This is pretty cool - reptile found that can sense low frequency sound with the saccule: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2024.09.016
(I'll edit with a direct PDF link in a sec)

Hearing evolved in fishes, where the swim bladder as a big resonant cavity reached out to touch the vestibular organ and kinda vibrate it. That is only good for low frequencies, so to some degree the history of the evolution of audition has been a quest for higher frequencies - thinning out a tympanic membrane, the evolution of the inner ear by stealing jawbones, the enlargement of the brain case to close off the middle ears (our eustachian tubes are vestigial remnants of what used to be an "open passageway" from ear to ear).

Sound is a veridical readout of the matter that produces it, so different frequency ranges contain different kinds of information, and small things including textures and material composition are only audible with higher frequency ranges. Low freqs are important too, but especially with the transition to land, needing to handle the impedance mismatch between fluid filled bodies and open air makes an organ that can hear a wide range of frequencies challenging.

So the cochlea gets all the attention as the auditory organ because its one of the most remarkably precise and Scientifically Magical organs out there, but the vestibular system is cool too. It's basically a bag of saltwater and rocks and when you jangle your head around the rocks touch little hair cells and tell you you're moving.

Because of its torrid history the auditory system is sort of a clusterfuck, but these researchers found direct projections from the Saccule through to the auditory midbrain. They're sensitive to vibration (through a surface), not sound (through the air), but still go to auditory system, so while we have no idea what the perceptual reality is like, i dont think it is unfair to say that the geckos "hear vibration."

Tomorrow, Thursday March 24 2023, 10 AM Eastern, I will be giving a talk at the Boston University Center for Stroke Recovery...which is also on zoom! Come join if you can. #Hearing, #speech, face masks, pupillometry, brain imaging, and probably some other stuff i'm forgetting. #AuditoryNeuroscience #Listening Effort

Consequences of Acoustic Challenge During Spoken Communication

Everyday communication is full of acoustic challenges, including background noise, competing talkers, or assistive devices. How do listeners understand speech in the midst of this noise? Evidence from multiple sources is consistent with a shared resource framework of speech comprehension in which domain-general cognitive processes supported by discrete regions of frontal cortex are required for successfully understanding speech. These increased cognitive demands can be captured using behavior pupillometry and functional brain imaging. Although frequently studied in the context of hearing loss, these principles have broader implications for our understanding of how auditory and cognitive factors interact during spoken language comprehension.

Wow, prior art from 1973! It is someone's PhD dissertation. I don't know if I was previously aware of a P. W. Stevenson. I cannot figure out the full name.

Hello #Auditory #Science folks, do you know who this is? I believe they got their PhD from the University of #Essex

Stevenson, P. W. (1973). Reaction time measurements in speech discrimination tasks—An automated system with closed response sets. Journal of Phonetics, 1(4), 347-367.

@DoellingKB THIS is the content I’m here for

#hearing #AuditoryNeuroscience

@soundbrainlab @jpeelle I’ll also be there at ARO #2023MWM with some of my lab. Really looking forward to catching up with everyone who can make it. #auditoryneuroscience

@jpeelle Many of our lab members and #AuditoryNeuroscience collaborators will be there! Looking forward to it 😎

Is anyone attending ARO #2023MWM next month? #AuditoryNeuroscience

and while we are on the subject there do not seem to be many posts tagged #AuditoryNeuroscience, which is a real shame

#introduction
I am neuroscientist and engineer. Our lab at Johns Hopkins University BME is interested in how the brain computes information about the world and how this representation is shaped by sensory experience from early development up until old age. We focus on the auditory system and use in vitro and in vivo optical and electrophysiological methods, behavioral approaches, etc.

@nannybee @ttpphd A very big part of understanding speech occurs in the brain rather than the ears. So, speech processing can potentially be affected like many other things your brain does when you’re tired. The question of how well the speech perception process is understood is a big one and depends in part on what exactly is meant by “speech”. An expert in #AuditoryNeuroscience might have a better answer.

Hello Mastodon, we meet again.

I'm a microscopist with a background in #infectiousdisease , #vaccines , and #auditoryneuroscience (a perfectly sensible mix). I run the light and electron microscopy facility at the UCL Ear Institute with my technical hat on, and collaborate on projects about the structural basis of #hearing and #balance with my researcher hat on. With my outreach hat on, I co-chair the outreach committee in the #volumeem #vEM community initiative.

I may have too many hats.

Hello to the #auditory #auditoryneuroscience #auditoryscience people on Mastodon!

We have a guppe (🐟) group now. How to use:

"I want to get group messages in my feed":

Follow the account @audsci

"I want to broadcast messages to the group":

Just mention the group in your toot, like this: @audsci

@kaitclark Ah thank you!
