Summary
PROJECT SUMMARY A more complete characterization of auditory cortical processing in humans is critical to understanding auditory perception and cognition. Without it, developing effective treatment options for various auditory processing deficits, such as those rooted in central auditory processing, may not be possible. Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding how to define and parcellate even the earliest regions of auditory cortex, including primary auditory region A1, highlighting the significant gaps in our overall understanding of sound processing. Traditional approaches to defin
