Auditory reinforcement: Study finds reading aloud to yourself helps you retain information

January 02, 2018 -

Instead of memorizing silently, speaking words aloud promotes better long-term memory of information.

Professor Colin MacLeod, co-author of the study and chair of the Department of Psychology at the University of Waterloo, says that learning and memorization become easier tasks when activity is involved in the process.

Russia considering “retaliatory action” after Sweden joins NATO

Schizophrenia patients are benefiting from “avatar therapy” which gives a face to their auditory hallucinations

August 11, 2018 -

Threatening, auditory hallucinations are symptoms of schizophrenia. Around 60 to 70 percent of patients with the illness report experiencing these hallucinations. These voices (which may or may not sound like the patient’s own voice) generate too much “noise” in one’s head, causing many schizophrenic patients to be distracted, angry, or irritated. There have also been cases of schizophrenic patients attempting suicide because of these voices. Treatment for this symptom was lackluster ...

New level of intelligence: A new AI can teach itself with a “reinforcement learning algorithm” resulting in “superhuman” abilities within hours

December 24, 2017 -

Even though DeepMind's AlphaZero played against itself for only four hours, it managed to "synthesize the chess knowledge of one and a half millennium." AlphaZero managed to surpass both human players and the reigning World Computer Champion Stockfish with 28 wins to 0 in a 100-game match.

Demis Hassabis, DeepMind's co-founder, is a former chess prodigy. Along with his team, Hassabis aimed to defeat Go, a game that humans had the edge over artificial intelligence (AI)....

Blind people really do have better hearing: The brain adapts to sharpen it

February 19, 2020 -

Brain plasticity allows blind people to hear better

“There’s this idea that blind people are good at auditory tasks, because they have to make their way in the world without visual information. We wanted to explore how this happens in the brain,” said Ione Fine, the senior author of both studies.

According to previous research, a part of the brain called human middle temporal complex (hMT+) becomes sensitive to auditory motion in individuals who had lost their sight ...

The brain adapts to survive: How do people with poor eyesight develop better hearing?

October 14, 2019 -

A study published in The Journal of Neuroscience found that there are two differences in the brains of blind individuals that may be responsible for their superior hearing. This study is one of the first to investigate and provide evidence of the effects of early blindness on the auditory cortex area of the brain.

Premature birth, scheduled or not, is detrimental: Study finds link to delay in speech and language development

July 29, 2018 -

Babies born early in the third trimester may show signs of delayed auditory cortex development, which is a part of the brain that helps infants hear and understand sounds. This can influence the development of a baby's communication skills as they get older. The findings might even help doctors successfully screen babies who could undergo difficulties so they can receive the help they need beforehand.

An infant is considered premature once it is born before 37 weeks of ...

Carotenoids are also good for your hearing: Study

August 24, 2018 -

The intriguing proposal first came up at the recent Nutrition 2018 conference. During a carotenoid-centric symposium, University of Georgia (UGA) professor Dr. Billy Hammond made his case for lutein's beneficial effect on the hearing of humans.

Many studies have shown that carotenoids interact with the human eyes. In contrast, the body of scientific literature that covers their connection with the human ears is much more sparse.

Hammond is very familiar with lutein's ...

Memory strengthening TMR technique found to be more successful when accompanied with undisturbed sleep to promote memory consolidation

June 11, 2018 -

Previous studies have shown that an undisturbed short plastic period after cueing is needed for TMR to be effective. Therefore, researchers from Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium looked at the effect of verbatim or interfering auditory presentation during wakefulness or non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and its impact on memory consolidation.

The researchers recruited 96 participants for the study. The participants were tasked to study a list of 40 word pairs that ...
