Debates about the ethics of human brain organoids have proceeded without input individuals whose brains are being modeled. Interviews with donors biospecimens for organoid research revealed overall enthusiasm as a tool biomedical discovery, alongside desire ongoing engagement teams to learn results research, allow transfer decision-making authority over time, and ensure ethical boundaries not crossed. Future work is needed determine most feasible resource-efficient way longitudinally engage...

Abstract Auditory processing differences, including hyper‐ or hyposensitivity to sound, aversions and difficulty listening under noisy, real‐world conditions, are commonly reported in autistic individuals. However, the developmental course functional impact of these auditory differences unclear. In this study, we investigate prevalence, trajectory, children throughout childhood using a longitudinal study design. were measured Short Sensory Profile, caregiver questionnaire, addition adaptive...

Abstract The ability to selectively attend one talker in the presence of competing talkers is crucial communication. Here we investigate whether cognitive deficits absences hearing loss can impair speech perception. We tested typical hearing, neurodivergent adolescents/adults with autism spectrum disorder, fetal alcohol and an age- sex-matched neurotypical group. found a strong correlation between IQ perception, individuals lower scores having worse thresholds. These results demonstrate that...

The ability to selectively attend one talker in the presence of competing talkers is a crucial skill employed everyday life. In this study, multitalker speech perception thresholds were measured three groups; Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD), and an age- sex-matched typically functioning (TF) group. Participants listened simultaneous sentences from Coordinate Response Measure corpus: target stream be attended (0° azimuth) two spatially separated (±45° masker...
