We might be forced to listen to a high-frequency tone at our audiologist's office or we might
enjoy falling asleep with a white-noise machine, but the sounds that really matter to us are …

A core goal of auditory neuroscience is to build quantitative models that predict cortical
responses to natural sounds. Reasoning that a complete model of auditory cortex must solve …

Our ability to make sense of the auditory world results from neural processing that begins in
the ear, goes through multiple subcortical areas, and continues in the cortex. The specific …

Sensory organ damage induces a host of cellular and physiological changes in the
periphery and the brain. Here, we show that some aspects of auditory processing recover …

To derive meaning from speech, we must extract multiple dimensions of concurrent
information from incoming speech signals. That is, equally important to processing phonetic …

Experience shapes our perception of the world on a moment-to-moment basis. This robust
perceptual effect of experience parallels a change in the neural representation of stimulus …

Hearing loss is a significant problem that affects at least 15% of the population. This
percentage, however, is likely significantly higher because of a variety of auditory disorders …

Good metrics of the performance of a statistical or computational model are essential for
model comparison and selection. Here, we address the design of performance metrics for …

The categorization of animal vocalizations into distinct behaviorally relevant groups for
communication is an essential operation that must be performed by the auditory system. This …

The synchronous activity of groups of neurons is increasingly thought to be important in
cortical information processing and transmission. However, most studies of processing in the …
