Revealing the relationships between perceptual representations in the brain and
mechanisms of adult perceptual learning is of great importance, potentially leading to …

Understanding the neural mechanisms of invariant object recognition remains one of the
major unsolved problems in neuroscience. A common solution that is thought to be …

Temporal and quantitative relations between excitatory and inhibitory inputs in the cortex are
central to its activity, yet they remain poorly understood. In particular, a controversy exists …

In the auditory cortex, brief sounds elicit a powerful suppression of responsiveness that can
persist for hundreds of milliseconds. This forward suppression (sometimes also called …

The Speech Reception Threshold for sentences in stationary noise and in several amplitude-
modulated noises was measured for 8 normal-hearing listeners, 29 sensorineural hearing …

Many models of cortical dynamics have focused on the high-firing regime, in which neurons
are driven near their maximal rate. Here we consider the responses of neurons in auditory …

Current concepts of cortical information processing and most cortical network models largely
rest on the assumption that well-studied properties of local synaptic connectivity are …

When interfering objects occlude a scene, the visual system restores the occluded
information. Similarly, when a sound of interest (a" foreground" sound) is interrupted …

In sensory systems, the thalamus has historically been considered a relay station. Neural
representations of temporal modulations in the auditory system undergo considerable …
