Normalization as a canonical neural computation

M Carandini, DJ Heeger - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
There is increasing evidence that the brain relies on a set of canonical neural computations,
repeating them across brain regions and modalities to apply similar operations to different …

Speaker normalization in speech perception

K Johnson, MJ Sjerps - The handbook of speech perception, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Speech produced by different people varies acoustically because of individual differences in
vocal tract physiology. This acoustic variation in the “same” words of language presents a …

Efficient tensor network simulation of ibm's eagle kicked ising experiment

J Tindall, M Fishman, EM Stoudenmire, D Sels - Prx quantum, 2024 - APS
We report an accurate and efficient classical simulation of a kicked Ising quantum system on
the heavy hexagon lattice. A simulation of this system was recently performed on a 127-qubit …

A task-optimized neural network replicates human auditory behavior, predicts brain responses, and reveals a cortical processing hierarchy

AJE Kell, DLK Yamins, EN Shook… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
A core goal of auditory neuroscience is to build quantitative models that predict cortical
responses to natural sounds. Reasoning that a complete model of auditory cortex must solve …

The multivariate temporal response function (mTRF) toolbox: a MATLAB toolbox for relating neural signals to continuous stimuli

MJ Crosse, GM Di Liberto, A Bednar… - Frontiers in human …, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Understanding how brains process sensory signals in natural environments is one of the key
goals of twenty-first century neuroscience. While brain imaging and invasive …

Emergence of neural encoding of auditory objects while listening to competing speakers

N Ding, JZ Simon - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
A visual scene is perceived in terms of visual objects. Similar ideas have been proposed for
the analogous case of auditory scene analysis, although their hypothesized neural …

The hierarchical cortical organization of human speech processing

WA de Heer, AG Huth, TL Griffiths… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Speech comprehension requires that the brain extract semantic meaning from the spectral
features represented at the cochlea. To investigate this process, we performed an fMRI …

Neural coding of continuous speech in auditory cortex during monaural and dichotic listening

N Ding, JZ Simon - Journal of neurophysiology, 2012 - journals.physiology.org
The cortical representation of the acoustic features of continuous speech is the foundation of
speech perception. In this study, noninvasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings …

Automatic speech emotion recognition using modulation spectral features

S Wu, TH Falk, WY Chan - Speech communication, 2011 - Elsevier
In this study, modulation spectral features (MSFs) are proposed for the automatic recognition
of human affective information from speech. The features are extracted from an auditory …

Sound texture perception via statistics of the auditory periphery: evidence from sound synthesis

JH McDermott, EP Simoncelli - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
Rainstorms, insect swarms, and galloping horses produce" sound textures"—the collective
result of many similar acoustic events. Sound textures are distinguished by temporal …
