Time computations in anuran auditory systems
Temporal computations are important in the acoustic communication of anurans. In many cases, calls between closely related species are nearly identical spectrally but differ markedly in temporal structure. Depending on the species, calls can differ in pulse duration, shape and/or rate (i.e., amplitude modulation), direction and rate of frequency modulation, and overall call duration. Also, beha...
متن کاملEvolutionary adaptations for the temporal processing of natural sounds by the anuran peripheral auditory system.
Sensory systems function most efficiently when processing natural stimuli, such as vocalizations, and it is thought that this reflects evolutionary adaptation. Among the best-described examples of evolutionary adaptation in the auditory system are the frequent matches between spectral tuning in both the peripheral and central auditory systems of anurans (frogs and toads) and the frequency spect...
متن کاملCounting on dis-inhibition: a circuit motif for interval counting and selectivity in the anuran auditory system.
Information can be encoded in the temporal patterning of spikes. How the brain reads these patterns is of general importance and represents one of the greatest challenges in neuroscience. We addressed this issue in relation to temporal pattern recognition in the anuran auditory system. Many species of anurans perform mating decisions based on the temporal structure of advertisement calls. One i...
متن کاملThe Human Auditory System
Above all, music and language are forms of human communication. Since sensory function is ultimately shaped by what is biologically important to the organism, the human urge to communicate has been a powerful driving force in both the evolution of auditory function and the ways in which it can be changed by experience within an individual lifetime. The ability to extract meaning from sound requ...
متن کاملThe Human Auditory System
In this lecture, we will examine the apparatus used by a human to hear sound. These notes include the diagrams used within the lecture, as well as a description of the material covered. Further reading is suggested at the end. You will not be examined on the contents of this lecture, but knowledge of the human auditory system will aid you in your understanding of the various audio-coding scheme...
