The perceptual quality associated with amplitude modulated tones (AM) varies as a function
of modulation frequency (fm): AM of low fm (up to about 100 Hz) evoke percepts of rhythm …

Many natural sounds are characterized by periodic envelope or amplitude modulation (AM).
The perceptual qualities corresponding to this signal characteristic are rhythm for low and …

The discrimination of temporal information in acoustic inputs is a crucial aspect of auditory
perception, yet very few studies have focused on auditory perceptual learning of timing …

Background Due to auditory experience, musicians have better auditory expertise than non-
musicians. An increased neocortical activity during auditory oddball stimulation was …

Reaction speed to respond to an auditory target stimulus is enhanced when it is presented
at a moment matching the temporal structure of a preceding regular rhythm (Sanabria et al …

How the auditory system processes temporal information of sound has been investigated
extensively using repeated stimuli. Recent studies on how the response of neurons in the …

Auditory experience and behavioral training can modify perceptual performance. However,
the consequences of temporal perceptual learning for temporal and spectral neural …

Responses of neurons in the primary auditory cortex (AI) of adult male Mongolian gerbils to
tones and amplitude modulated tones (AM) were investigated. It is shown that AM signals …

It is commonly assumed that different perceptual qualities arising from sensory stimuli
depend on their physical nature being transformed by specific peripheral receptors, for …

The early stages of the auditory system need to preserve the timing information of sounds in
order to extract the basic features of acoustic stimuli. At the same time, different processes of …
