Modeling Stimulus-response Functions in the Auditory System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a novel approach to evaluate stimulus-response functions of neurons in the auditory system. This method can account for spectral and other features of acoustic stimuli, e.g. amplitude of sound envelope, sound direction, etc. This approach allows us to investigate the importance of a diverse set of stimulus features for processing sounds by auditory neurons. It also allows for the design of stimulus-response filters based on neuronal receptive fields, i.e., "neurolets", which are described here as examples of potentially new sound processing methods inspired by neuronal processing.

Background & Aim: Auditory steady state response(ASSR) is an auditory evoked response that has received a lot of attention nowadays. At present, ASSR is mostly used to estimate pure-tone thresholds. Clinical evidence of ASSR in combination with findings for auditory middle latency response (AMLR) and 40 Hz response support the assumption that based on stimulus modulation rate, the ASSR anat...
متن کاملNonlinearities and contextual influences in auditory cortical responses modeled with multilinear spectrotemporal methods.
The relationship between a sound and its neural representation in the auditory cortex remains elusive. Simple measures such as the frequency response area or frequency tuning curve provide little insight into the function of the auditory cortex in complex sound environments. Spectrotemporal receptive field (STRF) models, despite their descriptive potential, perform poorly when used to predict a...
متن کاملSelective deficits in human audition: evidence from lesion studies
The human auditory cortex is the gateway to the most powerful and complex communication systems and yet relatively little is known about its functional organization as compared to the visual system. Several lines of evidence, predominantly from recent studies, indicate that sound recognition and sound localization are processed in two at least partially independent networks. Evidence from human...
