The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Nerve pathways exist that carry information from the highest parts of the brain to the peripheral hearing organ, the inner ear. These descending control pathways have the potential to affect the hearing process in a number of ways; protecting from loud sounds, improving the detection of signals in noisy backgrounds, selecting stimuli of interest and regulating a variety of aspects of inner ear function. Abnormal function of these pathways can affect hearing sensitivity and may be important in ph ....Nerve pathways exist that carry information from the highest parts of the brain to the peripheral hearing organ, the inner ear. These descending control pathways have the potential to affect the hearing process in a number of ways; protecting from loud sounds, improving the detection of signals in noisy backgrounds, selecting stimuli of interest and regulating a variety of aspects of inner ear function. Abnormal function of these pathways can affect hearing sensitivity and may be important in phenomena such as tinnitus and other disorders of hearing. This project will investigate the subtle effects that selective activation of these pathways has on inner ear function and will attempt to unravel the different influences that subcomponents of the pathways have on the different aspects of hearing.Read moreRead less
