Coding space-time stimulus dynamics in auditory brain maps
Sensory maps are often distorted representations of the environment, where ethologically-important ranges are magnified. The implication of a biased representation extends beyond increased acuity for having more neurons dedicated to a certain range. Because neurons are functionally interconnected, non-uniform representations influence the processing of high-order features that rely on compariso...
متن کاملCoding of auditory space.
Behavioral, anatomical, and physiological approaches can be integrated in the study of sound localization in barn owls. Space representation in owls provides a useful example for discussion of place and ensemble coding. Selectivity for space is broad and ambiguous in low-order neurons. Parallel pathways for binaural cues and for different frequency bands converge on high-order space-specific ne...
متن کاملSubthreshold K+ channel dynamics interact with stimulus spectrum to influence temporal coding in an auditory brain stem model.
Neurons in the auditory brain stem encode signals with exceptional temporal precision. A low-threshold potassium current, IKLT, present in many auditory brain stem structures and thought to enhance temporal encoding, facilitates spike selection of rapid input current transients through an associated dynamic gate. Whether the dynamic nature of IKLT interacts with the timescales in spectrally ric...
متن کاملEffect of stimulus intensity level on auditory middle latency response brain maps in human adults.
Auditory middle latency response (AMLR) brain maps were obtained in 11 young adults with normal hearing. AMLR waveforms were elicited with monaural clicks presented at three stimulus intensity levels (50, 70, and 90 dB nHL). Recordings were made for right and left ear stimulus presentations. All recordings were obtained in an eyes open/awake status for each subject. Peak-to-peak amplitudes and ...
متن کاملSensory maps: Aligning maps of visual and auditory space
Survival, for predator or prey, may turn on the fraction of a second it takes an animal to centre its gaze on the source of a sound or movement detected in its periphery. Central to the performance of this task is a nucleus in the midbrain called, in mammals, the superior colliculus. This structure combines sensory information with signals from motor areas and computes an output to control the ...
