The human auditory system encodes sound with a high degree of temporal and spectral
resolution. When hearing fails, existing neuroprosthetics such as cochlear implants may …

In classical computational neuroscience, analytical model descriptions are derived from
neuronal recordings to mimic the underlying biological system. These neuronal models are …

Phase locking of auditory-nerve-fiber (ANF) responses to the temporal fine structure of
acoustic stimuli, a hallmark of the auditory system's temporal precision, is important for many …

In studying how neural populations in sensory cortex code dynamically varying stimuli to
guide behavior, the role of spiking after stimuli have ended has been underappreciated. This …

It has been demonstrated that, while otherwise detrimental, noise can improve sensory
perception under optimal conditions. The mechanism underlying this improvement is …

Information processing in the nervous system critically relies on temporally precise spiking
activity. In the auditory system, various degrees of phase-locking can be observed from the …

Several approaches have been used to describe the rate-level functions of auditory-nerve
fibers (ANFs). One approach uses descriptive models that can be fitted easily to data …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is an auditory midbrain structure involved in processing
biologically important temporal features of sounds. The responses of IC neurons to these …

Half a century ago, Nelson Kiang and colleagues observed that some spike rate versus
stimulus level functions of auditory-nerve-fiber responses to tones are nonmonotonic …

Beats are periodic amplitude modulations resulting from the superposition of two spectrally
close periodic signals, where the difference between the two signal frequencies defines the …
