A central goal of neuroscience is to understand the representations formed by brain activity
patterns and their connection to behaviour. The classic approach is to investigate how …

The ability to determine the location of a sound source is fundamental to hearing. However,
auditory space is not represented in any systematic manner on the basilar membrane of the …

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the
world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

The efficient coding hypothesis posits that sensory systems maximize information
transmitted to the brain about the environment. We develop a precise and testable form of …

Our concepts of sound localization in the vertebrate brain are widely based on the general
assumption that both the ability to detect air-borne sounds and the neuronal processing are …

Although the auditory cortex plays a necessary role in sound localization, physiological
investigations in the cortex reveal inhomogeneous sampling of auditory space that is difficult …

Advances in neuroimaging technology have led to an explosion in the number of studies
investigating the living human brain, and thereby our understanding of its structure and …

Animals constantly update their body posture to meet behavioral demands, but little is
known about the neural signals on which this depends. We therefore tracked freely foraging …
