NCT

NCT (Neural Correlates of Tinnitus) refers to the specific brain activity patterns associated with the perception of tinnitus, a condition where individuals hear ringing or buzzing without an external sound source. Researchers study these neural signatures to understand how abnormal brain signals create the sensation of phantom sounds. By identifying these correlates, scientists aim to develop targeted treatments and interventions to reduce or eliminate tinnitus, improving quality of life for affected individuals. In essence, NCT helps decode the brain's role in producing the experience of tinnitus.
