Auditory Pathways: Are ‘What’ and ‘Where’ Appropriate?
نویسنده
چکیده
New evidence confirms that the auditory system encompasses temporal, parietal and frontal brain regions, some of which partly overlap with the visual system. But common assumptions about the functional homologies between sensory systems may be misleading.

Task-modulated "what" and "where" pathways in human auditory cortex.
Human neuroimaging studies suggest that localization and identification of relevant auditory objects are accomplished via parallel parietal-to-lateral-prefrontal "where" and anterior-temporal-to-inferior-frontal "what" pathways, respectively. Using combined hemodynamic (functional MRI) and electromagnetic (magnetoencephalography) measurements, we investigated whether such dual pathways exist al...
متن کاملThe cognitive neuropsychology of auditory hallucinations: a parallel auditory pathways framework.
Auditory hallucinations are generally defined as false perceptions. Recent developments in auditory neuroscience have rapidly increased our understanding of normal auditory perception revealing (partially) separate pathways for the identification ("what") and localization ("where") of auditory objects. The current review offers a reexamination of the nature of auditory hallucinations in schizop...
متن کاملDissociable Influences of Auditory Object vs. Spatial Attention on Visual System Oscillatory Activity
Given that both auditory and visual systems have anatomically separate object identification ("what") and spatial ("where") pathways, it is of interest whether attention-driven cross-sensory modulations occur separately within these feature domains. Here, we investigated how auditory "what" vs. "where" attention tasks modulate activity in visual pathways using cortically constrained source esti...
متن کاملAutomatic and intrinsic auditory "what" and "where" processing in humans revealed by electrical neuroimaging.
The auditory system includes 2 parallel functional pathways-one for treating sounds' identities and another for their spatial attributes (so-called "what" and "where" pathways). We examined the spatiotemporal mechanisms along auditory "what" and "where" pathways and whether they are automatically engaged in differentially processing spatial and pitch information of identical stimuli. Electrical...
متن کاملBrainstem origins for cortical 'what' and 'where' pathways in the auditory system.
We have developed a data-driven conceptual framework that links two areas of science: the source-filter model of acoustics and cortical sensory processing streams. The source-filter model describes the mechanics behind speech production: the identity of the speaker is carried largely in the vocal cord source and the message is shaped by the ever-changing filters of the vocal tract. Sensory proc...
