Auditory neuroanatomy has a long and distinguished history. Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Hans Held were pioneers who began the process of identifying the cellular components of the central auditory system. The stature of these early neurohistologists keeps growing today as the field of auditory neuroanatomy moves from the gross identification of brain structure to the analysis of neuronal morphol...

We propose a novel model-concept of selective sound segregation based on Auditory Scene Analysis and then describe implementation of a prototype model for selectively segregating a target musical instrument sound from the mixed sound of various musical instruments. This model is extended from our previously proposed model of segregating two acoustic sources (Unoki and Akagi, Speech Communicatio...

Although the relationship between sound and meaning in language is arbitrary, reliable correspondences between sound and meaning have been found in natural language. These sound symbolic relationships affect word learning, but less is known about how sound symbolism affects online processing during learning or for well-learned stimuli. We use the visual world paradigm and an artificial lexicon ...

There are several examples of heuristic rules first proposed from empirical observation, which eventually earned physicochemical validity after the fundamental derivation of a posteriori. This may be the case of Sherwood’s plot – for which a sound rationalization from first principles, entailing enthalpy and mass balances, is provided here; it applies to (fine) chemicals undergoing concentr...
