Sensitivity of the human auditory cortex to acoustic degradation of speech and non-speech sounds.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Circadian clocks are endogenous biochemical oscillators that control daily behavioral rhythms in all living organisms. In fruit fly, the circadian rhythms are typically studied using power spectra of multiday behavioral recordings. Despite decades of study, a quantitative understanding of the temporal shape ...
