A conspicuous ability of the brain is to seamlessly assimilate and process spatial and
temporal features of sensory stimuli. This ability is indispensable for the recognition of …

The current review constitutes the first comprehensive look at the possibility that the
mismatch negativity (MMN, the deflection of the auditory ERP/ERF elicited by stimulus …

Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

Primates display a remarkable ability to adapt to novel situations. Determining what is most
pertinent in these situations is not always possible based only on the current sensory inputs …

Most utility theories of choice assume that the introduction of an irrelevant option (called the
decoy) to a choice set does not change the preference between existing options. On the …

Understanding the dynamics of recurrent neural networks is crucial for explaining how the
brain processes information. In the neocortex, a range of different plasticity mechanisms are …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is a preattentive component of the auditory event-related
potential that is elicited by a change in a repetitive acoustic pattern. While MMN has been …

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 …

Maps of sensory receptor epithelia and computed features of the sensory environment are
common elements of auditory, visual, and somatic sensory representations from the …

Odors evoke complex responses in locust antennal lobe projection neurons (PNs)—the
mitral cell analogs. These patterns evolve over hundreds of milliseconds and contain …
