Long-term recognition memory for auditory patterns

Competition between two memory traces for long-term recognition memory.

Previous studies investigating the processes which underlie memory consolidation focused almost exclusively on isolated learning events. Here I studied the competition of two similar memory traces for consolidation non-conditioned recognition memory in adult male C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice using the olfactory cues based social discrimination procedure. My results show that the interference phenomena t...

Long-Term Social Recognition Memory in Zebrafish.

In species in which individuals live in stable social groups, individual recognition is expected to evolve to allow individuals to remember past interactions with different individuals and adjust future behavior toward them accordingly. Thus, social memory is expected to be a ubiquitous component of social cognition of social species. However, few studies have investigated the occurrence of soc...

Long short-term memory networks for noise robust speech recognition

In this paper we introduce a novel hybrid model architecture for speech recognition and investigate its noise robustness on the Aurora 2 database. Our model is composed of a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural net exploiting long-range context information for phoneme prediction and a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) for decoding. The DBN is able to learn pronunciation va...

Effects of Long Term Memory on Auditory Spatial Attention

Auditory memory for random time patterns.

The acquisition of auditory memory for temporal patterns was investigated. The temporal patterns were random sequences of irregularly spaced clicks. Participants performed a task previously used to study auditory memory for noise [Agus, Thorpe, and Pressnitzer (2010). Neuron 66, 610-618]. The memory for temporal patterns displayed strong similarities with the memory for noise: temporal patterns...
