… This study investigated auditory stimulus selectivity in the midbrain … were taken across
laminae of the midbrain SC of the awake, … (FM) echolocation sound sequences with dynamic …

… Hence, most studies of auditory physiology are restricted to pure tones … of auditory encoding.
In this paper we pursue a novel approach to the study of natural sound encoding in auditory …

… How natural communication sounds are spatially represented across the inferior colliculus,
the main center of convergence for auditory information in the midbrain, is not known. The …

… Neurons in the auditory system are spatially organized in their responses to pure tones,
and this tonotopy is expected to predict neuronal responses to more complex sounds such as …

… The main aim of this article is to study the representation of natural sounds in the auditory
midbrain (inferior colliculus, IC). The IC is an important integration hub in the auditory pathway …

… statistical features are processed along the auditory pathway. Here, we compared the
neural representation of sound textures in the inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory cortex (AC) of …

… Surprisingly, we find that for responses to natural sounds from groups of neurons, the filtering
approach yields better predic tions than the biophysically detailed model. The collective, …

… of natural sounds, suggesting that neurons in the auditory midbrain predict the mean level
of future sounds and … Here we show that auditory cortex receptive field models benefit from a …

… Furthermore, these sounds share various properties with natural sounds that allow us to
overcome some of the practical limitations of white noise, randomly interleaved tone pips, and …

… the network optimized to represent natural sound statistics and to … neural representation in
the auditory midbrain. Additionally, the … natural sounds used to construct the auditory scene. …
