An important question in sensory neuroscience is what coding strategies and mechanisms
are used by the brain to detect and discriminate among behaviorally relevant stimuli. There …

To understand the strategies used by the brain to analyze complex environments, we must
first characterize how the features of sensory stimuli are encoded in the spiking of neuronal …

Many animals, including humans, use species-specific vocalizations to convey biologically
relevant information to members of the same species. These communication sounds …

Current models for neural coding of vowels are typically based on linear descriptions of the
auditory periphery, and fail at high sound levels and in background noise. These models …

Selectivity for processing of species‐specific vocalizations and communication sounds has
often been associated with the auditory cortex. The midbrain inferior colliculus, however, is …

In this study, we investigate the ability of the mammalian auditory pathway to adapt its
strategy for temporal processing under natural stimulus conditions. We derive temporal …

The auditory midbrain implant (AMI) consists of a single shank array (20 sites) for stimulation
along the tonotopic axis of the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC) and has been …

Humans and animals maintain accurate sound discrimination in the presence of loud
sources of background noise. It is commonly assumed that this ability relies on the …

One of the central tasks of the mammalian auditory system is to represent information about
acoustic communicative signals, such as vocalizations. However, the neuronal computations …

A major goal in auditory neuroscience is to characterize how communication sounds are
represented at the cortical level. The present review aims at investigating the role of auditory …
