Unilateral hearing loss represents great risk to academic backwardness, communication, social development, and also to auditory processing. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the auditory abilities of localization, closing, figure-ground, temporal resolution, and simple temporal ordering in a male 17-year-old individual diagnosed with profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss of i...

Four experiments examined judgements of the duration of auditory and visual stimuli. Two used a bisection method, and two used verbal estimation. Auditory/visual differences were found when durations of auditory and visual stimuli were explicitly compared and when durations from both modalities were mixed in partition bisection. Differences in verbal estimation were also found both when people ...

The existing literature on neuroimaging studies of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) in patients with schizophrenia contains an apparent "paradox" in that the same areas in the auditory cortex seem to be both activated and deactivated in relation to AVHs, depending on whether an external auditory stimulus is present or not. We performed meta-analyses of neuroimaging studies examining patien...
