Inhibiting the inhibition [PDF]
, 2007 The precedence effect describes the phenomenon whereby echoes are spatially fused to the location of an initial sound by selectively suppressing the directional information of lagging sounds (echo suppression).

Two stages of bandwidth scaling drives efficient neural coding of natural sounds.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Theories of efficient coding propose that the auditory system is optimized for the statistical structure of natural sounds, yet the transformations underlying optimal acoustic representations are not well understood.

Some investigations into non passive listening [PDF]
, 2006 Our knowledge of the function of the auditory nervous system is based upon a wealth of data obtained, for the most part, in anaesthetised animals. More recently, it has been generally acknowledged that factors such as attention profoundly modulate the ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Active mechanical amplification of sound occurs in cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) that change their length with oscillations of their membrane potential. Such length changes are the proposed cellular source of the cochlear amplifier, and prestin is the

Neural circuits underlying auditory contrast gain control and their perceptual implications
Nature Communications, 2020 Auditory contrast gain control helps us perceive sounds as constant despite changes in the environment or background noise. Here, the authors show that neurons in the auditory thalamus and midbrain of mice display independent contrast gain control, not ...

Auditory spatial acuity approximates the resolving power of space-specific neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The relationship between neuronal acuity and behavioral performance was assessed in the barn owl (Tyto alba), a nocturnal raptor renowned for its ability to localize sounds and for the topographic representation of auditory space found in the midbrain ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Tinnitus is the phantom perception of sound that has no external source. A neurological signature of tinnitus, and the frequently associated hyperacusis, is an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory activity in the central auditory system (CAS ...

Deciphering the brain's codes [PDF]
, 1991 The two sensory systems discussed use similar algorithms for the synthesis of the neuronal selectivity for the stimulus that releases a particular behavior, although the neural circuits, the brain sites involved, and even the species are different.

A neural ensemble correlation code for sound category identification.
PLoS Biology, 2019 Humans and other animals effortlessly identify natural sounds and categorize them into behaviorally relevant categories. Yet, the acoustic features and neural transformations that enable sound recognition and the formation of perceptual categories are ...

Cortical transformation of spatial processing for solving the cocktail party problem: a computational model(1,2,3). [PDF]
, 2016 In multisource, "cocktail party" sound environments, human and animal auditory systems can use spatial cues to effectively separate and follow one source of sound over competing sources.
