Recently developed methods in computational neuroethology have enabled increasingly
detailed and comprehensive quantification of animal movements and behavioral kinematics …

Even though human experience unfolds continuously in time, it is not strictly linear; instead,
it entails cascading processes building hierarchical cognitive structures. For instance, during …

Abstract The Weber-Fechner law proposes that our perceived sensory input increases with
physical input on a logarithmic scale. Hippocampal 'time cells' carry a record of recent …

A number of auditory models have been developed using diverging approaches, either
physiological or perceptual, but they share comparable stages of signal processing, as they …

The vertebrate ear is endowed with remarkable perceptual capabilities. The faintest sounds
produce vibrations of magnitudes comparable to those generated by thermal noise and can …

Early in auditory processing, neural responses faithfully reflect acoustic input. At higher
stages of auditory processing, however, neurons become selective for particular call types …

Unsupervised feature learning refers to the problem of learning useful feature extraction
functions from unlabeled data. Despite the great success of deep learning networks in this …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the human event-related potential (ERP) is
frequently interpreted as a sensory prediction-error signal. However, there is ambiguity …

The ability to respond appropriately to sensory information received from the external
environment is among the most fundamental capabilities of central nervous systems. In the …

Sound texture perception takes advantage of a hierarchy of time-averaged statistical
features of acoustic stimuli, but much remains unclear about how these statistical features …
