-insensitive (TTX-1) categories. The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Hair cells are the exquisitely-sensitive mechanosensory transducers of the inner ear. While the electrophysiology of hair cells has been extensively studied, little is known about the vital background processes that maintain ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Bilateral cochlear implantation is becoming more common as clinicians attempt to provide better sound-source localization and speech reception in noise for cochlear implant (CI) users. While some improvement over the ...
-
Sound temporal envelope and time-patterns of activity in the human auditory pathway : an fMRI study (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)The temporal envelope of sound strongly influences the intelligibility of speech, pattern analysis, and the grouping of sequential stimuli. This thesis examined the coding of sound temporal envelope in the time-patterns ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) parametric effect, which can be considered an imaging artifact. Additionally, it may be possible to use the nonlinear interaction of scattered waves to form images that rely on the presence of small scatterers; a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Space radiation poses a significant hazard to astronauts on long-duration missions, and the low fluences of charged particles characteristic of this field suggest that bystander effects, the phenomenon in which a greater ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Osteoarthritis is a painful degenerative joint disease affecting millions of people in the U.S. The pathogenesis of articular cartilage disease is characterized by softening of cartilage and loss and disruption of constituent ...
