Running head: ENSEMBLE CODING IN AUDITION 1 Ensemble Coding in Audition
In vision, humans use summary statistics (e.g., average facial expression) to efficiently perceive the “gist” of groups of features. Here, we present direct evidence that ensemble coding is important for auditory processing. We found that listeners could accurately estimate the mean frequency of a set of logarithmically spaced pure tones presented in a temporal sequence (Experiment 1) but that ...
متن کاملEnsemble coding of vocal control in birdsong.
Zebra finch song is represented in the high-level motor control nucleus high vocal center (HVC) (Reiner et al., 2004) as a sparse sequence of spike bursts. In contrast, the vocal organ is driven continuously by smoothly varying muscle control signals. To investigate how the sparse HVC code is transformed into continuous vocal patterns, we recorded in the singing zebra finch from populations of ...
متن کاملNeural Ensemble Coding of Satiety States
The motivation to start or terminate a meal involves the continual updating of information on current body status by central gustatory and reward systems. Previous electrophysiological and neuroimaging investigations revealed region-specific decreases in activity as the subject's state transitions from hunger to satiety. By implanting bundles of microelectrodes in the lateral hypothalamus, orbi...
متن کاملChapter 2 : Neuronal ensemble coding of birdsong
In many models of neural population coding, similar sensory or motor states are represented in the brain by similar neural ensembles (Georgopoulos et al., 1999; Lewis and Kristan, 1998; Wilson and McNaughton, 1993). To explore this issue, we measured the activity of large numbers of single neurons in the pre-motor nucleus RA of the singing zebra finch. During singing, individual RA neurons gene...
متن کاملSparse convolutional coding for neuronal ensemble identification
Cell ensembles, originally proposed by Donald Hebb in 1949, are subsets of synchronously firing neurons and proposed to explain basic firing behavior in the brain. Despite having been studied for many years no conclusive evidence has been presented yet for their existence and involvement in information processing such that their identification is still a topic of modern research, especially sin...
