Auditory Neuroscience is the study of how the brain processes sound. It explores how we perceive different sounds, such as speech and music, and how these sounds are transformed into electrical signals that the brain can understand. Researchers in this field examine the pathways and structures involved in hearing, including the cochlea, auditory cortex, and various neural connections. This discipline combines elements of neuroscience, psychology, and acoustics to understand auditory perception and its impact on behavior and cognition. By studying conditions like hearing loss and auditory processing disorders, scientists aim to develop better treatments and technologies to improve hearing and communication.
