Thresholding of auditory cortical representation by background noise
It is generally thought that background noise can mask auditory information. However, how the noise specifically transforms neuronal auditory processing in a level-dependent manner remains to be carefully determined. Here, with in vivo loose-patch cell-attached recordings in layer 4 of the rat primary auditory cortex (A1), we systematically examined how continuous wideband noise of different le...
متن کامل[Pulse phenomenon of continuous white noise with interrupted pure tone].
The researches of masking made it clear that there is a bandpass like a filter in the auditory system. This is called the auditory filter and its central frequency is thought to be the frequency of an acoustic signal. If there exist this kind of filter, the authors expected that the noise image which is perceived when pure tone and noise simultaneously presented is different from the one which ...
متن کاملNoise improves suprathreshold discrimination in cochlear-implant listeners.
The present study aimed to examine the effect of noise on vowel-like suprathreshold discrimination in cochlear-implant listeners. The task was to detect an increment in level at the middle harmonic (400 Hz) in the background of a seven-harmonic complex from 100 to 700 Hz in 100-Hz steps. The task was performed in the absence (control) and presence of a white noise presented over a 20-35-dB rang...
متن کاملCortical activity patterns predict robust speech discrimination ability in noise.
The neural mechanisms that support speech discrimination in noisy conditions are poorly understood. In quiet conditions, spike timing information appears to be used in the discrimination of speech sounds. In this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that spike timing is also used to distinguish between speech sounds in noisy conditions that significantly degrade neural responses to speech sounds....
متن کاملSimulating Resting Cortical Background Activity with Filtered Noise
Phase slip and beat phenomena are ubiquitous in many forms of wave superposition. Likewise, it is trivially true that cumulative summation of white noise gives rise to “brown noise” (1/f power spectrum). We assume that the background electrocorticogram (ECoG) to a first approximation results from integration of innumerable action potentials by dendrites. This paper presents a simulation that re...
