Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the remarkable fidelity with
which the human auditory brainstem represents key acoustic features of the speech signal …

How the brain processes temporal information embedded in sounds is a core question in
auditory research. This article synthesizes recent studies from our laboratory regarding …

Key points Medial geniculate body (MGB) single units recorded from sound‐exposed
animals with behavioural evidence of tinnitus exhibits enhanced spontaneous firing and …

Efficient behavior depends in part on the ability to predict the type and the timing of events in
the environment. Specific temporal predictions require an internal representation of the …

The auditory thalamus, or medial geniculate body (MGB), is the primary sensory input to
auditory cortex. Therefore, it plays a critical role in the complex auditory processing …

In contrast to the visual system, the auditory system has longer subcortical pathways and
more spiking synapses between the peripheral receptors and the cortex. This unique …

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 …

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 …

To date it remains largely unknown how fundamental aspects of natural sounds, such as
their spectral content and location in space, are processed in human subcortical structures …

The effect of attention on single neuron responses in the auditory system is unresolved. We
found that when monkeys discriminated temporally amplitude modulated (AM) from …
