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 …

The main goal of the present study was to investigate the encoding of a biologically-relevant
acoustic feature—amplitude modulation (AM)—in single neurons of the auditory nerve and …

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 …

Investigating responses of auditory neurons to critical features of important sounds is one
approach to understanding the neural basis of complex sound encoding by the auditory …

Rapid changes in sound amplitude—amplitude modulation (AM)—comprise an important
feature of biologically-relevant sounds, including speech. In the companion paper, a …

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

Most natural sounds, including speech, exhibit temporal amplitude fluctuations. This
information is encoded as amplitude modulations (AM)—essential for auditory and speech …

1. Amplitude modulation (AM) is a pervasive property of acoustic communication systems. In
the present study we investigate neural temporal mechanisms in the auditory nerve and …

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