Temporal Processing and Adaptation in the Songbird Auditory Forebrain
Songbird auditory neurons must encode the dynamics of natural sounds at many volumes. We investigated how neural coding depends on the distribution of stimulus intensities. Using reverse-correlation, we modeled responses to amplitude-modulated sounds as the output of a linear filter and a nonlinear gain function, then asked how filters and nonlinearities depend on the stimulus mean and variance...
متن کاملInhibitory network interactions shape the auditory processing of natural communication signals in the songbird auditory forebrain.
The role of GABA in the central processing of complex auditory signals is not fully understood. We have studied the involvement of GABA A-mediated inhibition in the processing of birdsong, a learned vocal communication signal requiring intact hearing for its development and maintenance. We focused on caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), an area analogous to parts of the mammalian auditory cortex with...
متن کاملTask Engagement in Songbird Auditory Forebrain
27 Sensory systems are dynamic. They must process a wide range of natural signals that facilitate 28 adaptive behaviors in a manner that depends on an organism’s constantly changing goals. A full 29 understanding of the sensory physiology that underlies adaptive natural behaviors must therefore 30 account for the activity of sensory systems in light of these behavioral goals. Here, we present a...
متن کاملWithin- and across-channel processing in auditory masking: a physiological study in the songbird forebrain.
Synchronous envelope fluctuations in different frequency ranges of an acoustic background enhance the detection of signals in background noise. This effect, termed comodulation masking release (CMR), is attributed to both processing within one frequency channel of the auditory system and comparisons across separate frequency channels. Here we present data on CMR from a study in field L2 of the ...
متن کاملTimescales in songbird auditory processing
In order to investigate the timescale over which timing precision is significant in complex neuronal networks, a similarity measure is defined for spike trains. This measure requires a similarity function which is optimized using a simple artificial neural net.
