The cerebral representation of the temporal envelope of sounds was studied in five normal-
hearing subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging. The stimuli were white …

Sensory systems rely on populations of neurons to encode information transduced at the
periphery into meaningful patterns of neuronal population activity. This transduction occurs …

A natural sound can be described by dynamic changes in envelope (amplitude) and carrier
(frequency), corresponding to amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) …

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 …

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

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 …

It has been suggested that “call-selective” neurons may play an important role in the
encoding of vocalizations in primary auditory cortex (A1). For example, marmoset A1 …

We recorded human auditory cortical activity during the perception of long, changing
acoustic signals and analyzed information provided by dynamic neural population measures …

Sound envelope temporal fluctuations are important for effective processing of biologically-
relevant acoustic signals including speech sounds, animal vocalizations, pitch cues, music …

Several algorithms have been proposed to characterize the spectro-temporal tuning
properties of auditory neurons during the presentation of natural stimuli. Algorithms …
