Neurons in auditory cortex are central to our perception of sounds. However, the underlying
neural codes, and the relevance of millisecond-precise spike timing in particular, remain …

The precise timing of spikes of cortical neurons relative to stimulus onset carries substantial
sensory information. To access this information the sensory systems would need to maintain …

The present study explores the issue of cortical coding by spike count and timing using
statistical and information theoretic methods. We have shown in previous studies that …

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

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 …

Although single units in primary auditory cortex (A1) exhibit accurate timing in their phasic
response to the onset of sound (precision of a few milliseconds), paradoxically, they are …

Both mice and primates are used to model the human auditory system. The primate order
possesses unique cortical specializations that govern auditory processing. Given the power …

Several neural codes have been proposed in order to explain how neurons encode sensory
information. Here we tested the hypothesis that different codes might be employed …

The phase of low-frequency network activity in the auditory cortex captures changes in
neural excitability, entrains to the temporal structure of natural sounds, and correlates with …

Over the last 15years, an increasing number of studies have described the responsiveness
of thalamic and cortical neurons to communication sounds. Whereas initial studies have …
