Envelope fluctuations of complex sounds carry information that is essential for many types of
discrimination and for detection in noise. To study the neural representation of envelope …

Modulation detection and modulation rate discrimination thresholds were obtained at three
different modulation rates (fm= 80, 160, and 320 Hz) and for three different ranges of …

Key points• Amplitude modulation (AM) is a key information‐carrying feature of natural
sounds. The majority of physiological data on AM representation are in response to 100 …

Amplitude modulation (AM) is a common feature of natural sounds, and its detection is
biologically important. Even though most sounds are not fully modulated, the majority of …

The auditory system converts the physical properties of a sound waveform to neural
activities and processes them for recognition. During the process, the tuning to amplitude …

Temporal modulations in stimulus amplitude are essential for recognizing and categorizing
behaviorally relevant acoustic signals such as speech. Despite this behavioral importance, it …

Sound envelope temporal fluctuations are important for effective processing of biologically
relevant acoustic information including speech, animal vocalizations, sound‐source …

Previous observations show that humans outperform non-human primates on some
temporally-based auditory discrimination tasks, suggesting there are species differences in …

Envelope temporal fluctuations are critical for effective processing of biologically relevant
sounds including speech, animal vocalizations, sound-source location and pitch. Amplitude …
