Harmonic template neurons in primate auditory cortex underlying complex sound processing.
Harmonicity is a fundamental element of music, speech, and animal vocalizations. How the auditory system extracts harmonic structures embedded in complex sounds and uses them to form a coherent unitary entity is not fully understood. Despite the prevalence of sounds rich in harmonic structures in our everyday hearing environment, it has remained largely unknown what neural mechanisms are used b...
متن کاملLevel dependence of spatial processing in the primate auditory cortex.
Sound localization in both humans and monkeys is tolerant to changes in sound levels. The underlying neural mechanism, however, is not well understood. This study reports the level dependence of individual neurons' spatial receptive fields (SRFs) in the primary auditory cortex (A1) and the adjacent caudal field in awake marmoset monkeys. We found that most neurons' excitatory SRF components wer...
متن کاملDual-pitch processing mechanisms in primate auditory cortex.
Pitch, our perception of how high or low a sound is on a musical scale, is a fundamental perceptual attribute of sounds and is important for both music and speech. After more than a century of research, the exact mechanisms used by the auditory system to extract pitch are still being debated. Theoretically, pitch can be computed using either spectral or temporal acoustic features of a sound. We...
متن کاملSpectral response patterns of auditory cortex neurons to harmonic complex tones in alert monkey (Macaca mulatta).
1. The auditory cortex in the superior temporal region of the alert rhesus monkey was explored for neuronal responses to pure and harmonic complex tones and noise. The monkeys had been previously trained to recognize the similarity between harmonic complex tones with and without fundamentals. Because this suggested that they could preceive the pitch of the lacking fundamental similarly to human...
متن کاملProcessing of sound sequences in macaque auditory cortex: response enhancement.
It is well established that the tone-evoked response of neurons in auditory cortex can be attenuated if another tone is presented several hundred milliseconds before. The present study explores in detail a complementary phenomenon in which the tone-evoked response is enhanced by a preceding tone. Action potentials from multiunit groups and single units were recorded from primary and caudomedial...
