The perceptual quality associated with amplitude modulated tones (AM) varies as a function
of modulation frequency (fm): AM of low fm (up to about 100 Hz) evoke percepts of rhythm …

A number of laboratories have recently refined descriptions of temporal response properties,
from the auditory periphery to the midbrain. At many levels of the auditory pathway, the role …

1. Single-unit recordings were made in the auditory midbrain, the torus semicircularis (TS) of
the northern leopard frog, to independently characterize the processing of different temporal …

Auditory neurons typically respond to a restricted range of frequencies and amplitudes of
pure tone stimuli. These findings have led to the concept of the classical frequency receptive …

We characterize primary auditory cortex (AI) units using a neural model for the detection of
frequency and amplitude transitions. The model is a generalization of a model for the …

Interaural intensity differences (IIDs) are important cues that animals use to localize high-
frequency sounds. Neurons sensitive to IIDs are excited by stimulation of one ear and …

Many natural sounds are characterized by periodic envelope or amplitude modulation (AM).
The perceptual qualities corresponding to this signal characteristic are rhythm for low and …

In the natural acoustic environment sounds frequently arrive at the two ears in quick
succession. The responses of a cortical neuron to acoustic stimuli can be dramatically …

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 …

The rat primary auditory cortex was explored for neuronal responses to pure tones and
sinusoidally amplitude‐modulated (SAM) and frequency‐modulated (SFM) stimuli. Units …
