Media Relations Office Main navigation A new discovery in the human auditory system News Published: 6Apr2016 By Shawn Hayward, Discovery will inform further research into hearing disorders and brain training Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital at McGill University have made an important discovery about the human auditory system and how to study it, findings that could lead to better testing and diagnosis of hearing-related disorders. The researchers detected frequency-following responses (FFR) coming from a part of the brain not previously known to emit them. FFRs are neural signals generated in the brain when people hear sounds. To help pinpoint the source of FFRs, the team used magnetoencephalography (MEG), a technique that allowed them to determine the source
