Fluctuations in the amplitude envelope of complex sounds provide critical cues for hearing,
particularly for speech and animal vocalizations. Responses to amplitude modulation (AM) …

Conflicting results have led to different views about how temporal modulation is encoded in
primary auditory cortex (A1). Some studies find a substantial population of neurons that …

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 …

In many animals, the information most important for processing communication sounds,
including speech, consists of temporal envelope cues below∼ 20 Hz. Physiological studies …

In macaques, the middle lateral auditory cortex (ML) is a belt region adjacent to the primary
auditory cortex (A1) and believed to be at a hierarchically higher level. Although ML single …

Most models of auditory cortical (AC) population coding have focused on primary auditory
cortex (A1). Thus our understanding of how neural coding for sounds progresses along the …

The ability to discriminate between complex natural sounds is critical for survival. Changes
in arousal and other aspects of behavioral state can impact the accuracy of sensory coding …

The accuracy of the neural code depends on the relative embedding of signal and noise in
the activity of neural populations. Despite a wealth of theoretical work on population codes …

Both mice and primates are used to model the human auditory system. The primate order
possesses unique cortical specializations that govern auditory processing. Given the power …

The notion that neurons with higher selectivity carry more information about external sensory
inputs is widely accepted in neuroscience. High-selectivity neurons respond to a narrow …
