Voice-sensitivity in the auditory cortex of a range of mammals has been proposed to be determined primarily by tuning to conspecific auditory stimuli, but recent human findings indicate a role for a more general tuning to voicelikeness.Vocal emotional valence, a central characteristic of vocalisations, has been linked to the same basic acoustic par

This article is inspired by the 2017 discussions on the future of Europe (in particular read more some of the ideas debated in the White Paper on the Future of Europe, published by the European Commission) and the events that took place in the crises and post-crises period (aftermath of the financial crisis, ongoing refugee crisis and the Brexit sh

The theoretical foundations of a metamaterial (MM) liner for the MRI bore that facilitates the propagation of reduced-cutoff cylindrical waveguide modes are presented in the Part 1 companion paper to this work.Here, in Part 2, the practical design and modelling of the novel MM liner is applied to a body MRI radio-frequency (RF) transmitter for 4.7T

In subjective listening tests, natural sound sources were presented to subjects as vertically-oriented phantom images from two layers of loudspeakers, ‘height’ and ‘main’.Subjects were required to reduce the amplitude of the height layer until the read more position of the resultant sound source matched that of the same source presented fro
