Article Abstract
Increasing attention has been devoted to the maturation of sensory processing in the first year of life. While the development of cortical visual function has been thoroughly studied, much less information is available on auditory processing and its early disorders. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the assessment techniques for early auditory processing. While otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses are well-established tools for neonatal screening of hearing loss, there have been less consistent results for neurophysiological assessments of central auditory processing in clinical practice. Early auditory event-related potentials could provide valuable diagnostic information, but their use as a possible clinical screening method is still limited and should be further assessed. Behavioural tests are few and are greatly needed in young infants as they could provide a more easily used tool for detecting the preconditions of early cerebral auditory impairment.

Human speech perception is multisensory, integrating auditory information from the talker's voice with visual information from the talker's face. BOLD fMRI studies have implicated the superior temporal gyrus (STG) in processing auditory speech and the superior temporal sulcus (STS) in integrating auditory and visual speech, but as an indirect hemodynamic measure, fMRI is limited in its ability to track the rapid neural computations underlying speech perception. Using stereoelectroencephalograpy (sEEG) electrodes, we directly recorded from the STG and STS in 42 epilepsy patients (25 F, 17 M).

Neural oscillations in beta (13-30 Hz) and gamma (>30 Hz) frequency bands index a variety of sensorimotor and cognitive processes. To compare two rehabilitation regimens for chronic stroke patients with a hemiparetic hand, we randomly assigned them to either music-supported therapy or physiotherapy for 10 weeks. Previously, we reported the music group's improved motor speed, mood, well-being, and rhythm perception.

Visuospatial perception, which is based on the comprehension of objects and space, requires spatial attention to the surrounding environment. Stimulus-related elements that affect visuospatial tasks include object geometry, familiarity, complexity, and picture plane versus depth rotation. The dorsal stream pathway from the visual cortex, which is implicated in spatial processing, reflects the spatial component needed to orient the focus of attention to the location of the expected target stimulus.

Humans live in an environment that contains rich auditory stimuli, which must be processed efficiently. The entrainment of neural oscillations to acoustic inputs may support the processing of simple and complex sounds. However, the characteristics of this entrainment process have been shown to be inconsistent across species and experimental paradigms.
