fMRI can map how sound intensity and loudness interact across the auditory pathway

Evidence

We used auditory fMRI to measure responses to unilateral narrowband noise stimuli in the human auditory system of normal hearing subjects. Based on these measures, we investigated the interrelation of ear of entry, sound pressure level, individual loudness and the corresponding brain activity by means of linear mixed effects models for a large number of distinct regions of interest in the ascending auditory pathway and in the cortex. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2639
