Fresh data on life sciences are presented in the report 'Noise-induced increase in human auditory evoked neuromagnetic fields.' "Noise is usually detrimental to auditory perception. However, recent psychophysical studies have shown that low levels of broadband noise may improve signal detection," scientists writing in the European Journal of Neuroscience report (see also Life Sciences).
"Here, we measured auditory evoked fields (AEFs) while participants listened passively to low-pitched and high-pitched tones (Experiment 1) or complex sounds that included a tuned or a mistuned component that yielded the perception of concurrent sound objects (Experiment 2). In ...
