The brain activity of humans with tinnitus of various etiologies is typically studied with electro- and magneto-encephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging-based imaging techniques. Consequently, they measure population responses and mostly from the neocortex. The latter also underlies changes in neural networks that may be attributed to tinnitus. However, factors not strictly rel...

Chronic tinnitus is a symptom with high prevalence. There is evidence that the tinnitus perception is related to unfavorable cortical plastic changes. In our recent study we have developed and evaluated a customized music training strategy that appears capable of both reducing cortical tinnitus related neuronal activity and alleviating subjective tinnitus perception. We hypothesize that the reg...

This is a review of some work carried out over the last decades at the Speech Music Hearing Department, KTH, where the analysis-by-synthesis strategy was applied to singing. The origin of the work was a hardware synthesis machine combined with a control program, which was a modified version of a textto-speech conversion system. Two applications are described, one concerning vocal loudness varia...
