Spectro-Temporal Receptive Fields of Subthreshold Responses in Auditory Cortex
How do cortical neurons represent the acoustic environment? This question is often addressed by probing with simple stimuli such as clicks or tone pips. Such stimuli have the advantage of yielding easily interpreted answers, but have the disadvantage that they may fail to uncover complex or higher-order neuronal response properties. Here we adopt an alternative approach, probing neuronal respon...
متن کاملMatching Pursuit Analysis of Auditory Receptive Fields' Spectro-Temporal Properties
Gabor filters have long been proposed as models for spectro-temporal receptive fields (STRFs), with their specific spectral and temporal rate of modulation qualitatively replicating characteristics of STRF filters estimated from responses to auditory stimuli in physiological data. The present study builds on the Gabor-STRF model by proposing a methodology to quantitatively decompose STRFs into ...
متن کاملPrincipal components of auditory spectro-temporal receptive fields
More than two thousand auditory cortical spectro-temporal receptive fields (STRFs) of the ferret were analysed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to reveal their dominant properties. Results show that cortical levels of mammalian auditory processing enhance relatively low modulation spectral components of the signal around 3 Hz, using relatively broad spectral processing channels of the orde...
متن کاملTemporal variability of spectro-temporal receptive fields in the anesthetized auditory cortex
Temporal variability of neuronal response characteristics during sensory stimulation is a ubiquitous phenomenon that may reflect processes such as stimulus-driven adaptation, top-down modulation or spontaneous fluctuations. It poses a challenge to functional characterization methods such as the receptive field, since these often assume stationarity. We propose a novel method for estimation of s...
متن کاملMultiple-band trigger features of midbrain auditory neurons revealed in composite spectro-temporal receptive fields.
Receptive fields of single units in the auditory midbrain of anesthetized rats were studied using random FM-tone stimuli of narrow frequency-ranges. Peri-spike averaging of the modulating waveform first produced a spectro-temporal receptive field (STRF). Combining STRFs obtained from the same unit at different frequency regions generated a composite receptive field covering a wider frequency ra...
