Efficient coding of natural sounds
Introduction Many previous studies in auditory neurophysiology have used simple tonal stimuli to understand how neurons encode sound. While these studies have shed light on many important neural characteristics, pure tones do not typically occur in our environment. Instead, we are often surrounded by multiple sound sources with complex harmonic and transient components such as speech, environme...
متن کاملEfficient Coding of Natural Sounds
In this dissertation, methods for an efficient coding of natural sounds are proposed that are based on the concept of “sparse coding” which has been identified as one major mechanism involved in the neurosensory information processing. In the first chapter it is demonstrated that in the MPEG-2/4 AAC audio coding scheme the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) can be replaced with a shift-i...
متن کاملEfficient Neural Coding of Natural Images
A wide variety of studies over the last twenty years have demonstrated that our sensory systems are remarkably efficient at coding the sensory environment. Much of this work has focused on the visual system and it has demonstrated that many properties of the early visual system are extremely well matched to the statistical structure of the visual world. However, there remain many questions rega...
متن کاملNatural image statistics and efficient coding.
Natural images contain characteristic statistical regularities that set them apart from purely random images. Understanding what these regularities are can enable natural images to be coded more efficiently. In this paper, we describe some of the forms of structure that are contained in natural images, and we show how these are related to the response properties of neurons at early stages of th...
متن کاملSparse Spectrotemporal Coding of Sounds
Recent studies of biological auditory processing have revealed that sophisticated spectrotemporal analyses are performed by central auditory systems of various animals. The analysis is typically well matched with the statistics of relevant natural sounds, suggesting that it produces an optimal representation of the animal’s acoustic biotope. We address this topic using simulated neurons that le...
