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 …

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

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

The effect of attention on single neuron responses in the auditory system is unresolved. We
found that when monkeys discriminated temporally amplitude modulated (AM) from …

We recorded from middle lateral belt (ML) and primary (A1) auditory cortical neurons while
animals discriminated amplitude-modulated (AM) sounds and also while they sat passively …

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

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 …

Periodic amplitude modulations (AMs) of an acoustic stimulus are presumed to be encoded
in temporal activity patterns of neurons in the cochlear nucleus. Physiological recordings …
