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

The auditory system is stunning in its capacity for change: a single neuron can modulate its
tuning in minutes. Here we articulate a conceptual framework to understand the biology of …

Cross-modality interaction in sensory perception is advantageous for animals' survival. How
cortical sensory processing is cross-modally modulated and what are the underlying neural …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

Descending projections from sensory areas of the cerebral cortex are among the largest
pathways in the brain, suggesting that they are important for subcortical processing …

To identify sounds as novel, there must be some neural representation of commonly
occurring sounds. Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is a reduction in neural response to a …

Recent studies, conducted almost exclusively in primates, have shown that several cortical
areas usually associated with modality-specific sensory processing are subject to influences …

The auditory efferent system originates in the auditory cortex and projects to the medial
geniculate body (MGB), inferior colliculus (IC), cochlear nucleus (CN) and superior olivary …

To follow an ever-changing auditory scene, the auditory brain is continuously creating a
representation of the past to form expectations about the future. Unexpected events will …

Auditory neurons must represent accurately a wide range of sound levels using firing rates
that vary over a far narrower range of levels. Recently, we demonstrated that this “dynamic …
