Neural Coding and Auditory
The long-term goal of this research is to understand the neural mechanisms that mediate the ability of normal-hearing people to understand speech and localize sounds in everyday acoustic environments comprising reverberation and competing sound sources. Our research has been primarily focused in three areas: (1) Effect of reverberation on the directional sensitivity and coding of amplitude enve...
متن کاملNeural coding of sound frequency by cricket auditory receptors.
Crickets provide a useful model to study neural processing of sound frequency. Sound frequency is one parameter that crickets use to discriminate between conspecific signals and sounds made by predators, yet little is known about how frequency is represented at the level of auditory receptors. In this paper, we study the physiological properties of auditory receptor fibers (ARFs) by making sing...
متن کاملNeural models of modulation frequency analysis in the auditory system
Cochlear nucleus neurons revealing ideal onset OI-type peri-stimulus time histograms (PSTH) encode temporal features of acoustic stimuli with very high precision. These neurons may therefore be involved in the recognition of natural sounds with temporally strongly varying envelopes such as speech. A new functional point-neuron model is presented here for the simulation of OI-unit responses. The...
متن کاملAuditory sensitivity of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) measured using a behavioral prepulse inhibition assay.
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become a valuable model for investigating the molecular genetics and development of the inner ear in vertebrates. In this study, we employed a prepulse inhibition (PPI) paradigm to assess hearing in larval wild-type (AB) zebrafish during early development at 5-6 days post-fertilization (d.p.f.). We measured the PPI of the acoustic startle response in zebrafish using...
متن کاملThe neural basis of visual behaviors in the larval zebrafish.
We review visually guided behaviors in larval zebrafish and summarise what is known about the neural processing that results in these behaviors, paying particular attention to the progress made in the last 2 years. Using the examples of the optokinetic reflex, the optomotor response, prey tracking and the visual startle response, we illustrate how the larval zebrafish presents us with a very pr...
