The timing of the first, and sometimes only, spike of auditory neurons evoked by an acoustic
stimulus depends on a variety of parameters. Recent studies have suggested that several of …

The auditory modality is fundamentally a temporal sense that requires analysis of changes
in sound signals on timescales ranging from microseconds to minutes. To generate a faithful …

Neurons in visual, somatosensory, and auditory cortex can respond to the termination as
well as the onset of a sensory stimulus. In auditory cortex, these off responses may underlie …

Recent studies of macaque monkey auditory cortex have revealed convergent auditory and
somatosensory activity in the caudomedial area (CM) of the belt region. In the present study …

It has been proposed that sound information is separately streamed into onset and offset
pathways for parallel processing. However, how offset responses contribute to auditory …

Sound recognition relies not only on spectral cues, but also on temporal cues, as
demonstrated by the profound impact of time reversals on perception of common sounds. To …

The functions of the medial geniculate body (MGB) in normal hearing still remain somewhat
enigmatic, in part due to the relatively unexplored properties of the non-lemniscal MGB …

Unexpected changes in incoming sensory streams are associated with large errors in
predicting the deviant stimulus relative to a memory trace of past stimuli. Mismatch negativity …

Offset responses in auditory processing appear after a sound terminates. They arise in
neuronal circuits within the peripheral auditory system, but their role in the central auditory …

Human subjects respond to low-intensity electric and magnetic fields. If the ability to do so
were a form of sensory transduction, one would expect that fields could trigger evoked …
