Lesion studies have indicated that the auditory cortex is crucial for the perception of acoustic
space, yet it remains unclear how these neurons participate in this perception. To investigate …

Primates engage in auditory behaviors under a broad range of signal-to-noise conditions. In
this study, optimal linear receptive fields were measured in alert primate primary auditory …

How do cortical neurons represent the acoustic environment? This question is often
addressed by probing with simple stimuli such as clicks or tone pips. Such stimuli have the …

It is well established that the tone-evoked response of neurons in auditory cortex can be
attenuated if another tone is presented several hundred milliseconds before. The present …

The vast majority of investigations on central auditory processing so far were conducted
under the influence of an anesthetic agent. It remains unclear, however, to what extend even …

The neural response to amplitude-modulated sinus sounds (AM sound) was investigated in
the auditory cortex and insula of the awake squirrel monkey. It was found that 78.1% of all …

Because of its great genetic potential, the mouse (M us musculus) has become a popular
model species for studies on hearing and sound processing along the auditory pathways …

Because auditory cortical neurons have limited stimulus-synchronized responses, cortical
representations of more rapidly occurring but still perceivable stimuli remain unclear. Here …

Because we can perceive the pitch, timbre, and spatial location of a sound source
independently, it seems natural to suppose that cortical processing of sounds might …

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 …
